Ok, so I'm trying to set up a grow room under the house. My friend is a builder and I'm wanting to build a shed under the house purposely to put a 1200 x 2400 inside.
If I explain a bit about what kind of set up I'm aiming for and what parts I'm planning on getting then some people might be able to tell me if they think I'm making any mistakes or could be doing things better.
Ok here goes,
So my thinking was that I will have 8 plants in 6 gallon smart pots with growing space of 600 x 600 for each plant. I was thinking of having 4 600w cool tubes directly inline, the cool tubes would be 150mm wide with an adjustable centrifugal fan at 580m3/h. Then for every 2 plants I would have 1 x 600w light centred over the top of them. I'm wondering if 4 x 600's in a 1200 x 2400 is too much as it recommends 2?
I'm planning on doing a grow 6 months from start to finish and mainlining each plant to 8 tops. I'm planning on vegging for 3.5 months flower 2 months then 1-2 weeks to dry and clean up. Basically the land lady does an inspection every 6 months so I have a 6 month period to try to grow some buds.
Materials:
4 x 600w cultiv8 digital, dimmable ballasts and bulbs
150mm centrifugal fan adjustable 580 m3/h
4 x 150mm cool tubes (considering paying a bit more for cool reflectors)
200mm x 500mm mountain air carbon filter (rated at 3000 watts of light)
200mm centrifugal fan adjustable 1224 m3/h
So I plan to have all 4 lights in line running long ways through the middle of the tent. The tent will be inside a shed and the shed will have purposely built holes with grills at both ends so the cool air will be sucked from outside in a straight line and go straight back out the other side of the shed. The carbon filter will be separate and will be hung inside the tent and have the air sucked through it and guided straight out of another purposely built vent hole with grill. I may get a small week 100mm fan to pull cool air into the tent but not sure if it's necessary?
Is there anything else worth considering or some things I could improve on? What are your thoughts on 4 600w lights in this size tent?
