1 I forgot the recommended w/sq'

2 FVCK AN nutes. Go with another nutes brand please!!! Do some research on the owner of AN

3 a Bruner or tank is the best option. The home made, bagged crap is snake oil unless growing in a very small cab. Ambient co2 ppm are 380-400 depending on location. About all you'll get from a home kit or bag.

4 not quite sure what your asking

If running co2, you must or very high recommend running a sealed room. Then you'll need an ac unit, dehumidifier, and lots of light. And temps between 85-95 max. Then your golder.

CX nutes have done well by me and they are the cleanest I have found to date. The only advanced I use is their ph up and down concentrates.
A 1000 watt hood gives a solid 5 ft by 5ft foot print of light.

Co2 burner hooked up to your gas or propane would be the best rout.

A/C will depend on how many lights and what wattage you use and what co2 system you end up using.

I run 8 1000 watt lights, have a huge dehumidifierKIMG0488 (1).jpg and co2 burner and use a 36000 btu mini split which costs about $2500 you install, and comes fully charged.

An nutes work great. Don't go over half strength with anything. Tanks or Burners are a must. Get it as sealed in there as you can . 1k watts per 5x5 area

Thanks for the info man.. First of ur setup looks pretty tyte.. jiust one plant in i am guessing 12 gallon water.. But how were u able to grow soo many ..just by topping? also nice scrogging skills :)
As for my setup
I am planning to start with two 100 watt light so basically a grow space of 10 by 10.

FOr the Co2. for the first run I am leaning towards
The Green Pad Co2 Generator - 2 packs one for each light on top of the grow space. what do u reckon?

Technaflora looks easy as they provise success starter kit.

Also do u think I shud go for something like orca grow film for making a grow space.

Have u used Terpinator. I am planning to ussing it during peak of flowering for mroe resin and buds? Along with the technaflora kit

As for A/c 1 tonne for two lights and 10 by 10 space? Also do u have any idea how many pants ion average can i grow and manage in 10 by 10 space.. I know its a newbie but just throw in a number?

Much love and respect for sharing the hindsight.

:) Mucho gracias

1 plant per cooler. The scrog method is what makes them grow the way they do. It lays the branches out so more nods get the right amount of light. Each nod thinks it can be the top of the plant so they race towards the light to take the top spot. Working the plants (tying them down) everyday for the first weeks of flower is my favorite part of growing.

Up until we built our grow building we used panda film. Basic white/black plastic to cover our walls. This helps brighten and seal the room, and protect the walls but doesn't really help the plants growth much. We also cover the floor with it, running extra up the walls by a foot or so, encase of over flows or leaks. (after we pulled the carpet up)(can be seen in my profile pic)

A/C needs are based on the number of lights, how you cool your hoods and the size of your room. So one really needs everything that could possibly be in the room and produces any type of heat to figure what size of unit would be needed.

As for your room size and number of plants, again, would need to know everything from the size of containers to the the desired working space to know what would work. At one time we used an 8 x 16 room and ran 5 plants using co2, 5 1000's and a very large dehumidifier and our dry box. It was very cramped but we made it work. (can be seen in my profile pic)

I'd suggest running a couple of plants and see how the temperatures etc work out and you can add to your grow as needed without exceeded your own limitations. Availability of needed power is something else you may have to deal with. I had to rewire a lot to get the power needed when starting off as it takes 1 20 amp fuse to run every 2 1000 watt ballasts.

nice setup man. But I am leaning more towards SOG as I dont have any plant limitations. NFT or Dutch Bucket system I am leaning towards. Also I was wondeing how many gallons of water do u use per plan... And what are the benefits of lets say having 27 galllon per plant and 10 gallon per plant?

Also... do u have ur veg and flowering room seup in he same room or separae a/c n humidifier for each.... What do u hink about using a light rail ?
