    Going to get a Jardin tent package, need help with setup please?

    I appreciate all your input so much. I think you are right about leaving the side vents open at night. It will be dark enough. I spent the whole day getting my grow room cleaned out and ready. The tent should be here tomorrow afternoon! I think I will set up a video camera to record myself...

    Let's talk 600w MH and HPS light distances

    Thanks so much for the input everyone, and I understand what you're saying. I can see where every grow would be different because of the condition of the lamp, the strain being grown and the variables in the grow room. What I think I'm hearing, is to always check the temp at the canopy level...

    Let's talk 600w MH and HPS light distances

    I have studied the light distances for these lamps on the web and have not found the same distance recommended twice. The overall range is anywhere from 12" - 18". I don't believe in the hand-under-the-light idea, sorry. I have seen the charts for MH and HPS light distances. The HPS light...

    Going to get a Jardin tent package, need help with setup please?

    PJ, you're right on with budbro18! When they say not to let any stray light in during flower, I think that means none at all -- but I could be wrong. I come from a photography background having my own darkroom. Dark means dark, and maybe that's not necessary when it comes to growing. (I...

    Going to get a Jardin tent package, need help with setup please?

    LOL, that's pretty cool, budbro18! And I figured it out myself, ha ha. I suppose the open flaps will let light in. Do you close them during the dark periods when in flower? A little stray light comes in the room at night from street lamps. I don't want to close off that window because I...

    Going to get a Jardin tent package, need help with setup please?

    My grow medium will be FoxFarm Ocean Forest mixed with LightWarrior, about a 2/1 ratio with LightWarrior being the lesser amount. I started the seeds in rockwool. I plan to transplant the seedlings at about 2 weeks to tall drinking cups, then to 3 gallon bags after that. I'm not sure yet when...

    Going to get a Jardin tent package, need help with setup please?

    I did it! I ordered the 4x4 tent package from greners. I wanted to get good products that will last. Amazon's prices were actually higher on some items, or they didn't carry what I wanted. It should be here next week sometime. That'll give me enough time to get my room ready. I also...

    Going to get a Jardin tent package, need help with setup please?

    Okay, Amazon here I come. I will still get the Jardin tent, though. I've researched the ones on Amazon already. But for fan controllers etc. Amazon does have good prices. Thanks for the info about not needing another tent fan (except for the clip-on) and steering clear of co2 for now. This...

    Going to get a Jardin tent package, need help with setup please?

    Yes, budbro18, I will definitely do some trial runs! Thanks PersonalJesus for the advice about the clip-on fan. Do you think I should get a speed adjuster for the other fan(s) in the tent? I've read that they help control the temp in the tent, and I've certainly found it to be true in my...

    Going to get a Jardin tent package, need help with setup please?

    Hey there, budbro18. I checked out your journals and they are great! The photo of the carbon filter connected to the air cooled lamp was especially helpful. It's cool that you're using the same tent, at least it looks the same. Same size tent and lamp wattage, anyway. It looks like I can...

    Questions on CFL light distance and humidity for seedlings

    April has the seed casing still attached to the leaves, and some of the rockwool is poking up from where she sprouted. I pressed that back down. Should I remove the seed casing? I lowered the light to 3" above the seedling's tops and removed the seedling tray cover. The temp above them now...

    What about the carbon filter exhaust from a tent?

    Thanks for all the replies everyone! I am going to go ahead with my plan to get a tent. I can live with a 'plant' smell. :-) My seedlings are up, day two now!

    Questions on CFL light distance and humidity for seedlings

    Hi guys, My five seedlings are on their 2nd day of growth. My light for now is a CFL 125W Fluorowing Grow Light. The instructions say, "Keep the light approximately 6 to 12 inches off the tops of seedlings and/or vegetation. The closer the light source is to the garden, the higher the...

    What about the carbon filter exhaust from a tent?

    Hi there. Using a tent seems like a good solution for me because of my situation. What I'm wondering though, is what is the quality of the air exhausted from the tent through the carbon filter? It seems to me that the whole room would probably stink anyway. Thin fabric isn't going to keep...
