Hey GC, i'm strongly considering buying a grow tent from HGS, specifically the 40' x 40' x 72' as I am not concerned too much about money. I had a nice job last summer so I'm able to afford quite a bit Question: Given the dimensions and the bit of info i gave, would it be tough to fit/install a nice ventilation system within the tent? I will get two 4' High Velocity Inline Fans. What else will I need to install it? Do I need any ducting or anything else I'm unaware of? Im sorry for being so noob, any input would help, thanks Background info: It says it's big enough for both veg and flower. I plan on growing 4 plants, I want this go to in my closet which is roughly triple the size of the grow tent. I will be using 400 watt HPS for flowering, which I am mainly concerned about as it puts out a lot of heat. For ventilation, I really don't want to drill any holes in the closet for ventilation or have anything taking up the space of my closet.
Tents are great they're easy to setup/breakdown, don't have to do much to get them rolling. There are a few things that have to be done to make sure your environment is correct first. 1. You have got to run a vented hood with the inline fan like you said the 4" vortex should do just fine and that 400w will put off some heat. 2. The heat put off from the light should be vented out of the grow space i.e. out of the closet so you should look into it. You can get away with cutting one 4" hole into the ceiling or wall to vent through. It's not hard to do and is an easy fix when your done simply research patching drywall its simple. 3. Your going to want to run passive intakes and also a carbon scrubber on an exhaust fan to control the odor. Like I said tents are the way to go indoors IMO.
Thanks man! So the only thing (other then odor control, which I am not too worried about... my parents okay'd the grow) that would need to be installed outside of the tent for ventilation would be a 4' vortex fan? Would I just cut the hole and attach the fan? Sorry I am not too handy when it comes to this stuff but I need to start growing... Any help would be great I am really trying to fit everything inside of the grow tent
One last thing to ask: If I buy the grow tent from HGS and get the organic soil grow kit, all I'd need is the fans, right? Would any ducting be necessary? Grow kit:
