TRM's First Setup. 8-4-12 (Thanks TeSmp)

[quote name='"tharealmclovin"']I have to attach my fan to my screen. I can't think of anything else to attach it to. How tall is te minimum above the bucket I should make it? I am goon to make it adjustable so I can raise it. Just not sure of the minimum height.[/quote]

8-10" leave it out for now.. I have it attached to the tent poles but it's a major fucking pain in the ass..

My strongest suggestion would be to make something it can attach to so it doesn't click when oscillating and stays out of the way..

 

[quote name='"tharealmclovin"']That was my problem. It turns half way then starts clickin and won turn.[/quote]

Trust me you'll have problems the rest of the grow.. I put it on my screen till it got full.. I think the only good way would be to make a PVC pole that runs between two tent poles that it can attach to.. Ive struggled with it the entire grow.

 

K so can you explain your plan? Are you going to keep both buckets in the tent? The extra res might be better outside the tent for lower temps and checking pH/ppm whenever you want to.. I might be wrong though I've never ran anything like this.

 

[quote name='"tharealmclovin"']I could put the res outside. I left enough tubing. I just wanted to make it easier to check everything. This way I dont have to ever really move the plant. After setting everything up, I dont have as much room to move around so my buddy made this system to make it easier.

He based it off the RDWC link I posted[/quote]

Yeah it's a good idea.. Can it be completely drained?? I would personally put it outside the tent.. Glad you went with this as long as it works properly you'll have a easier time maintaining the proper pH/ppm/res temps..

 

[quote name='"tharealmclovin"']Yes I put a Drain hose on the Res so I can drain it all the way. How do you run stuf out of your tent? like plugs. I am goin out of the back vent hole.[/quote]

Ya same here if your talking about electrical..

 

[quote name='"tharealmclovin"']This fan is gonna drive me crazy. The second the tent gets zipped all the way up, it starts clicking.[/quote]

I'm telling you.. You HAVE to rig something up or else it will happen the entire grow.

 

[quote name='"tharealmclovin"']Yeah. thats the only reason i left the Res inside. I'm not sure how to get it outside and still be able to seal it. I will think about it. I dont have much time. Im in my home state now[/quote]

Hmm the lower intake hole?

 

[quote name='"tharealmclovin"']I see that now. LOL. The gears are turning, I will figure something out. I want it blowing straight across, right?? Not at the light or at the plant??

The lower in take may be the perfect height[/quote]

In between the light and plant.. Just over the top..
