New grower here... looking for some advice about my setup.

I have a standard two car garage with no doors or windows to the outside, aside from the car door itself. I bought a 2'x4' grow tent to flower clones in, and placed it in my garage. I have a 6" exhaust (240 CFM in line fan) out of the grow tent, but it just exhausts into the garage space. Like i said, I have no exit to the outdoors to vent the exhaust, it simply vents up above the tent and off to the side, inside my garage. My temps are fine, but I am worried about maybe a lack of co2? I mean, I open the garage at least 2x per day (going to work, then coming home) so the garage does get fresh air, but with a few plants in there, will they suffocate with just ambient circulation? The garage is not air tight by any means, and of course I frequently open the door into the house when going into my garage :)

Anyone think I have a problem with ventilation here? Thanks in advance, I appreciate any help and/or advice or experience with similar situations.

Hey Raizer and Nug I went with:
[h=1]Bluelab Combo pH-EC-TDS Meter
[222031]
[/h] $199.90

They didn't stock the Guardian at my local store that I made price match and this one should do nicely :)
 
Hey wondering if ya could help me out a little bit more. My last question had to do with humidity and now that I have gotten that under controlled I'm tackling the temp problems. My set up..
is a two tent (4x8) with two 600s in each tent. I'm using cool tubes with bat wings attached to them, that I purchased from htg. with the two lights going at 50 % in the one tent and the other lights completely off no intake fan on the temps were 110 when i got there today!!! I don't have the inline fans hooked up yet since I'm messing with wiring at the moment but I will be finished with that tomorow.
So after all the ranting I guess my question is gonna be... how the hell am I gonna cool this. My exhaust setup was gonna be a 450 cfm inline pulling through a carbon filter and through both lights exhausted outside Im not sure how much this will help with the temps, I'm guessing quite alot but I think I'm going to have to buy an ac unit. The room that the tents are in is about 300 sq ft at the most. So what size ac should I buy and do you think i should have a separate exhaust fan hooked up to my lights then the filter? Sorry about all the questions also and thanks ahead of time!!!

also, ran that sunshine #4 at pH 5.9 for a week. that was a FAIL. saw major lockout on a few leaves. in the process of pushing her back to 6.3 - 6.6. gonna try and bump her a little higher and see what that does to the slight issues i've been seeing. also running more N with the nutes.

i really enjoyed Phil and his contribution here. I didn't always agree with him but always had nice dialog. Too bad. I didn't even know they did that here.

i can understand deleting an offensive post, but c'mon a ban is a bit harsh. Especially since there are few differences between us that can't be solved when we;re medicated.

had nothing to do with dirty underwear. trust me. politics and jealousy. just saying that. check the facts. he just helped a guy who got raided and lost a bunch of his shit. got him a free ballast, nutes, additives, and can fan. all free. from his distributor. guy posted a thread thanking him. just saying thanks. admin erased it in within an hour. it waas in the toke and talk section. come on man. tell me that's not personal jealousy right there.

I just scored some Advanced SM #4. I was hoping to run it around 6.0 along with my Botanicare Coco, for a little side by side testing. The Advanced SM is buffered with Dolomite Lime. Is the reg #4 not buffered?

Hi all, I'm new to the conversation but just finished using the sunshine mix #4. It works great for clones but I had the same lock out issues in flower. It does have dolomite in the mix but not enough to counter the peat in it breaking down. I started adding 2 tbsp/gal of dolomite when I transfered in to it and sometimes mixed in another on top 6-8 weeks in. That was for an eleven week strain though. I've just gone back to a localish mix called red wizard and am comparing the two. I have room design questions but I'm headed to work soon. Basically I'm looking for ideas on a room inside my garage. I'm thinking around 6x6 with a 4x4 flood table in the middle. 9 5 gallon pots and a 1000w over it. I already have a 2x4 tent for get and a clone cabinet. This is the first room I've built on my own so I'm looking for input.

It didn't get deleted. Just locked. So there is no way to bump it up. And as fast as t&t moves it will be 100 pages back by the end of the weekend.

i don't know about regular sunshine. i've only ever used advanced #4. try out 6.3 first cause i just pushed mine down to 5.9 and got a ton of lockout. everyone else i have talked to is saying 6.3 is where it needs to be.

Well, when you talk about yourself like this, it is very entertaining! Since phillipchristian is another account of yours, and you are talking about your account, it really makes you look, oh I don't know, how about "pathetic."

so far you have closed or claimed i have about 16 accounts. the list of names is mind boggling. you've closed threads claiming i was the person who started them. you've threatened me...posted nasty messages to me...and basically proven you don't know anything about growing...so you must just like starting smear campaigns. way to go buddy. PM's are flying about how shitty you run this site. even MODS are talking shit about you.
