my first 400 watt grow

The transplants, the room since it's been emptied of cups..
I dunno, whatever you wanna take pics of.

And btw, i'm just saying fuck it, i'm getting 2 of these

I know a basic inline fan, instead of a simple booster would be MUCH better here, but I just can't afford anything better. And with my heat issues, I can't risk running that 400W HPS without SOME KIND of cooling fans in play. I'll have one as part of the system right next to the light, and 1 at the end of the system near the window, hopefully the primary and secondary fan idea will at least be somewhat effective.

i'll take the pics in a sec. when i used those my ducting was ran like this:fan-hood-duct-fan-duct-exhaust vent. doing that during winter and had heat issues on some days still.

here's the pix i took of the KS#2 transplant the other day, and the closet as it sits right now. i'll pull all the plants on thursday and do good pix of each then.

Beautiful man!
Tell me, hows that air floor workin out for you?

i like it allot so far. i now have better air flow threw my canopy, instead of just a fan blowing over my canopy and airflow from bottom to top. a little more room. don't have to worry about plant growing into wall mounted fan. so i would have to say it is well worth the upgrade

The air floor looks good bro. IMO I think it helps the plants receive more co2 that they normally wouldn't get because they have a constant supply of fresh air hitting the undersides of leaves where co2 is absorbed by the plants. That's just my opinion but it sounds good to me.

Check ya later homey.

Lemme ask Drop, did you INVENT this method, or simply teach it?

some one told him about it a while ago. he posted who he learned it from idk how many post ago.

Ah, I see. I was just curious cause I was most likely going to teach it also. I ran into an employee of walmart the other day when I was buying an air pump (which they were out of). He went to go check the back for it and when he came out empty handed, I told him "It's fine...not like a got a fuckin fish...."
Gets very grinny and says he needs to get one for the same reason. Then proceeds to ask me about 30-40 questions on the topic. Which I promptly answered. I like teaching the basics. Cause once you know a little, it's just inspiration to know more.
I also referred him to RIU.

Well, I ordered my HPS and blower...
I stress over these kinds of things. And research for hours. The last 2 FULL NIGHTS have been spent on this. Yesterday was looking up lights and comparing prices, tonight was looking up fans and comparing prices. Hours and hours spend on each....
I'm a stresser...but, now that it's all handled, it's time for me to relax with a good bowl and let it all melt away!

I was just given the Idea and then I just ran with it. The Idea came when another member and I where discussing different ways to lower the heat in my closet. You see, I didn't have an air cooled hood back then and it got pretty hot in my closet. So at first It was to help remove heat, then I realized it had other advantages as well.

I can't stop ya if you wanna use or even teach it for that matter.

If you do decide to use the idea just drop red or myself a line and let us know what you think.

i try to stick to 1 or 2 venter/hydro shops. makes it easier to keep track of where i got stuff from, and any problems i mite have. now that im a wake and have some coffee and meds in me here's my indoor veg box plants. i didn't take any pix of the outdoor plants their sleeping sorry this post is so long guys.

Nice veg update bro. You never cease to amaze me.

thanks man i try i just keep on trying to learn and better my grow, by mostly screwing up lol. but none the less live and learn

is this to hot while lights are off? lol this is going to be a fun summer heat issues already. 81.7 in my room and 81.0 in the closet.

You got an AC for the summer heat? I know I'd be in trouble if didn't have AC to cool my house during the summer months.

as of right now just 1, but thats for the other end of the house. i dont think i'll be able to use 1 anyways, im close to max amp on my breaker. they wire trailers like retards 1 1/2 rooms per breaker.

You might be able to up your breaker. I switched all mine from 15 to 20 amp. You might want to run that by an electrician though.

i'll have to ask the people at lowes then(yikes lol) if its ok to up a breaker in a trailer from a 15 to a 20. i dont have my old friends number anymore that does that kind of stuff. and their those dumb double 15amp breakers also.

I just put in my 2 ac units today due to the grow temp getting too high, had to change my mush tubs locations and see if I can still run both at the same time.
