Hey guys, so I've been growing for about 2 years now. I started with soil in a 3x3 tent with a 600w hps.. everything was cheap.. but it worked. I dabbled into hydro a little bit with a drip system when I started up a small veg tent. I love it. I'm now expanding my flower room to a 4x8 tent with 2 1kw lights and a 12 site oxygen pot system.
Obviously I'm making a huge upgrade. but I have a couple questions before I decide to pull the trigger on a new setup.
The new setup will be
Solis-Tek 1000w Ballasts
Gorilla 4x8
Radiant 6" Hoods
Yield Lab Oxygen Pot 12 site
(2) 6" inline fans and (2) duct boosters
My questions are
(This setup will be in an unfinished part of a basement.)
1.) Is this sufficient to keep the lights cooled properly? (The lights will have a dedicated inline fan venting the air directly from the room with a duct booster fan between the 2 hoods.)
2.) Is a chiller 100% necessary for my 55g reservoir?
3.) If AC is required, will a Portable 8000BTU be efficient enough to cool things down? (I've read mixed reviews about portables so i'd like to hear about this.)
I have a pretty decent budget for this. So any tips or knowledge is appreciated. I've never ran anything as big as this will be and I don't want to mess this up. Thanks guys!
