I recently upgraded my setup. Moved out of the closet and into a Secret Jardin DR80 tent. First run with proper ventilation!
So the set up is...
400 watt powerhouse ballast powering a 400 watt CMH philips mastercolor retro hps in a aircooled hydrofarm valubrite 1 hood.
air is pulled through a dutchbreeze DFS2 carbon filter, through the reflector hood, by a 4" fantech FX4XL (~150cfm), and pushed out of the tent where it passes through an elf carbon filter sitting on the top of the tent. The intakes at the bottom are fitted with 2 4" duct 90 deg elbows filtered by some filter material from home depot (cut your own size, filters dust mites, mold, etc...).
the tent is 2'8" X 2'8" X 5'3". I must say after reading about all the pinhole issues with tents, I was surprised to not find any on this tent. Overall, much more robust and quality than I was expecting.
I am flowering 6 girls in there right now.
They had been vegging for about 7 weeks under ~260 watts of mixed specturm cfls in 1 gallon pots.
The medium mix is 50% FFOF, 40% Canna Coco, 10% perlite. This is my first run using coco, and I am VERY impressed. So much that the next run is 100% Canna Coco.
In veg, the nutrients were FF Grow Big and Big bloom, with a little Rhizotonic and Hygrozyme occasionally. Since moving to flowering in the DR80, I have decided to give Rez's Recipe (mad props!) a solid try. So for the past two weeks I have been using GH flora micro and bloom every other watering.
The girls are in 2 gallon pots now watered every other day, fed every other watering. I use tap water with a ph of ~7.6. I use GH ph down to put me in the 6.3 range.
So far the improvement of environment, addition of coco, and the nutrient regime change have had terrific results! This has been the best grow for me so far and I am loving it!
Here are some pics of the set up at Day 12 of flowering...
6 plants - Chemdog D, Tangerine Kush, Pre 98 Bubba Kush, Arjans Haze #1, Burkel, and Sourhog. all legit med clones.
