1,000 watt Quantum/Secret Jardin DR150 tent

I already posted this up in the Michigan forum already.. But I'm just so excited.. I just had to share this with the rest of the Rollitup forum.. And please forgive me if this isn't the right place to post this...

After months of searching for who has the best prices on the internet.. I finally pulled the trigger today and dropped some dough on grow equipment..
I picked up;

1. Secret Jardin DR150 5x5x7 tent

2. 1000 watt Digital Quantum Dimmable Ballast.. 6" Sunlight Cool Reflector & 1 GE or Sylvania Bulb

3.Phresh Filter 6x16 400 CFM
C.A.P. Valueline 6" Fan
C.A.P. Fan Speed Controller

4. 2 sets rope ratchets

5.Ecoplus Hygrometer

6.Ph up/Ph down

7.Ph test kit

8.Titans controls-Apollo 6 24 hour analog timer

9. Suncourt 4" inline duct fan 80CFM for the bottom air intake..

10.6" hose clamps/6"x25" ducting

11. Roots organic nutes sample pack

I thought I was set on using ROOTS Organic soil & nutes.. But in all reality that's not completely 100% Organic.. !! So I've been looking up TLO by The Rev for my 1st grow.. Or a mix that doesn't require any nutes or teas.. This will be my 1st grow.. But I have been studying growing for well over 5 yrs now & feel I'm ready to grow my own medicine.. Its kinda like goin to college for 4 yrs doin nothin but book work.. When ya graduate then ya gotta apply what ya learned.. That's where I'm at..

Looks good but an intake fan is not needed with a tent. The exhaust fan will pull air in from the bottom and blow it out the top.

I agree. I have a 550cfm for my dr120 and when its on low setting 430 cfm it sucks the walls in tight(good sight to see if you want negative pressure) which you do. I get like 7 air changes a minute in my tent.

A fan your size you shouldn't need intake.

If you wanna go organic look up subcools super soil in the organics section. Dude has put some serious thought and work into perfecting his formula.I think he uses roots organic soil. You're also going to want yellow sticky traps for those fungus gnats you're going to be seeing in organic soils.

I have a 160CMF 4" exhaust, and a 4" inductor fan rated for 80CFM as an intake too man, works well. Probably not needed, but it moves the air in the bottom of the tent around a bit more.
