Cooling problems! Solved?

We bought a 12000btu AC unit today.

I think that should help cool down the room!!
It'll be delivered Thursday. We only have a few more days before the clones are ready!!!

We're also re-arranging the fans and ducting to be more efficient. Might even go so far as to completely move the 600w & floros mothers/clones tent to a completely different room. Shame, we have a pretty sweet floor plan, but the extra space opens other possibilities as well. We'll see, a decision has to be made SOON.

On a surprise, a gift, a clearance sale, and a stroke of luck, brought a CO2 regulator and controller into the
fray today!!!!!!!

This brings a whole new element to the grow. Picking up a 50lb tank tomorrow.




RECAP of setup so far

The CO2 rich environment will be kept at 1500ppm @ 80degrees with the newly aquired AC unit and CO2 regulator and controller.

I'm getting PLENTY of light between 2 air cooled hoods with 1000w hortilux HPS bulbs for flowering after 1 week of veg under 2 1000w hortilux MH bulbs.

My areo chamber drains, no DWC/bubble hybrid tub, the roots will be misted 24/7 and suspended in the open light proof chamber. 3 air stones will be pumping fresh air into the root chamber.

I cant quite wrap my head around the nutrient program my collective partner set up, but its a combination of about 20 large jugs of botincare and general hydroponic products. So think tailored extensive nutrient program.

The is reservoir itself is supplied by a RO filtration system.

The reservoir itself will be aerated by a 396gph submersible pump.



Soooooo......I know the flood tables running a SOG will produce a decent amount, but what about my 6 site aeroponic grow?

I think I'm going with grape ape and bubba kush.


GUESSES ON YIELD??
I want some people with growing exp, to tell me what they think I'll get on my first grow with this setup!

Screen of green, or just let 'em grow!???

    just chipping in where i have a little bit of knowledge ..

    letting the plants grow with proper topping and some training will produce bigger, fatter colas on most strains.
    a scrog will yeild smaller colas but you should get overall increased harvest weight. also a scrog is great for the vertically challenged grow area, and for getting the most out of your state allowed plant limit. one plant can be scrogged into an entire sea of green. one downside of this is it takes more attention, at times on a daily or better basis. if you're not close to your grow area, won't be there daily, etc, don't scrog.
