Using only a 150, then I would say u could keep it comfortable by using fans. should not be a prob, unless the surrounding room the closet is in get really hot. Then u may need to draw some fresh air in from like a window and exhaust the hot air. but them small amount of light generally shouldnt...

Ok so I have been able to clear half of my flowering area, and start to finish up the Vert build. Hopefully by the time the rest of my current grow is done all my babies will be ready to go into this system. Here are a few current pics to get yas started. Here ull c the tubes mounted to the...

I will be running the rez outside of the grow area to control temps better, and it gives me more grow space, gonna use a 55 gallon black trash can for the rez. I intend to set it up w/ an auto top off valve (but I am in the process of installing a new water line first) so all I’ll have...

To make it easier for cleaning and mait. I have decided instead of just wrapping the flex around, I would make joints at each level, this may come in handy when I try to do this perpetually, that way I can remove one row @ a time instead of the entire system. I am using a 4" coupler that...

The thermal wrap I will b using for my tubes is called "Reflectix Insulation" and can be bought at the hardware store. I got mine at Lowels. I really like this stuff it gives the tubes the insulation they need because the tubes r black, and will absorb any of the heat from the room and just...

I will be taking my time w/ this build, because my flower area is in use atm and has a few weeks left still, so be patient, I will keep yas updated.......

attach the flex 2 the frame….. This will be all in thermal reflective wrap once I am done....

The frame is surprisingly real sturdy, I even thought of perhaps putting wheels on it so I can roll it out of the grow tent for mait, and cleaning.But for now I am just gonna roll w/ it and get this going, there will be time to tweek the setup once I have my first grow in it under my belt...

Now the problem I found when using flex is it won’t hold shape..... So I built a ¾” pvc frame to attach it to. Once attached the flex pipe stays in place and can now support the weight of the plants and nutes. Here is a picture of the frame and the pvc I used when I built the frame, It was...

I could not find cheap materials to work with. I love Heath Robinson’s flood tubes (don’t we all) and if you haven’t seen it I suggest u check him out the dude know his shit (mucho respect, Heath). Now with that said the cost of all the pvc elbows is crazy high around here...

I would like to point out that I have been getting good harvest every 4 weeks using an aero setup designed by Stink Bud perpetually grown. So I am really excited to c how the yield of the vert measure up against my aero. Here r a few pics of the area that will be used in this experiment...

This is my very first vertical grow attempt, so it will be more of an experiment for me. I will be using two 1k HPS vertically hung in cool tubes, 650 cfm vortex exhausting the lights. 300 cfm can fan combo carbon filter to exchange the internal air of the grow tent which measures 8x8x8...

I have done extensive research, and have found 0 reference to what it is I would like to try. So in an attempt to experiment on my very first vertical., I will be doing this journal, and updating it throughout the grow. Hopefully this may help someone else in the future, and since this will...

Hello every one and thanks for stopin by. I originaly had begun this thread on another forum, however due to low traffic and feedback I am coming back to RIU to post it here as well. I hope to get some feed back so I can use it to improve this system.....This will be updated as I go and is in...

First off, I have seeking advice in other forums to no avail. I hope I can get sum help in here. now with that said let move on... I have an 8x8x8 area for flower chamber, two 1k HPS in cool tubes, and one 400 watt MH hung vertical no hood. 600 Cfm vortex, and a 3'tall x 32"diam carbon...

Yea, people tend to get wat they pay for. If ur tryin to stay under the radar, then DO NOT skimp on ur carbon scrubber, I to used a diy, and was less than pleased although I am sure it did better than nothing at all, the whole place still stank! In my opinion towards carbon scrubbers (I am sure...

Yea I was worried about that at first, but I did a test run and all seems well. The MH is only 400 watt though, and it actually hangs lower than the pic makes it seem, so its not right on the tent top

Well fuk it. Ive gonn w/ this 4 now

Yes I concur, U r over analyzing things man!
