I think that uploaded photos used in posts can't be deleted because it would delete the photo from the post...or something like that.

D"- your going to need a coolable hood and a very nice fan blowing through it to control heat. also going to need another fan to bring in air from the window. its always good to have intake and exhaust. the temp that your room gets where the tent will be is more important than the outside temp. HTG does throw in there own upgrades sometimes which is cool. i would get a tent from amazon or ebay though and actually can probably find fans on there as well for a better price than HTG. im pretty sure i got the agromax bulb with mine which is very good IMO.

My girls tolerate high temps fine, but I give them LOTS of air in out fans on them.... the works. I do believe that they grow faster though with temps below 90*F though

Hi D", thanks for stopping by to ask our advise. I would say LG laid it down pretty well. I just looked at the link and I totally agree on getting something to cool it. If you are growing in an interior room it may be cooler than the rest of the house and outside, but as soon as you start an inline fan to cool a 600 you are drawing air into that space from everywhere within your house, so temperatures are probably going to even out. There are ways to make cheap tents, there are also some decent priced tents on ebay as well. And I know my bru Jig in the US always Craiglists his stuff. But hey, depends on your overall budget. Please feel free to ask an advise. Peace, DST

bassman999 · Jun 23, 2011

I agree with DST, I also bought at least half my stuff from Craigslist.
I bought a 4x4 tray
tent
4 lights
and an inline fan all from there.
All you have to do is look at the listings several times a day till you find what you want at the price you can afford.
They even have clones on CL, although I would not shop there for them personally.

alright fellas i really need some help chooseing what to buy. but i no it is gonna be a 600 watt hps ive narrowed it down quite a bit and i believe i am gonna do the htgsupply.com setup. where i can upgrade my setup. this is where i need most of the advice.lately ive been doing plenty of low budget indoor but now i got some money to invest and i want a 600watt hps, digital ballast, but where i live its 100+ degrees F. and i dont run AC to often, but there will b windows close to the tent for ventilation. the set up i am looing at on htgsupply is this link

http://htgsupply.com/Product-Digital-Greenhouse-600-watt-HPS-Grow-Light.asp

it starts at 199.95 and can impove all the ay to like 400$ but im trying to keep it semi cheap concidering i still need a tent

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Complete system includes:[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]600 watt Digital Electronic High Output Remote Ballast [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]MaxWing Reflector [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]HTGSupply 600 watt HPS High Output Horticultural bulb [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Socket / Cord Set [/FONT]

(199.95$)
i can upgrade to better bulb, and reflector.

i definetly would like a better bulb if it is worth the upgrade
and i want a reflector that is good for controlling heat.

also i am looking over the reflctors that have the glass over it.
i would think this helps control heat.
this seems good for my position

so please any advice im a first time 600'er

ive been doing outdoor n 150watt so im a 600 noob

any helpful facts advice or jus links on anyof the above

thank u all very much
i would like to be up in the club shortly wit some help haha

if heat is you issue i would upgrade to a Cool Tube and a 450cfm Vortex (MADE IN CANADA :leaf:

)
600watters put out ALOT of heat, compared to a 150.
using the above fan we cool 2 600w reflectors, and exaust a 5x5' secret jardin.
if you consider downsizing to an ecoplus 350cfm know that it will run LOUDER then a Vortex 450. this comes from experience :roll:

. another thing i would recommend is a Fan Speed Controller to adjust the fan if it snows or something :-P

600watters ROCK!!!!
PS if you cant find what you need at HTG i use Greners.com

D'' · Jun 23, 2011

thanks alot everyone. i will definetly look for a cheaper source for the tent and fans. does the cool tube reflector not reflect down as good as one of the more square reflectors? if that makes sense.

i am goin to attemp to post my options if some are too lazy to look at the link haha
does anyoine have preference or word on differences of the following reflectors
or jus differential facts

.aa { color: #666666; } .aa:HOVER { color: #7ac427; } Select the Reflector:
Maxwing Reflector ($0.00) Euro Reflector ($35.00) CoolTube 6" Reflector ($35.00) Mini SunSoaker Reflector ($38.00) QuadRay Reflector ($38.00) Supernova Reflector ($38.00) EasyCool 6 Reflector ($48.00)

thanks everyone

lthopkins · Jun 23, 2011

i also run a vortex fan with controller in a 4x4x8 tent to such air from bottom of tent and light with a 4 inch fan blowing air in
right now

lthopkins · Jun 23, 2011

o and the vortex is quiet my 4 inch is louder than the vortex 6 inch

bassman999 · Jun 23, 2011

I have to get a controller, my 8" hydrofarm active air is noisy

I use passive air intake. My fan is so powerful in that small 4x4 tent that the sides are sucked in really bad with all the went open...lol

shnkrmn · Jun 23, 2011

25 day cheese in the middle, 14 day cheese to the left (you can't really see it) and Chronic at 7 weeks on the right. Still have high humidity problems but the new 14,000 btu portable air conditioner I"m getting tomorrow should help that out. Damn it's been a wet spring.

i would get the easycool 6 or the euro 6"...i dont really like the built in reflector on those cool tubes, i prefer a clear tube with a wing.
also to the people who have alot of negative pressure i recommend using any empty port for passive intake, just stick i few feet of ducting in it for light-proofing.

shnkrmn · Jun 23, 2011

I have easycool 6" reflectors. they are very well designed and functional. I cool three (edit: lights, lol) with a Vortex 6" fan quite effectively.

D'' · Jun 23, 2011

Alright so everyone been real helpful

thanks to littlegrower i jus saved about 50bucks i think
check out this grow tent below.

would this be pretty perfect for that 600watt i want.
this tent seems as perfect as all the other expensve ones

Heads Up · Jun 23, 2011

D, if you're going with htg supply, look at the aero cool? hoods. I have easy cool 6's but they still throw out a lot of heat, the aero flows or whatever they are called work great to reduce your temps.

OK guys, here's my morning glory after eight weeks of flower, she still looks like she is going to need two more weeks. This baby is fourteen inches tall and eighteen inches wide. I'm hoping to pull two ounces dry from her...and yes DST, this is a realistic goal. This plant looks real leafy but it isn't, it's just that all the branches are so close together. A couple of these pics show the underside of the plant. This baby is nothing but bud and real solid bud to boot.

lthopkins · Jun 23, 2011

where r u located d ,,, i might sell my tent building a vedge flower and mom/clone room in my sheds so might not be using it

lol all my empty 8" ports are open already. I am gonna open the passive flaps on the bottom too. I am using the tent to dry right now so it doesnt matter much to me right now. Neg pressure means no smell leaks in the house.

I have heard the white vinyl/plastic interior ones are bad for plants and can release gasses or something. I cannot verify this personally though.

What tent do you have?
