Hey there guys,
I'm currently approaching the end of my first grow... I'm really looking forward to getting this one all finished and starting a fresh as my cuurrent grow has been a bit slap dash lol. I'm using cfl's but would really like to upgrade to HID lighting. I have a 600w hps but just cant use it as of the temps. For my next grow in looking to get a dimable ballast and a cool tube.
my current tent is 80x80 x 160cm.. Its all I have room for. Do you guys reccomend a 400 or 600 hps for this size space with 4 plants? I currently have 400 watts of cfl and 4 plants... So I think 4 plants is about right unless I go for 2 plants and super crop them a sgrog net for an even canopie.
anyways... The reason I'm thinking of needing a new tent is because the tent in already using gas 2 inlets at opposite sides very low level and 1 exhausts vent at the top.
I am wanting to run mu ducting from out side the tent... Through my cool tube and out the other... If I was to do this using my bottom inlets then I would be using up my both holes.. Therfore no hole for air intake into tent.
I was thinking I could maybe useone of the bottom inlets to run to the cool tube ant taking it out of the exaust hole.. But then I have no exaust for the tent lol. Id it possible to create new holes in the tent as ideally I could do with two holes, one opisot the other about 3/4 the way up the tent so my ducting runs basically strait through the cool tube and I can lower it to suit my plant hights... It would also keep the 6" ducting frob taking up valuble space lower down.
hopefully you are still following what I'm trying to explain lol.
I also have some other questions to ask about joining exaust outlets so it runs on one fan.
I'm gonna draw some simple diagrams quickly now as a picture paints a thousand words lol.
once iv uploaded diagrams maybe I could get some input on fan size and best way to run it all.
thanks in advance for any input.
peace
