So, I am growing in that stack-a-pot now. It's gonna be kinda cool when it all fills up. I have a Tranny Clone, Hollands Hope clone, and PK Kush Clone on the bottom level / Three seedlings on the second level, one is VooDoo, the other two could be GrandDaddyPurp, Pineapple Chunk, or Blue Dream... / and on the top level, another mystery seedling, and transplanted those two UnderDog clones to this pot system.

I can see a lot of problems with this as an INSIDE grow already... light penetration, root growth, etc... but I am gonna do it anyways. It will look cool when I have 8 different strains growing in this thing... and it gives me a little more room in the 12/12 tent.

I only took one of the PK Kush for myself... but I took the biggest one. The others are in my wardrobe under the 125w CFL. I'll get some pics in a bit.. when I get around to packin up a bowl and smokin.

----------------------

So last night after doing the transplants to everything and getting this StackAPot set up... I called the wife in, to smoke a little sample of UnderDog (smooth, and very energetic) and look at my new toy. I hit the bowl, zoned out... and she was like... "You're thinking of how many more you can plant now, aren't ya?" I had to laugh, I couldn't stop laughing, because of the way it was said, and the look on her face. It was like half a plea... like saying, without saying "Please don't plant another 10 seedlings now" lol. Then after another round... she looked at me and was like... "seriously... what flavors are you putting in the ground tomorrow?" lol. I'm not planning on planting now. Think I have enough to satisfy me atm... but... it was just funny.

I am not addicted to smoking Marjuana... I am addicted to growing it.

Hello all. I have a 600 watt question for anyone using 1 fan to cool 2 or more lights...

How many CFM'S PER BULB would you recommend as an efficient cooling force. I plan on running 6-8 600 watt lights in a horizontal/vertical configuration. System will be a modular NFT/Ebb&flow. Seperate fan for atmosphere venting. Each light will have it's own fresh air intake, which will manifold to 1 fan...

Any takers?

That would depend on the grow space, and ambient temps on the room/house they are in. I would presume a 10-12" fan at least though.

Off to Lowes to buy 5 gall grey buckets and 1/2" pvc to make more cloners (since I think I figured out the mystery to cloning). I think those buckets even though smaller are gonna be better since they wont leak and are just plain simpler.

I was thinking 250cfm PER BULB.

Grow area is 1000 Cubic feet

Floor area is 9X8

Ambient temp outsuide will fluctuate between 30F and 80F
All ducting will have 4" of insulation, sans the sun tubes.
Light fan will be temp controlled, so condensation on tubes is minimal. (And it's my new house heater ;D)
Room will be dehumidified and pumped with negative ions.
2 vents in floor at rear of room will provide fresh air.

Office Depot has 9 ltr storage boxes that work well with a clear top from a disposible lasagna pan.

I couldn't find the 9, but they look like this, just smaller.

i don't think there is a fan on the market capable of cooling 6-8 600w bulbs in sequence. i ran 3 600w cooltubes in sequence with an 8" rvk fan and they were fine, if you want to run six air cooled reflectors (especially the big ones) i would recommend a similar set up. i wouldn't cool more than 3 air cooled lights from one fan though, the heat of the last bulb to be cooled would be double what the first one is.

i don't really know much about cfm ratings, trial and error is a good way to make a grow work on a budget, my preference is an over-engineered grow room that will give you no problems.

like bassman says there are a lot of variables to take into account, you are asking in the right place at least.

Hey cof have you used this?
I have a Rubbermaid tuffneck or whatever ppl use for most of the diy examples on the net...leaks like a mofo!! I has to use 2 layers self sticking door seal and foil tape where the lid meets the sides. I have to remove tape and re apply every time I check ph or change water. What a PITA!!!
If this seals I am interested. Only reason I like the homer bucket idea is that I know for SURE it wont leak.

edit

Is the clear lasagna top for use as a humidity dome??

1000 ft3 sounds bigger that a 9x8 footprint unless you have 14' high ceilings?
I agree with ghb I am afraid, I dont wanna steer you wrong and buy less that needed. I run an 8" fan on a single 600, def overkill, but I can speed control it and quiet it down, and it is in my 4x4x7 tent.
I run a 1000w in a 6x8x10h with a 250 cfm fan, and it stays around 75-80 with the ambient being 70*....if that helps at all.
