Hey
Ok so I'm doing some planning and at the moment I am considering the following setup, would it need cooltubes, would cooltubes increace yield by allowing me to place the lights closer to the plants?
Tent 240cm x 120cm x 200cm (That's 8 feet x 4 feet x 6.5 feet)
Two 600w HPS lights
I planned on using one powerful outlet fan connected to a carbon filter on the top outlet, and two slightly smaller inlet fans at the bottom. I live in a place with a cold climate.
Also, I planned on putting 32 plants in this space which would be about 1 square foot per plant, vegging for just a month then flowering. I also planned on chosing a narrow strain that has a fat main cola and cutting off the lower branches (because they anyway don't get a lot of light) which ould also aid airflow.
With this setup I would hope to get 40-50 grams per plant (about 1.3 - 1.6 ounces)
Is this too optimistic? I have a bit of growing experience and have spent extreme amounts of time reading about growing. I'd be growing in Soil, buying high quality feminized seeds from a reputable seed bank, using a generous amount of light for the space, using good nutrients, checking PH levels often, have plenty of airflow, etc.
For some reason I am a firm believer in more smaller plants than fewer larger plants. I just think that plants get to a stage where they produce a certain amount of bud, and increasing the veg time is no where near the proportions of just growing more plants more often. Am I wrong?
Finally, if I need to use cooltubes could I use one fan for both tubes? And can I connect it the following way: Carbonfilter (placed inside tent) -> Fan -> Cooltube 1 -> Ducting -> Cooltube 2 -> Ducting -> Outside the tent
Thanks in advance for any help and advice, much appreciated!
