GROW TENT

HighonPottery · Jul 8, 2009

if you're lookin' at a tent that's got a 3x3 or 4x4 footprint, the smallest light you'd want is a 600w. i rock a 1kw in a 39"x39" hydrohut. you can find a good amt of tent info here: http://icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=29986

i's a good idea to ALWAYS go overkill on your exhaust fan - you can always slow it down with a controller, but can't get it to move more air than it's capable of. carbon scrubbers, air-cooled hoods, turns in ducting, corrugated ducts, etc; all add up and will tax your fan heavily.

please tell us more. the size of everything, buckets & tent in particular. what are u growing??

Tents are hydrohut mini's 39"x39"x78"( roughly 10square ft). Vortex 449cfm fan in both.

I use I gallon buckets hempy style (basically take a 1 gal bucket, drill a 1/4" hole 2.5 inches from bottom for drainage, fill bottom of bucket with chunky perlite about an inch over the hole and I fill the rest with cocoa) basically what you end up with is passive hydro, because the bottom of bucket acts like a rez. My entire set up works like this.

Bubble cloner and newly rooted clones

then they get moved to veg cab

and then to flower cabs ( each flower cab is offset by a month) so I harvest one cab a month
