I'm not HR... but I'd say no more then 16. Depends on veg and training... if you were doing SCroG u could go as low as 1 plant per light.

That's what I was thinking. You know quite a bit too, so I'll take the advice. That would be 4 per light, or 4 per 4x4 area. IDK. I need to do some brain storming. I think this would be a little easier on me maintenance wise.

Thanks HR. I'd give you rep, but I have to spread it around I guess...

I think my filters just suck ass. I bought those 6" combos from HTG, but I shouldn't be smelling stuff like this. What size can filters would you get for the 8x8?

Yeah I heard bad things about the HTG filters. They were some heavy son of a bitches too. But I guess heavy is good^

I went with a phresh as I heard good things about them. And it was only 26 lbs for the 550 CFM rated one. The similar HTG was like 50. I was hanging it at the time in my tent so I went with a lighter one.

I dont hang mine in the tent just stands upright in a corner! Phresh air , mountain air are the best filter you can buy!
Next down would be eco or can fan filters

All time best is stealth air boxes

I'm going to buy two phresh 550s. That should be enough for an 8x8 tent. I can't believe I'm dealing with this. These HTG filters suck ass. My stuff is WREAKING... The fans seem ok though...

Trust me man. I thought my odor control was on lock down, but apparently not. I have 2 450cfm fans, but the filters must suck ass. I also have an ozone gen. It will be dealt with.

man if you have two 450cfm fans & filters and your still haveing probs...its NOT the filters, their just not set up right. you need to have negtive pressure in the room.

can you show us some pics of the fans/ducting system so we can get a better understanding? i guess if the room has really high RH that will fuck up the fliters.

oh and phresh fliters work great!

I had two 450 cfms in two 3x3 tents and it still stunk like crazy. The filters are garbage. "Look at the specs on the 6" combo on the HTG web site. I just really think the fans are way too big for those filters.

After a bit of research I'm getting the idea they only work for like a year max, maybe even more like 6 months. I think a higher quality filter is in the cards.

You can get up to 2 years out of the phresh filters if you go slightly bigger than you need. More cost effective that way, the 6 and 8 inch (same length) are a diff of only $10 dollars.

I have used all kinds of filters in the past. I ran Phresh for a while, now I use a 'can-lite' because that's what my local store had at the time. I think I'll be switching back to Phresh as I feel like this Can-lite is starting to not work after just 6 months. Phresh filters easily gave me a year.

On most of them I think I got around 1/2oz (when dried). Some of them were runts though, so that will skew the numbers big time. The chronics really needed another week-2, but I can't have the block stinking. I gotta get my odor shit figured out. I think a person could pretty easily get 1lb doing this same setup, or maybe even 1oz with a strain like chronic, and giving it time to plump up.
