System
So with that said waiting for everything to arrive and will be setting up sometime this new year and will be setting up a journal. Was thinking of running a drip system or just hand water drain to waste. My idea was to set the 4x4 tray on the 40 gal botanicare rez. plumb it for drain and have the runoff drain into the rez under the tray. going to have a pump setup in the rez and pump runoff out when needed. If i go drip setup, will be using the 66 gal rez on outside of tent and pump water to pvc manifold with 1/4 drip tubing and let it drain to waste into rez under tray.
Either gonna run 3 gal air pots with gold label cocos/perlite mix or rock wool not sure, any input???
Setup
going to be setting tent up in spare bedroom with the portable ac setup, keeping the room at 70 degrees. Went over kill with the fans but wanted something big enough in case i had a heat emergency and for expansion in the future. will be using a 5 amp variac controller per maxfan. Running one 8"max fan to idividually cool the raptor, into a phresh duct silencer and out of room. another 8" maxfan pulling through phresh filter and out tent and out of room. which should be pulling 70 degree air into tent. With hopes this will keep me in that sweet spot.
Not sure as to how many plants but was thinking of running 4 possibly 5. Have been looking at hso blue dream or possibly wos nl x bigbud. with training and a 2 screens was hopeing for some nice 3.5, 4 ft bushes. Not to concerned about height as the tent is extendable.
Have more to say but am very tired from work, any input welcome and cant wait to get it up and running. Feel free to educate me as i am always learning new things and have much more to learn. Thanks
. So i would plug my exhaust fan or ac into the cooling input. heater in the heat input, and a humidifier or dehu in the humidity input. there is also a co2 control function but its more of a timed thing vs. digital ppm control which the big brother sentinel chhc-4 has. all in all there identical other than diff in co2 control. As i am not running co2 theres no need to spend 2 times more to run co2.
