ok...but if heat does become an issue...try cool tubes, then add room a.c. if it is still too high. i use both plus a 496cfm centrif that empties out my room twice during each four minute run every hour during lights on.
hope yours goes perfect...if not then give these options a try.

good luck

Thank for the good info man.

So I got my grow tent in the mail today and i already set it up then i got 2 bounty paper towls and a ziplock baggie prep'd then I started geminating 4 of my Snowryder seeds.

Pics.

Sweet man. Whats you plan on ventilation? How many plants you plant to do at once?
I got my lights from HTG but i bought a separate hood cause the one they sent sucked. Send me some of your AK seeds

i foud auto flowering plants aren't very potent because there a ruderallis strain like hemp they grow wild in some places but tell me what you think when there done

Have you tried AK47 or Diesel? Diesel is supposed of 17%-20% thc content.

To what smalltowndill posted, Most of these autoflowering strains have a litle bit higher THC% than some of the really really popular strains im not 100% sure why but its pretty freakin badass.

Dangreen what im thinking about doing for ventilation is im either going to get 4 inch or 6 inch Flexible ducting tube and put it on the whit line square side that you can see in my picture and run the tube straight outside. Ill also have either a 4 inch or 6 inch inline fan to exhuast straight out side plus ill have another fan for moving air around. What do you think? I Still need to order my 400Watt HPS with a extra 400w metal halide bulb. Ill most likely just do 4 plants at once

Pay for the extra cost and get a cool tube with that light will be worth it.

Yea just remember keep your intake and exhaust on different sides of tent. And i would probably put the intake closer to the bottom and the exhaust closer to the top cause heat rises. You gonna be ok with odor control? Might wanna look into carbon coal filter fan sets on ebay you can get a small one for like $70 with fan, then just get a intake fan. Is you room cooled already? (the one with the tent in it...)


Also those seeds germinate really fast so might wanna order that light soon lol.

Whats a cooltube again does HTG have any.

Its a Air Cool able reflector to keep the bulb cool and keep the room cooler. You basically hook you exhausting fan through it to suck out hot air and replace cool air. So go to the 400watts systems and at the bottom its add +47 for the cool tube reflector.Link

Thats a badass light setup im going to buy that one with the cool tube reflector soon when i can. Thanks Dangreen, what size is the the hole on that cool tube and how would you hook it up?

I am pretty sure the cool tube is 4inch outlets on both ends. Have duct lines ran off each side exiting the tent and have a 4 inch inline fan pushing the air outside. Or there are other options you will have to decide what way to do it is best for you.
