very nice!best of luck and have a bountiful harvest
Ok so finally got part of the tent set up. right now we just have the 400 in there with no plants. going to run it for a day and see how hot it gets. we have a fan sucking in cold air. the duct is just kind of funneling the hot air from the light out (until we get an inline fan). might not need it at first since the tent area is so big so we will see.
also, put 2 plants in 3 gallons now. doing the rest tonight. the casey jones are exploding under the LED!! growing so fast! il have more pics up later!
please give some suggestions!!
check out the CASEY!!

Just log in through google chrome to see the pics as i have had the same problem so i just go in to google chrome and then in to the forums.

ok havent posted for a while. been really busy setting up my new tent...
here is an update:
so i ran the whole system in the tent last night with the MH going and fan. checked it after 2 hours and it was 81 degrees in the tent with 37% hum. i figure it will be a LITTLE cooler in the tent when i run the HPS because i believe the wave lengths are longer on a HPS.
tonight i have about 25 gdp clones to transplant into 1 gallon soil. i also have to finish transplanting the 6 bigger gdp into 3 gal (have 2 done). i think im going to keep the two casey jones in the one gal for a bit longer and veg them at my house still. also, me and my roomate are going to move the 6 gdp to our tent tonight! FINALLY! they have been vegging for close to 10 weeks. they are prob 2-2.5 feet tall already and some arent even in 3 gal yet. we are going to start budding them tonight. begining with 36 hours of darkness and then going to 12/12.
so thats my plan when i get off work. have a lot to do.we are very excited to finally start budding them. il try to get some pics up shortly.

nice set up mate... another way to reduce your temps might be to locate the ballast outside the tent

thanks! yea thats probably a better idea. im going to do that. wont look as sketchy either haha
ok so we got a bunch of the GDP clones in pots now. they were getting lighter cuz we didnt have room for any of them in soil until yesterday. they look a bit nutrient deprived but they will bounce back. il have pics of the budding gdp in a few days. they are in 36 hours of darkness right now
the two tall ones are the Casey Jones

here is a pic of our most recent set up in the tent
That extractor fan should be sucking air at the roof where the hottest air is but you need to have ducting fixed to both ends of the extractor fan so if it leads into another room or attick put the fan in the other room or attick and just have the ducting sucking from the roof like so.

oh ok i see what ur saying. makes complete sense. imma try to relocate it. or just might get another fan.
thanks for the tip!
That fan is fine just get it mounted on or above the roof if you can and lose the filter at the suction end as its less efficient at drawing air from the grow room. With a filter on the intake side you are reducing the air suction from the fan but if you are exhausting outdoors or to another room you can fit a filter but i have no filters on my fan's ducting ends.
Just ducting at both ends giving it maximum exhaust and intake air flow.
If you aint worried about the smell throw the filters away as they are not smell proof anyway.

thats not a filter at the end. its just a 6 to 4 inch connector. so dont have anything on the end where the fan is? just leave it open?
GROWFAQ.
How do I install a duct fan to operate most efficiently?
(principles of effective ventilation).
Many growers own fans powerful enough to move air of a city block in Manhattan, but has failed to install it properly, causing greater pressure reduction. This extra pressure drop is called the system effect or system dissipation, and can cause the fan to produce a smaller volume of air than indicated in the fan diagram.
The following factors must be considered in order to avoid system dissipation:
At the Inlet.
The distance to the nearest wall must be more than 0.75 the inlet's diameter.
The inlet duct's cross section must not be greater than 112% or less than 92% of the fan inlet.
The inlet duct's length must be at least 1 x the duct diameter.
The inlet duct must no have any obstacles to the air flow (dampers, branching or similar).
At the outlet.
The angle at the reduction of the duct cross-section must be less than 15 degrees
The angle at the enlargement of the duct cross-section must be less than 7 degrees
A straight length of at least 3x duct diameter is required after a duct fan.
Avoid 90 degree bends (use 45 degree)
Bends must be shaped so that they follow the air stream after the fan.
If the connections are different from this, there could be a greater pressure reduction.
Circular duct fans for example, are propulsive, pushing the air. And should be installed so that the long duct is after the fan itself.

thanks great info. appreciate it! i need to figure out how i would hang it that high in the tent. the walls are not strong obviously and that fan isnt exactly lite.
I mounted mine in the attic with metal coat hangers so it can move a little as its suspended from the roof with metal coat hangers and cable ties and fix it no problem and it does not have to be bolted still to any wood as the sound will travel through the house hence having it free hanging and fans should be mounted on rubber mounts or hanging free to reduce vibration and noise.
oh i know my expectations are low. im just hope for some decent smokable stuff. id rather have an oz of decent stuff then a half pound of swag haha
