yo


ok i know this is auto section and we are talking about build but i grow autos

over all goal get somewhere near the top yeild of the strain

ok light
HID........hps and mh which one is good light for top yeild (with out replacing ) or should i ....the price and results i am seeing jusified this choice over t5s and leds
600watt digital dimmable system in a 4x4 (good one secert jardin) tent with 400cfm fan ...........at this point smell is not a issue so no scrubber

here is part 2
should i run the cooltube pulling the tent air ....or run it using ouside air and have the inner vented using a 240 cfm fan (the tent is 108 cf rule of thumb i was given u want the whole tent to have the air cycled every 5 mins )

part 3
given they are auto flowers and i can keep them in the same tent for the whole thing do i want to keep the light dimmed at 50 75% the whole way or should i move it to maxium lummens for the last bit thicker buds in theory
 
bigger fan on a dimmer so if the temps get high you can turn it up or down when they start to lower
i would get multiple smaller lights and just turn the whole unit off
supossedly the dimmers shorten bulb life in the end
ive actually been tossing around the cool tube for a couple of years ive seen them in action they are amazing
but the thought of it makes me uneasy im away from home for long periods of time sometimes 12-16 hours and the thought of a fan going out or something along those line just spooked me out of it
but thats just me

i work from home so there is no need for me to do much other then get food and supplies (movies and all that old time fun stuff just cost to much in the does not justify the money) and i have a back up person here if i do leave for a party or something like that ( i just would rather not have them touch anything inside so worst comes to worst i can take the full weight in the court of law) can not pull a print off a zipper atleast not mine now but the rest is anouther story

well one of the store ppl answered a ? for a guy about 1000 watt system in the same tent they said to go for a 300 or 400 one so i figured mine is 600watt so that 400 cfm should be massive overkill if i notice a heat issuse inside (aye i got dimmers for the fans they do not work on booster fans for your notes)

well if i could grow 2 plants near there maximum yeild the light dying out 4 months ahead of normal is justified ...........i figure i do 12 plants a year maximum yeilds and i am done i have what i need for smoke parties and the years of bills with 2000 spare..........my area a good oz of sommething unless u know the person 400 to 600 ..............i do it for 300 to 7 ppl i know and trust
 
yes sir

and infact that is where and want i got extactly but mine was the double set for a few cheaper

the booster fan it will just not work and then work no way of controlling it with one of those ......only way i can think of controlling it was with one of those temp senor sockets kicks on if the air is to hot goes off once cooled down
 
the booster fans kinda suck i would use a real inline to cool your hood
there just really dont move that much and are crazy loud
 
Grats man and good luck with the grow. I like the amount of research you did before pulling the trigger, good man!
