    Heat problem inevitable?

    Have fun with that... I'm doing a 31"x31"x65" with an air cooled 400w. I have 300+cfm fan for exhaust and a 200 something cfm fan for intake. My temps run at 77-80* with 68* ambient. Yours will probably run in the close to 100* with the same setup unless you vent outside. Oh, and you do...

    Homebox xxl grow tent anyone use?

    I run a homebox S with a 400w light in a cooltube. I have a 4" S&P fan for intake and a 6" S&P fan for exhaust + a carbon filter. Temps run around 78* with 68* ambient temps. It would be best to have Carbon scrubber > fan > light > exit tent

    Cool Tube and Fan

    I got the same cool tube for a lot cheaper at mdhydro. I wish I hadn't though... The air cooled reflectors have much better light distribution.

    Water = killer?

    You're wrong and have terrible spelling and grammar. I use a around a shot of H2O2 per gallon.

    feeding clones

    I start feeding when I see the first signs of deficiencies. Start out small, then gradually increase the amount of nutes.

    Why is this Posssible

    1 ft is way too far from the plants for CFLs. BackDoorMan: Heat is what you DON'T want. Temps around 70* are ideal.

    600w HPS overkill?

    I got my 400w lumatek with cooltube, bulb, hangers, and cords for $300 from mdhydro. I think the 600w is only 20 bucks more or something like that.

    400w hps Is it enough...

    Get more light. 400/ (4x5) = 20wpsf General rule of thumb is a minimum of 50wpsf

    What Nutes do you use?!

    I'm using GH floranova and am going to switch to advanced nutes next. GH is saltier from what I've heard.

    1 or 4 plants per square ft? Sea of Green

    Flower after clones take root: 4/sqft This will result in budsicles. If you veg for a few weeks: 1/sqft

    Who here started out using hydro from the start.

    I did. Hempy buckets though. I might try E&F next. I just don't like soil. Hempy buckets are the best of both words (at least to me).

    Homebox S

    lumatek ballast, cooltube, ducting: mdhydro foothills carbon filter: ebay 6" and 4" s&p fans (intake, exhaust): hvacquick I recommend you always keep the passive intake flaps closed and only use active intake as it's not light proof.

    Best fan for total stealth grow (my first post)

    Acoustic fans... link? I have an S&P 6" for exhaust and it's great. I plan on purchasing a 4" for my intake, too. hvacquick.com has the best prices that I've found.

    HPS in rubbermaid growbox

    It won't work. 2" passive intakes? Maybe for CFLs.

    6hrs light,12 hours dark

    I remember reading that a plant receiving 10/14 produces significantly less THC than 12/12. I imagine 6/18 would be a terrible lighting condition for the plant.

    Will I have temperature problems with 600w?

    I've been planning this SOG grow for quite a while now and want the biggest, tightest buds possible. I'm wondering if I'll have temp problems or if a 400w would be more suitable. The 400w would give ~59wpsf and the 600w would give ~88wpsf. At what point are the benefits of more wpsf diminished...
