It's tax time!!!

Sounds almost identical to my set up before i added a tent \HPS.

What are your plans for your garden? Do you see your self upgrading parts of it in the near future?
Are you in a prohibited state?

Why do you want to go with autos?

 

I think you can get some nice herb with this set up

 

I'm running this one, using it since 12\20\16 and no issues so far.



I just ask about final grow set up because I have upgraded a few times and wish I would have just done it how I wanted the first time.

 

Yeah get a cool tube if it gets hot. Heat issues suck.

 

Mine area is pretty cool as is so a wing isn't an issue.

I have used a 1000w HP's in a 3x4x8 closet and used a enclosed hood with good results in the heat dept.

Just use a good fan and you'll be good.

 

for nutes I'd skip the 3 part and just get the 2 parts of micro and bloom, the grow(green) isn't necessary. Make sure to get some calmag also. I've been using the 'h3ad' formula for coco for years with amazing results...it's a modified lucas formula designed for coco. It's 6ml micro, 9ml bloom, and about 2 ml calmag ph'd at 5.8
I highly recommend this simple formula...I start seedlings and clones at 50% str for the first week or 2 then they get the 100% strength until flush.

 

If heat is or will be an issue, look to led. They are pretty cheap now and result would be 85-100% result as hps. Also can keep it closer so more height room for plants to grow. Less likely to cause a fire vs. hps bulb. Even though anything electronic is a fire hazard to a percent. But I'll take less anytime.

the 6/9 formula will work great all through veg and flower. Later on you can reduce the N in flower and add a bloom booster or w/e if you wanna fuck around, but the basic mix works great too.

 

the nute formula I described above.

 

Never made one myself. The carbon scrubber is expensive but it will last you for years. You can DIY for cheaper and it would work. I have can-lite 6" to fit my 6" exhaust fan. The can-lite is one of the top filter and it cost around $140. If you are handy and have the tools and time, why not.

Spending $140 and will last me 4+ years is well worth the investment to help keep it low key. No smell, no leak, no messing with diy.

Save 140, and do your own and you can easily recharge the carbon and your diy filter can be reuse. Wouldn't look at pretty but functional and save $$$.

Carbon scrubber not needed until you get to flower 12/12 stage week 2+. So you got a lot of time to either save up or get a diy project filter done.

I've built quite a few diy filters. Mostly small ones for my custom boxes...which are made of pencil holders and work great.

I did build a big one once..after I was done I wish I had just bought one. After the price of materials, and tools and work, I didn't save enough money to make it worth my time to build. I recommend just buying one..actually buy a slightly oversized one it will work better and last much longer.
