my new grow tent

need a lil help or idea's on runnning the duct and carbon filter...any one out dere dat can help hit me up^^^

What size DR is that? I have a 150W (roughly 6.5'x4.5'x2.5') I keep the filter outside of the tent as space is limited with two Daystars a flood table and a reservoir. Just stick the duct in the top vent and lead it to the fan that is attached to the filter, or you could set the fan on the ceiling of the tent (outside) and duct to the filter. This is assuming your not cooling the lights with the fan/filter setup.

i am trying to figure out all tat styff i have a fan in the dark room runnning an the temp stays rouns 81- 83 no higher then that for right nw...and it's the dr120....can you show me pics of urs??

let me see urs when your done so i can kinda get the idea...

Alright these pictures should give you an idea. You can see I have air-cooled reflectors, but the air-cooling is also my odor control. I may have to use a second fan this summer but it works fine now. I keep the velcro mesh openings fully open to allow greater air flow. I had an ebb and flow system but my plants got to big and
were suffering from heat stress so I'll be hand watering for the last month.

nice nice, thanks man you gave me the exact idea i need to run what i need thanks

wat wattage lights are those you thing things are nice man....

Air cooling for your lights and your exhaust system should be totally separate...

more importantly what kind of lights are you running?

and that guy said ^^^ they need to be separate, not true at all.

i am runnnin a 400 wat m/h right now bout to install another 400 watt m/h

what if i dont have the cool tubes??? i can still do it with out all that right???? i mean i aint no rookie but i want this to be the one ya know what i mean??? check out my gallery... ive harvested sum banger with out all the stuff i need but i want this grow to be th ish...

i am runnning a 400 watt m/h right now thinking bout hooking up another 400 m/h

I've got 2 600W HPS's. Once the weather starts to change I'll run separate cooling and exhaust, but it isn't an issue right now. Another light may create a need for cooling tubes or enclosed reflectors. Check this out, my recent problem with space and heat mostly just space colas were 2" away from glass.

I am just quoting from the PROs...

Do what you want, after all it is your grow... but if you research and talk to some experienced growers... you will see that I am right...

Plenty of people do the wrong thing everyday, thinking they are correct...

What happens when your temperature has reached the "cool point" and your exhaust needs to shut off??? do you also shut off the ventilation to your cool tube? what happens then to the plants that are so close to the light because of that ventilation???

Sounds like a nightmare to me....

keeping them together is inviting the possibility of temperature fluctuations beyond what you want...

I want a good stable environment for my grow, and keeping it separate is the easiest way to achieve that...

But then again, I see people driving with flat tires or out of gas all the time.. so...

go with what you know....

Best of luck to us all...

Isnt 2 600 watt hps too much light for a 2 ft. x 4 ft. area? I may be wrong but isnt ther such a thing as too much light?

The sun will provide up to 3000 watts per m^3, when rays strike normal to the earth's surface. I imagine there is a limit for light but I'm not at it(4.5'x2.5'). Also I would guess that before harm is done to plants watts/electricity would just be wasted, that the photon receptors would be unable to use the solar energy available. The first part is fact the second my best guess.
