Hello I have been doing a lot of research and want to set up a nice grow tent. Here is what I want to get:

• Appolo 4x4 grow tent
• 600w hps light
• 6'' inline fan
• carbon scrubber
• temp/humidity monitor
• fan speed aduster
• ducting

questions I have:

1. do I need anything else?
2. How should I sent up the ventilation system?
3. should I run exhaust system on a humidity/temp control? is that possible? Or just run 24/7?
4. is all the equipment I picked out compatible?
5. Could you please provide some journals or links of a model 4x4 600w hps grow tent set up please? I am in college and have spent a lot of time researching on this yet I don't have time to find the best journals, if you know of any please let me know.

I think this is a good idea for a good vent set up.
pull via the carbon filter via the light via the fan and out my window.

what do you think? Would I have good control over temps with setting my vent system up like that?

got no responses so I went with my gut feeling and ordered this I will post pictures once I get it all set up - on a new thread and will post the link here. Thanks

1. You will need a fan to increase the air movement inside the tent.I would use a contactor with the plug socket timer and some thermal fuse to make you sleep better.
2. Carbon filter>ducting>reflector>ducti ng>vent>ducting>window(optimal ly)/room.
3. You could,but you can run it 24/7 just fine.
4. I would take a little bit bigger carbon filter.
5. Cant think of any set up journals at this moment sorry.

The link you provided,with the vent set up will work without any problems just add some fan inside the tent and youre good to go.

Hi A Jones thank you for the reply, I wasn't sure by what you meant by " a contactor with the plug socket timer and some thermal fuse" I haven't heard of that before.

I already ordered the carbon filter - I am okay with it not blocking all of the smell my neighbors know I grow and are cool about it. I got a fan aduster so I am thinking about turing hte fan down at night.

Thanks for the help!

Got it all set up - made sure to add a fan inside.
I am averaging out at 76degrees f and 45%rh. It dips below to like 43 and up to 50. Want to keep it above 45 but I have optimal temps so I kept everything the same and put a bowl of water in the room and that helped bump it up a percent or two.

Thanks for the help - I'm going to post some pictures soon. I had some pretty girls outside so I gave them a neem bath a few times and brought them in - they don't seem too happy but it hasn't even been 24 hours so they are probably just adjusting. They had small buds on them - like just a few pistils so I topped, defoliated, and prunned and put them under the mh for a 18/6 cycle. So far so good with the temps and rh. I will take some pictures and hopefully the more experienced can gauge where I am at to take an appropriate course of action.

here's the tent:

the girls - not as perky as I'd like:

I would highly recommend getting some co2 in your tent. I run co2 in all my rooms and would never run without it. you can get a good setup for your size on amazon for like $115 5lb Co2 Tank
Co2 Regulator
