Hello Everyone,
I have been lurking and reading for a while now on the forum and i'm getting ready to buy the equipment i need to set up my next Room. I have grown indoors before and have learned a crap load from that experience. I jumped in the first grow with out much experience, and made plenty of mistakes so that i can learn from every one of them. I did a hydro grow the 1st time with a 1000w light in a walk in closet. I live in a different place now that does not have a walk in closet so i'm going with a Growlab 145 this time around. I will be running Co2 this time, and this is where the bulk of my questions surround. My problem is with the Cooling of the tent, and i know this a common problem amongst tent growers. I would like to hear design ideas that i can use to keep the room cool and controled while using the equipment i plan to buy. This time around i will be growing in Coco and pots instead of the hydro ebb & flow pots system i used last time. Here is a list of the items i will be purchasing:
GrowLab 145: 5 x 5 x 7
1000w Quantum Digital Light & Sun Radiant 6" Reflector
CANNA Coco Nutes + Additives
CANNA Coco Medium
2 Oracle 6" Fans
6" Carbon Scrubber
Hydrofarm Portable A/C 12k BTU (have a window unit in the room where tent is also)
2 Oscillating Fans
4 25 Gal Smart Pots
Co2:
Hydrofarm Co2 20 - 50 lb Bottle
Hydrofarm Regulator
Sentinel CHHC-4 Total Climate Controller
I was thinking of air cooling the Light on it own by sucking in air from the outside and just blowing it right out, so it never sucks any air from the room, but the rest has me a bit perplexed. I have some ideas, but alot of you guys have alot of experience and i would like to hear what you think would work best. I know the room has to be sealed for the Co2 to keep a PPM level that is worth using such a system. If i missed any equipment needs please let me know what i might need to add. A dehumdifier might be needed as well, but i heard bad things about them adding unwanted heat to the room. Stealth is a very important factor for my grow, and all this will be done in a bedroom. Your ideas are much appreciated.
Thanks
