So I'm about to start my first journey into flowering plants indoors. Just got a 4x8 tent set up last weekend in a garage that will be cooled by a window banger. It stays surprising cool even with it off so it should do well. Got 800cfm fans for intake/exhaust. I'm planning on using 8 of the diy 135 watt kits from HLG. I have 5 of them so far. I wanted to arrange four in a square pattern in each 4x4 area so the middle is overlapped by all. That makes 540 total watts per 4x4 which is 33.75 watts per sq ft. Should be plenty from what I've read about LEDs. Just hope I'm not vegging for too long with only a height of 6'8" in my tent.
I will be using some sort of environment controller and have been looking at this inkbird on Amazon. Will that be ok? I was gonna get 2 and use one for my veg tent as well. Right now it stays pretty close to what I need but I get tired of always checking it. Its hard to keep a temp of 80+ degrees in the veg tent so I keep the window open and shut the door to the room to keep AC out.
I got an air intake filter for the flower room. Will be picking up the charcoal filter soon from a local hydro shop as shipping are insane on those. I think they only carry phat/phresh or something. I'm using 7 gal pots from the hydro shop for flower tent. Will be transplanting from 3 gal in the veg tent. I loved using smart pots outdoors but wanted to try a couple runs with these since they hold up really well. Prob gonna start with 8-10 plants and see how it fits. Using FFOF soil. Might try out some of the humboldt stuff too. Not sure if I'm forgetting anything. I currently use neem oil when I water so i dont get PM started. Ive had problems with it in the past when vegging indoors but i think I got that mostly figured out now.
Bought the General Organics line of stuff but having been using it much at all. This FFOF seems like its too hot. Never had it burn any plants before. Of course I've never used LEDs either. I've used nutes before on plants this large but i dont wanna make it worse. Anyways this isnt a plant prob thread so dont wanna get into too much shit at once.
Anything I'm forgetting?
