Second grow. Trying to do it right this time.

  • Alright, this post didn't receive much help in the grow room setup forum, so I will try my luck here.

    All right rollitup, I’m planning my first REAL grow. I did my first grow last summer but it was pretty half-assed in my opinion. I did it in a bathroom under a 400w hps with an uncooled hood, just a reflector and a standard hps bulb and ballast. There was not a carbon filter or inline fan, which I plan to use this time around. I was using 2 oscillating fans to cool the room and also had a thermometer that read humidity as well. I was using Fox Farms Ocean Forest and feeding it with the General Organics Go Box and following the schedule that came with it. However, I was not using a pH tester. I somehow managed to get mites and mold in the soil but was able to get rid of both with an organic pesticide and neem oil. This probably happened because I was doing it in a damn bathroom.

    Anyway, this time around I plan on using a 4x8 tent. I was thinking about this one right here -àhttp://www.amazon.com/Reflective-Myl...2470852&sr=8-1 OR this one http://www.amazon.com/Reflective-Myl...472683&sr=1-13 .I know it’s a cheap tent, if anyone could point me in the direction of a better one for a good price that would be awesome. My main concern about my new grow is ventilation and lighting. Like I stated above I want to use a carbon filter along with ducts, cooled hoods and 2 inline fans. I either want to shoot for one 1000w, two 600w, or two 1000w, depending on if I actually get the tent I want, and how hot ya’ll think it will get in there. Another concern about the tent is that I might not be able to accommodate a 7 foot tent, however I can do 6 feet in height. I plan on doing 6 plants in smart pots (still don’t know which size pots I’m going to use yet.). I either plan on using Fox Farm nutes and following that schedule, however I have a friend that has used the Dutch Master line and the Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur line. I want something that will be easy to follow for a first time legitimate grow. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks guys!​

Tent is already coming in the mail as we speak. I chose the second one, it seems to have a lot more features than the first one, and its still cheaper. Juicy pics soon. Any advice would be great guys!
