Take a Look at my new Grow Tent/setup

i heard you say temps are never higher then 90. they shouldnt hit 85. you need to connect the carbon filter because your temps will be higher with it attached because it reduces air flow. your ducting looks really long as well. you need to limit that as much as possible or think about getting a 8 inch fan because im not sure if 6 inch will be enough for all that ducting/bends. also, your intake is soposted to be twice as big as out take and i would suggest getting a air conditioner in there still. your plants are gonna flower slow with high temps. can you dial down your bulb?

i say the cardboard is fine. i do it with a 400w. as long as the bulb or the light isnt touching its fine.. your using plastic pots i mean if it was hot enough to burn the cardboard it would melt the pots first i imagine.

yea I dunno .. I actualy use books ..
but they are realy fare (+5 feet) from the light and not even getting any light down ther as my pots/plants are larges/high ..

just be carefull a keep a eye on it ..

but look nice and soil look nice .. what kind did you end up useing ? whats in it ? I see perlit .. thats nice ..

What I said is the highest it ever got was 90 for about a hr and it was 110 where I live. On average its usual always between 80 to 85. As summer dies down so will the temps.im runnin low on cash so not going out to buy another 8in fan. I have to work with what I got. Iv been told plenty of times I should be good with what I have anyway.and as soil I believe I have roots organic soil? And for nuets im going to use the organic go box. I went to a htg supply store and someone there who knows what there talking about help me pick out all the right shit n everything that I need. Non of the extra bullshit that I don't need,you knoo

yea I have the same .. a littel bit high temps with my 6" vent....

but its like 84F and summer .. this is the worst it will get ...

I bet winther will be perfect .. so no need to invest so much .. and if it realy do get a hugh problem later on you can do it then ..

its not like plants die of a few degress .. maybe just haverst 7oz insted of 8oz

plants outdoors do realy well way up in the 90ish .. you have to do whit what you got as you said ..and stop at some point .. or you could end up with a 10 acres fild ...

and yea you got the shit .. I belive in organic aswell .. I do how ever mix a bit of coco in it (30%) been toald and read it help drain and keep air to the roots and its hard to over water useing it ..

lets see useing it now on my new girls .. seems to like it so fare...

Ya like I said can't do to much with the weather . Couple months it'll be winter soon and wont have that problem at all. So om hoping for the best!

Q: Did you buy the all-in-one package grow kit? Just curious, thinking bout getting one myself.

Are u talking about nuets?

nahh I think he talk about complete grow kits .. can get some with tent .. lights .. ventilation aso.

I think nuts might be the only thing beside seeds it dont have

p.s.

I was toald that the Kits can be realy good .. but some is realy crapy .. them realy cheap once ..

you get what you pay for .. "cant get gold for the price of plastic"

but if you keep it to one of the major brands and do some research and see what other have to say (reviwes)
you can safe some bucks buying it all at the same time from the same shop .. and a good thing is that it all fit together ..

I say go for it specialy if you dont like to build stuff yourself or have 10 tumps or just lazy ..

but do the research .. and also consider that it sumtimes dont pay of to buy stuff online ..

I found that my local hydro store is`t much more expensiv ..

and you safe shipping .. and get it right away .. can also go back if sumthing is wrong .. and they take time to help you and give you advice ..

and in my store .. if you use enough .. they cut prices or trow extra stuff in for free .. even with out you askin for better prices ..

so I mostly go ther if I can get what I want and it is`t like double the price .. and even if it is I might go ther and tell em and get it for a fair price ..
also like to surport them guys .. small two person shop of nice smokers

Yes, i was talking bout the all-in-one grow kits like ive seen at HTG. Was just curious, seems like a good deal. And no, I dont like building stuff!

then go for it .. just dont go realy cheap as I said .. I read of Ppl. with tent wher light was leaking in evrywher .. specialy zipper .. the poles was weak and couldnt hold ther filter/ventilations aso aso aso .. just bad quality .. and all they did was safe 40 bucks or so compaird to a good model ..

Hey slipon how far do u think should my plants be away from my 600w mh right now during veg?

its a 400W MH right ..

MH light need to be between 5 and 18 inch`s away according to my chart to provide 5000-65000 Lumens ..

I dunno how close you actualy can get em when they get older .. I doubt 5 inch`s even with a cool tube .. 10 might be more like it ..


but I reccon 18-20 inches wile they are babies .. that will give em around 5K lumens ..

maybe just start moveing them up to that now .. slowly "a book" a day untill they are with in 20 inches ..

15 inch`s when they are teens will provide +7K lumens ..

and maybe 10-12 when they are grown a bit .. will provide 12-16K Lumens

Looking good so far although you want your intake to be at the bottom to bring cold air in.

My 600w mh is pushing 75000 linens n later on my 600w hps is pushing 95000 lumens

Those numbers diminish by 10% within the first 24hr

realy ? do a bulb loose so much so fast ?

Ooh well I guess its like with cars .. the HP they tell us we get never reach the weels ..

Subbed like all the guidance and info from more experienced peops wish I could set up something like this I have the means the money and brains lol just no location interested to see how things go and turn out just chopped two males fml although exactly 2 months to get to 3ft tall smelled so good and the stem was sticky from just purple bagseed alas they had balls so I've got 3 more germing ATM lol if I knew more about crossing and breeding they may have been a good choice but oh well gl man and praise to all who know what they are talking about and who have helped!!
