well sry guys i wanted to upload some pics and stuff but it says i need a security token and to contact admin but i'm using vista and for some reason it wont let some ill try again later
hey man that sounds like a pretty good setup, maybe you can help me with a few questions I have. I am about to buy a grow tent the GROW LAB 145, it's 4 x 4 x 7 and im going to be running 2 NEW WAVE 4ft x 4 bulb T5's and the only thing I am concerned about is the smell. I need a really good duct fan that has no problem pushing air through a carbon filter and at the same time does a good job of cooling the tent. The one thing is I need it to be really quiet or at least not be very noticeable. Do you have any suggestions on the fan and do you know about how much they cost? I was also wondering about how much power in watts/hour your 400cfm fan draws, cause I am going to put it on a timer to turn on every 3-4 minutes so it is not constantly running. Thanks man, hope this is not too much
to be honest bro its a pain in he ass trying to keep this thent cool right now for some reason, to awnser you q's i would say a decent fan will cost you about 120-160$ and as far as takeing care of the sound if you were to mount the fan out side of the tent and biuld a box with sound proofing material inside of it and then put the fan and ducting running threw it it would pretty much not be noticable accept for the vibrations, i actually just built a ducting system froma widow air onditioner to be the intake for my tent. i have been haveing some heat issuses since i just put the 600 hps in and hooked the carbon scrubber up, i hope this helped a lil man keep the q's coming and thanks for stoping by
hey thanks and yeah I bet your having trouble with heat, that's why im sticking to Florescent. I know that HPS is a lot better but I just dont want to pay the electric bill for what I am producing. I dont think heat will be an issue with my lights, since I have used them in small spaces before but I really just need a really good carbon scrubber and fan.. if you hear of any good ones or can find any info on here about them I would appreciate it. Hope you get that heat issue under control before you get ready to harvest, I had that problem in my garage and ended up gettin bud rot real bad... its a real shame to waist something so nice. Thanks for the help man
I was able to post a pic. Always be sure to click on Go Advanced so you will get to the upload feature.
well it wont let me upload the photos that i have already used and i was planning to start with the pics that i took when thruout there live so far but i guess that that isn't happening. so ill start where we are now, just to get you all up to date the plants are about 1 1/2 month old and were all from seed except for the purple kush. all were started in peat pellets. then transplanted to 5x5 inch pots for two weeks then into five gallon pots, i dont think that i am use to foxfarm nutes yet because i have been useing botanicare for a while now and just decided to see what ff had to offer.anyways here are some pics from today. plants are five days away from the 12/12 light switch 1st pic the beans 2nd pic the ladies 3rd pic critical ss 4th pic purple kush 5th pic trainwreck 6th pic diese 7th pic purple kush stalk sry pics are kinda wierd but i had to resize them and its the best i can do any comments or q's would be very appreciated!!!!!
whats up yall, took some pics plants are 8 days after 12/12 light switch and looking happy, finally got the temps down, with the house set at 69 and the airconditioner that i modified to be the intake everything is starting to work out, i got the carbon filter in and i can't wait till these ladies put on some weight!!! 1st and 2nd pic the group 3rd pic critical sensi star 4th pic gh trainwreck 5th pick diesel 6th purple kush any input would be great... thanks
Hey what's up bcgd-bcps just stopping in to check everything out. Everything is looking real nice plants look nice and healthy keep up the great work!
Glad to see you got things up and running bro! and by the way looking very "pro" lol. ill definately be turning in to see how this one turns out! Good luck with the rest of the flowering cycle and if you run into any snags hit me up!
Lookin good man, do you think that 600 is too much for that tent? I got the same tent with a 400 and its a bitch to keep it cool and dry. How do like that purple kush? I was thinking about picking up a couple clones of it. Shit looks good keep it up
gald to see that everyone is enjoying the work,thanks for all the love guys, buddha ill definetly be in touch, and jaysew i would go with a 600 if your house i well ventilated or if your basement has tall cellings, it really is a bitch to keep cool like i said i had to modify a airconditioner to get it down to 73-75, but i put it on a timer to come on a lil befor the light and a little bit after the light goes out and it really is doing the trick. i also had to lose the peice of ducting connected to the light and the out side of the tent. so that their would be air being pulled thru the light and a seperate exuast on the tent. i dont know if that made sense but pretty much i have like 630 cfm being pulled out of the tent. anyways if a 400 is doin the trick then stick with it, good luck on the heat problems bro
