hey blondie how much was the carbon filter setup? im really close to starting a grow. im looking for a 5' tall tent hopefully going 4x4 on the base. Just need an estimate on the carbon filter, & inline fan. probably gonna go with passive intake too. any tips would be a big help!
blondie is cool if you were talking to me, or jaimee works too. Carbon Filter and fan together was like $190 delivered. Got it from HTG on ebay. I have the 6" variety.

Hey Jaimee is your tent up and running? What type of light you using? I have the same tent coming but I'm worried I'll have heat issues running my 1000watt in it. IDK how I'll set it up yet but I'd like to use one fan and have a passive intake. I still need a filter too. Hmmm...

Well I've decided to go down the tent route as, in all honesty, I haven't got the DIY skills or the patience to build a cabinet.
Are the secret jardins the best? And has anyone used the secret jardin twin grow tent? I figure I'll need a clone area at some point so might as well get the all in one :-)
ps: brilliant thread, sub'd

lol, how big are your pots? I think the record for most plants in my 5x5 has been 16, and there was no wiggle room. That was also a SoG.

Realistically, most people won't want to be hassled with more than 10-12 plants per 5x5. It's not a whole lot of fun moving every plant just to get to the ones in the far corners.

I am running a 600 watt dimable HPS/Metal with 6" air cool hood. I talked with the guy that sells these tents and he says 400, 600, 1000 is all good just vent it properly. I pull air thru the carbon filter, thru the hood and then out of the tent, I leave a vent in the bottom of the tent open so when you draw the air out of the tent it does not "suck in" and try to collapse as if you were sucking in on a paper bag. You need a vent open!

Right on that's good to hear! And I'm deffinatly going to give it good ventilation. I'll leave a vent on the bottom open aswell. That's what I meant by passive intake. I'm just hoping I won't have to put a fan on it. Sweet got my tent yesterday too so I'll blow it up as soon as my clones root.
