    need help setting up 5x5 tent

    First time with this set up. I have a 2.5x2.5 with a 600w that gets 400g. The strain I have won't go over 78 degrees. My only issue is the darn ac. It is dual hose so it should be neutral pressure in the tent but instead it's negative and wasting all the co2. I think I can lower temps by using...

    need help setting up 5x5 tent

    I have a 5x5x7 tent with 3 600w hps and a 14,000btu ac. according to the 3000btu per hood this should be more than enough. I run lights at night but the temp is still 85 right under lights. I have a 900cfm 8" fan blowing through the 8" air cooled hoods and a co2 tank with sensor. The lights are...

    5x5 tent with no positive or negative pressure

    I re read what you said and I'll end up doing that if no better idea's. The leaking cooler air may cool the tent as well.

    5x5 tent with no positive or negative pressure

    That was my last 2 set ups. It blows air out of the tent then. The dual hose ac advertises no positive or negative pressure because the air blown in the tent is taken from tent and air blown out window is taken from outside.

    5x5 tent with no positive or negative pressure

    The hoods do leak but everything is in the same room so it's leaking in to where it needs to be anyway. Think that could be it?

    5x5 tent with no positive or negative pressure

    I want a sealed room basically. I don't want air going in or out so I use little co2 keeping the ppm's where I want them. The ac has an intake and exhaust both 6". So I have 6" ducting to the zip tie holes in the tent. So it should be sucking garage air in and across the condensor then blow...

    5x5 tent with no positive or negative pressure

    There is 1 intake and 1 exhaust in the whole set up. That is for the dual hose ac.

    5x5 tent with no positive or negative pressure

    Yes I will have co2 in the room but I need to figure out where the air is going since it is sucking the sides in hard or else I'll be exhausting all the co2. Right? Sides are sucking in means air being blown out somewhere? he only exhaust is the hot air out the ac.

    5x5 tent with no positive or negative pressure

    I am trying to create an environment where as little if not no new air is introduced and little to no air pushed out. I have a 5x5 tent. After researching portable ac's I found that dual hose ac's use outside air to cool the until and expells the same air out. There is a second intake on the...

    Hey those plants are fine. Keep the intake on all the time. A stuffy room isn't comfortable for anyone. Promotes mold too. Always keep all fans on 24/7. Except plain hood exhaust fans if you want. As for the drooping.. it is not drooping. Plants move. Their stems are like our arms. When there is...

    Uncle Ben's Gardening Tweeks and Pointers

    Is it possible to do a triple harvest with the third harvest not being all stressed if you have the leaf matter to support further life? My friend lets his go year 'round and around again. He just clips the bud off the plant then eventually it reverts back to veg when the sun says since it's...

    I mean you spend time looking for shoots that are covered by a big leaf or making sure they go the right way. gotta keep up on it while it is growing then not so much after about 3 weeks in flower. Well worth it though because it is all at the same height so all the same size buds.

    bamboo is easier and maybe a little more expensive. trellis takes about 20 minutes a day at first.

    Important thing I do in scrog is make sure each branch will go in the loup next to another loup with a branch. I don't do more than 1 branch per inch but the more uniform you get it the more you will yield.

    400w Grow tent - !st Time .

    Hey am working or else I would post pics again. A good frame and way to attach the frame of the net to the tent is in a threat I started called 2x2x5 w 600w hps or something like that.. it's in my latest started threads. Best part is it only cost $1 from the dollar store. :D As for controlling...

    400w Grow tent - !st Time .

    I used to use string from the ceiling to the branch to hold them up.Or the walls or anywhere. They definitely need to be held up because distance from the light means smaller buds at best case scenario. Worst case is the branch breaks from the weight and topples over on to other plant. In my...

    A mixed color spectrum is great for plants. The added blue promotes resin production. I have always wondered why those kelvin colors are used for flowering when HPS lights give off 4100k and I haven't seen anything actually top hps product. Come very close though.

    They look beautiful. Good idea to flower soon. Remember you will need something to hold them up. I love the scrog method and you can see it in my journal but any way to make sure the branches don't get heavy and pull the plant over.. ripping the root zone and smashing the next pot neighbor. :D

    I like General Hydroponics 3 step using lucas formula (only step 2 and 3) with cal/mag+(iron), silica blast and kool bloom powder. That is very easy to maintain so no ph adjustments, very affordable.It is not organic though. Sea Green from Primordial Solutions is microbes that eat the chemical...

    Help - 6 day old HYDRO seedlings.... r they toast? literally??

    I've heard of people using straight pearlite. It's pretty much the same thing as rockwool just not compressed together. Rockwool has no nutrients or any benefit except to soak up water and be there to hold the plant which is the same as pearlite. They're both glorified sponges. Maybe it is the...
