If your planning on using 1/2" tubing for your feed and returns that pump is WAY too big. 1000gph is going to need at least 2" pvc lines. If it was me and your just trying to mess around with rdwc start by using a water farm air column for your recirc. Doing it this way will give almost no...

never enough light

The 3rd conductor on a 240v is usually only used in a critical gfci circuit. The plug on a 240v ballast is 3 prongs. 2 hot and neutral/ground.

The 3rd shielded conductor is completely unnecessary. So is the size. 14/2 is plenty for 2 600 watt 240v ballasts. Amps is amps regardless of voltage. But in this scenario I would suggest the op hire someone to do this seeing he has very limited knowledge in electrical and is asking for serious...

you are referring to geothermal with backup electric heat diabolical. No, heat pumps are not mini splits. Mini splits are mini splits, they are available in cooling only and heat/cool. Heats pumps are A/c compressors that are capable of running in reverse. Please stop spreading wrong...

Are you going to enclose said area? If you leave it open you are wasting light. Buy a tent. Are you growing more plants for variety or are they all the same? The price of a good light mover is almost as much as a ballast upgrade.

If you are talking about a conventional split heat pump system you better plan on spending at least double what you think for sheet metal work, hvac tools to install heat pump properly, paying someone to design a balanced supply and return system. If you don't know how build a balanced duct...

You missed a couple. LEP and LEC. LEC trumps t5 and even led in terms of par per watt based off a 3x3 footprint. The heat is easily controllable since they are only 315 watts.

How high is your ceiling? is the room itself 10x10 or is that the raw room size? running 4 600 watt lights will give you a more even footprint in terms of usable space.

Yield is a direct result of your limiting factor. Once you step into the HID light range most of the time lighting is not your limiting factor. Always remember our measurement of yield should always be grams per watt of light used. With the technology we have available to us today going 1 gram...

Imo trim off all the lower garbage around the second week of flower. Training/shaping will net you way better results than adding a couple CFL bulbs.

Gotta watch the limit of the controller also. I know the blue lab one has a gallon limit to how much it can control also.

I am a little confused by what you are asking. You are trying to exhaust a room that has 2 tents in it correct? If you are you would want to actually suck air from both tents using a y with dampers to balance the suction between both tents and put the scrubber after the hole in the wall. If...

Btw. Wood is a terrible sound insulator. More like an amplifier. That's why they use them for speaker cabinets.

Look at the hyper fans. Turned all the way down I can't even hear my 10" ones running.
