There getting drip fed twice aday for 15mins
I havent got a intake fan but have got a hole thats pulling air in from the room with the window open the exhaust fan is 6" with same size filter put my rvk in a box and filled it with expanding foam to quiet it down and it works its not silent but is alot quieter
The exhaust goes out through a vent in the wall

I think 10" will be to big it might cause the tent to suck in from the negative pressure especially since you haven't go any intake. . I think a 8" would be enough though for 2 lights .You could use the 6" as you in if you get the 10" or 8" for the out.

You getting a bigger filter too or you reducing it down to fit your 6" filter..?

Going to stick with the 6" as the 10" is way too big and there's not enough room to move around in the tent so im leaving it as it is
With the 6" extraction fan and the 1 600w
Last night I changed the bulb from mh to hps and going to flip them when I get home change timers change the nutes
Hopefully have some nice buds soon
This is my first hydro so im still learning

if you want to still use the 10" you can just leave it out side the tent if you have long enough ducting , and you can reduce it down from a 10"-6" with 2 reducers for about £30 . i've put standard light dimmer switches on them before but they dont work best with the box fan fans,you could also get a fan speed controller for about £180 which is why i went with the £5.99 dimmer switch . If you do run the box fan hang it from some bungess too as it takes out the vibration.

Ive now took a light out and temps are 26 and humidity is 52 so its alot better with the 2 lights it was getting close to 29 and 62
It gets cold in there when lights of it gets to 20-21 so going to have to put the heating on when the lights go off
The next grow I do il defo want the 2 lights on so will have to sort it out before I start the next 1 thinking of doing a haze for my next 1
Or might do half cheese half haze not sure on mixing the 2 strains though will have to do some research first
But back to this grow there looking healthy although 1 plant doesnt seem to have grown much not sure why 5 of them are great and the other 6 are reasonable could be better but im sure theyll come along in a few weeks

Those temps aint the worst i've seen 29 isn't ideal but its doable ..with a few tweeks im sure you could get it down to about 27% which is fine. Even if you can switch i off say every 6hrs it'll be better than having the one light especially into flower as those cheese girls are going to fill out so you'll do better with 2 . I wouldn't bother putting a heating in unless it drops by more than 15.c, 20 from 29 is o.k you would expect/want a 10. drop when lights off ..


Doing more than one strain in the same system isn't the best cause of the different heights, food needs and finishing times.. It can be done though just best to do similar or the same .. my rooms a perfect example ..but head room is not an issue for me.. i'd expect the hazes to grow taller and take longer to finish than the cheese depending on which cuts seeds your working with.
