Final stages of setup need help

mutefruit · Jan 29, 2009

I will post pics when its set up.... My questions are thoughts on running Co2 I have a 6x6x6 tent and I was going to seal it and use Co2 any thoughts. also I will be using something I have never used before " Hygrozyme" any thoughts? I have a 55 gallon drum for a reservoir in a ebb and grow system I am scared to use it when I read about it seems like its for soil I am going to try it advice?

I am so impressed with this site I would like to share my grow story with you all when my hoods come in and see hwat you all think. I have invested about $3,000 US on the system and I am pretty hppy with it I am done just waiting on the final items to come in.

Help please?

Hey Mute, let me know if I can help. The thread you posted on was my first grow, but I've got big dreams... lol.

CO2, hmmm... My thoughts, get it! I think CO2 was the element I was lacking to have made this a better grow. I'm sure somebody has already posted how they have sealed their 6x6x6 tent, you just gotta find it.

Aren't they fairly airtight? I have aboslutely no experience with the tents, nor have I seen one, but I understand the concept.

If you are starting from scratch and are just brainstorming, try a roll of Gaffers tap (cloth tape), a hot glue gun, some velcro and a tarp. If you take the time I bet you could build a nice condom?

Maybe get a roll of packaging plastic wrap (wrapping boxes on a pallet) and wrap it up in a cocoon, then use an xacto to slit the opening?

here is an idea of what I am doing right now setup will be complete in a few weeks just waiting on stuff to ship....

I am very jealous. Very...

I would imagine you could easily keep the co2 ppm's just where you need em in an enclosure like that.

"Cool tube" style of lighting appears to be the best application. Draw the air thru ducting, not from the grow area and i'd imagine they'd be happy. Be sure to get some sort of alarm/sensor for living area, anything in a tank can be dangerous.

If only I had a larger garage.

Damn. Nice set up. I haven't started growing yet, so I can't really offer much advise, but I'll be watching you.

nice set up .. nice plants.. make sure the tent is sealed up when you run your co2.. that way your generator wont have to work very hard at all..

nice.. i grow in between your two systems.. i need a fuckin camera.. anyway i use 2.5 gallon buckets(look like minature 5 gallons) filled with rock on a 4.8 flood table.. but i have my tables down on the floor on a flat cynderblock hooked up to a control res and a 55 gallon blue res... did you go with the ebb and grow for a larger yield?? good luck if so you should get it... nice budzzzzzzzzzzz

Yeah I went ebb and grow for monster plants. and also its a badass system I have tried many different ways and so far ebb and grow is my fav.. ill post new pics of this mystery strain.... in 1 week of flowering they have grown 6 to 8 inches no BS Im afraid they are going to grow ninto the light before I get my hoods i guess I need to start tieing them down...

air cooled hoods? that helps aot.. cool to the touch... like u, i had my table above my res. i had to change that shit and put the table about 5 inches from the floor..huge difference.. i like ebb and flow but im parcial to drip tubes with these buckets..
i noticed in the pic in your tent them bitches are tall and healthy. what week flowering are they??them are going to get big
