New Grow w/Co2 Addition

[denverdolomte]

So I am in the process of putting in a new setup in my grow tent....would like some opinions or experiences.

Current Tent ::
600W HPS w/reflector hood
2 oscillating fans
4x4x8ft tent

**Had issues with heat, mold, humidity, and air flow.

New Tent ::
1000W HPS w/cool tube
2 Drop down LED lights
4 small oscillating fans
Co2 regulator w/tubes running into the back of the fans to mist plants
Humidifier and DeHumidifier
A/C unit - summer in CO is super hot and dry
15 to 20 gal pots instead of the 5 gal
Carbon air filter intake system

Misc. ::
Hygrometer, pH Testing, better power strip and better timers.

I plan on running my lights at night to regulate temps better in the summer months. As well I am planning on a two plant SCROG this time around, using Purple Urkle and Apple Pie strains from clones.

Been reading up on using Co2 and how to regulate it / get the best use out of it, but would be thankful to hear any of your personal experience using this system and the turnouts. Or if you have any other tricks that may be used. Thanks ahead.

Use of a co2 controller is recommended. If your venting you need an environmental controller as well so you can disable co2 enrichment when exhaust fan is running. If using a tank you want a fuzzy logic controller.

From the sounds of things you need to deal with heat with constant exhaust. Tis wont allow for enrichment.

Yeah I am running lights at night, plus going to be adding in an a/c unit next to my exhaust. I was planning on running my fans/co2 while the exhaust was shut off, then turning the exhaust on and basically switching back and forth the entire time.

Would that work? (With the use of an a/c in the tent?)
