set up my carbon filter, and raised the lights and put a table, so now its official and te smell is already gone.
when i went to check on the plants and setup everything, i checked my plats and it was 80 degrees and 70% humidity. i didnt know a tent would make that big of a difference

youre not going to want humidity that high during flowering...for veg, its fine, really (to my knowledge), but if your humidity is that high during flowering, you can get bud rot, or mold, or other issues....also, the plants will produce more resin is dryer conditions...throw a dehumidifier in the room when you need to.

Hey everyone.

I grow in a 3 x 1.6 x 5.1 foot tent under a 150 watt HPS with 23 watt supplemental CFL. I have a PC fan blowing on the HPS light to keep temps down. I'm currently using Emily's Garden which is basically a DWC using rockwool, hydroton, and a passive wick system. I use a 170 cfm fan with a 350 cfm Phat Filter for odor control.

This is my first grow. I am growing MarijuanaSeeds.nl's Northern Lights (not fem) and an Afghan (freebie). I'm at 4 full weeks of flower.

Here's a link to my journal https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=195105. I hope to be around to learn and offer advice where I can.

Get the biggest tent you can find with a couple 1000 watts even tho you will be better building one if you want pounds for pounds

1000w lights are really only helpful during flower, and 2x 1kw running on 12/12 isn't really that expensive.

But running a good hydro system with quality nutrients can be money, and it's certainly will take up some serious time.

i meant before i had the carbon filter/inline fan and only had a fan, the humidity was 70% with a 80+ temperature since there was air blowing but had nowhere to go. that was only on the first night with the tent. now that i have my filter set up its back to 75 degrees with 40 % humidity. haha sorry about the misinformation lmfao

Wicked thread!

I'm trying to talk my wife into letting me grow. She would probably freak out if the grow box is taller than her so do you guys think the Homebox XS would be alright or is it going to be too tight?

I guess the brand doesn't have to be Homebox if you guys like something else better. Suggestions welcome. I'm putting together my shopping list.

The homebox xs would be good for a small grow and a 250 watt would be good in it..I use a homebox s i beleive is 2.5x2.5x5 to veg and a growbright tent from htg which is 4x4x7 to flower..I would try to talk her to letting you get the homebox s you can fit a 400 in there perfect

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. Looks like I have my work cut out for me today. She's a tough one LOL

I had my 400 watt from htg for 3 years now and it still kicking just fine..I would get the hps because you can use it thru all stages or geta cmh bulb which is good for veg and flower more full spectrum or you can just use mh conversion bulb which is just like the mh bulb you get to veg and switch out with the hps bulb when you are ready to flower
