Get a 6" inline fan to vent into the attic. You could possibly go with a smaller fan, but it may not be enough and you'll be extreemely disappointed with the results if you cook everything. Don't forget to get a carbon filter. You MUST vent to the attic! That will force fresh cool air to be...

I hear you about doing it once! I felt the same way. Unfortunelately that usually leads to buying more than you need... but oh well. Venting out the dryer duct is perfect. Just make SURE the exhaust filter is adequate and set up correctly. I recommend a Can-66, it will last you 3-4 years...

Newwb you need more hydroton. You should put enough hydroto in the bucket to completely cover the rockwool. You should also raise the buckets by 1 or 2 inches. I use upside down pot saucers. I use these...

All you NEED is a 6" .... but get a 8" instead. You won't be sorry. Hook the fan up to a temperature sensitive speed controller like this one: http://aeroponicsnmore.com/climate-control-ventilation-c-23_5/temp-2v-fan-speed-control-variable-idle-setpoint-p-181 Then you can run the system at...

Like mentioned above: 10.5 amps! That's not a small number at all so you should be aware that you'll need a seperate 110v circuit dedicated just to the AC. You don't want to overload things or cause untimely blackouts. I like that unit because it has 2 very important features: 1...

I've used both. Yes, it's louder ... but you can use insullated ducting and excessive gorilla tape to completely quiet the bitch no problem. I have 3 or 4 Valuline in use now, and they've been going for over a year. One of them crapped out on me a couple weeks ago. It started to make a LOT...

Carbon filter on intake AND exhaust? Forget the intake filter and the intake fan. Open holes at the bottom and everything you suck out the top will be equally and naturally replaced by fresh air coming in through the bottom. The first question I have is where are you exhausting to? 1000w or even...

He's not hurting me at all. But since the title of this thread is: OPINIONS OF MY NEW DESIGN....? He didn't say he only wanted affirmation of how great his drawings are. He asked for opinions and he's getting them. I don't think anyone is being too mean, but 1800 posts in the last 4 months...

Hard to read your writing but I'll try to help. Yes, the "Controller" controlls both pumps. The pump in the res should be plugged into the FILL plug. The pump inside the controller should be plugged into the DRAIN plug. The water will only drain from the buckets to the lowest point of the...

Harsh but true. How do you get 1800 posts without knowing a few basics. 18" vertical just isn't enough space. That isn't even enough height for the plant material, so you can forget about trivial items like pots, lights, fans, and ANY clearance room. Trying to stuff more than two plants in...

Way NOT enough room dude. You're better off starting with 1 plant (maybe 2 if you're not using fem). This is decent starter setup for vegging a couple small plants. You better use dwarf autos, like suggested above. Check my video below. My plants (8 of them) vegged for 3 weeks and that...

I've been around ;) Still growing! My work went through a phase where they were watching internet activity, so I had to lay low. I missed you guys though ;)

Cool, I've run several cycles since I started this journal. My whole system is pretty "seasoned" now. Mostly, it's worked out great. I've had to disassemble and reassemble the whole thing twice now (landlord wanted to visit), but I'm getting pretty good at it. I'm currently at week 7 of my...

Hello fellow Tent lovers. I run 3 Growlab 4½' x 9' tents. One is an open-loop system in my one-car garage. The other two are closed-loop systems (with Co2) in my buddy's 3-car garage. I run 2k in each tent, with the ebb and grow pot system (upgraded to 3gal pots). I've gotten 6-8 cycles out...

Watch my video, you'll see I prefer 2 x 1000 for my 4x8 tent. (It's actually 4¾' x 9' ... but they call it a 4x8 for some reason.) I run dimmable ballasts, so I could drop to 750w x2 if I wanted. 8 plants Rockin!!!!!

With hydro, you only need 3 or 4 days of flushing (not 2 weeks like dirt). I use FloraKleen for flushing. No nutes, just clean water and FloraKleen (GH) for 3 days, then 1 day of NO WATER. Then cut the lights off and start chopping when the lights should be comming on. Also, I like to cut...

My castle has a moat with aligators in it. You need to pimp-your-castle! Getting a new filter and fan... goes without saying.

1 plant. Top it once during veg... Veg it to about half the final size you want to end up with.... Then top it again 7 days into flower. You'll get a good sized plant that will fill your room without suffocating. I suggest adding a trellace net during the first month of flower. That will...

You should put the filter inside the tent. Then duct to the light, then the fan can be in the attic or somewhere else. Running the filter on the outboard line will severely reduce it's lifespan and efficiency...

I do keep my ventillation fan on 24/7. It's hooked to a speed controller that idles way back when it gets cold, but never off. Two reasons: humididty and smell. I have a seperate fan hooked up to the lights, and they DO go off when the lights go off...
