So I'm waiting on the rest of my goodies to show up, I've been plotting out expanding my grow a lot lately and came up with this.

So far I've picked up
Apollo 5 x 10' grow tent
I have 2 600w digital ballasts
Both MH and HPS bulbs (Hortilux)
2 air cooled hoods 6"
20lb co2 tank and Titan regulator
Timers
440 and 240cfm fans
ducting
Fan speed controllers
Ecoplus 1/10hp chiller
DWC bucket parts

There may be more I'm forgetting, but in a nut shell I'll be running 4 DWC buckets, and a 6 site Aero/NFT system I built (Stinkbud's) Hell I'll probably have plants in coco too. I'll be hanging my 2 600 watters up, and my little 400w Apollo LED in the middle. Co2 will be tucked off in the corner, I'll have a 9" high velocity fan moving air around, dehumidifier if needed. I'll be using 7 day timers to setup my Co2 until I can get a Titan controller, on for 10 minutes every 6 hours, kicking the exhaust fans on for 30 minutes before the Co2 starts again. Temps I'm not sure on yet, but with a chiller and Co2 I'm sure I'll be ok.

Depending on how well this works, I'll be doing a much bigger tent soon. (10x10) going to have to do some research on lighting for a space that large.

I'll post pics of everything once it's here, and how I'm setting it all up. I'd like opinions if there may be something else I could add/do to make it better. This will be a full grow, clone to flower same tent, I can't wait to see how everything goes!

So most of everything is here, I'm waiting for my Fan speed controllers, and booster fan. I still have to go get a few things, changed my mind and am adding a Titan Saturn 5, this way I can put my lights on the Hydrofarm timers.

Got everything setup, except I'm not using the Co2 for the time being... Other reasons pending with it, anyhow. I don't have my bubble buckets done yet, minor parts error on tubing size. With the little duct fan running on med/high, and the 440cfm fan running just into high on my controllers the tent only hit 82 over 10 hours sealed up. Not bad honestly, now If I switch the duct fan off, I'd expect 85-87, still not all bad. A chiller and some Ice box's may be in order, well bigger chiller.

DWC Buckets are finally assembled, small mix up in tubing/fitting size. I think 4, under the 1 600w is near perfect, lines run out the bottom vent hole to an 18 gallon rubbermaid tote.20150519_180406[1].jpg
