High everyone!
I am about 1 1/2 weeks from flower on my first grow indoors. Things are going well except a bit of stretching. Some folks in the newbie room helped with that. So now, I am finalizing the tent design and I need a little guidance. So far I have:
6" Value Line inline fan 440 CFM
8" X 14" Phresh Carbon Filter
3X5X6.5 Sun Hut tent (It says 2X4 on the box but I measured it any way and it really is bigger... Let's see who the children are
600 Watt HPS Lamp
Yield Master II Classic hood
25' 6 inch ducting
20 Clamps
1 set of ratchet hangers
Green pads for CO2 <--- We will get to this
What I want to do is maximize yield over the whole plant. So my thought is to buy a 216 watt T5 lamp (4 X 54) and hang it, facing the plants at the bottom. Then, I'll close the tent off and run ducting to the hood to cool off the lamp, in an attempt to keep the tent cool. I can suck air in from the outdoors easily where my setup is. If I run the lights at night I should be able to keep things cool where I am. It's in the high 50's at night.
I'll run the filter about once an hour for a minute to scrub the air. I should be able to keep a closed room this way and take advantage of CO2. So I didn't buy a tank and regulator because I wanted to test this out. I'm hoping the Green Pads will get me to 1500 PPM. The bags says one sheet can bring a 10X10 room up 1000. So a little tent ought to be great. We'll see.
Please suggest changes, tell me I'm full of shit, or whatever will help me get this done. The wife is being generous so I want to strike while the pan is hot.
Thanks for any help!
