Thanks for tbe reply. Keeping things cool was another thing i was thinking of. Thank you.Not a bad price, can you separate the ballast from the lamp. I run my Nanolux 315's with the ballast outside the tent, helps with the heat.
Sure, Good luck on your grow!Thanks for tbe reply. Keeping things cool was another thing i was thinking of. Thank you.
Thanks man. I have 2 sensi seed super skunk just ready to pop. Last grow was critical kush barneys. One more week in the jar and its smoke time! Smells very good. This will be the third grow so its getting better but i still have a lot to learn. I will pop up a picture when the light and the plants are up and running. Happy growing.Sure, Good luck on your grow!
Yea its persnickety. Hates too much water. I found if it doesnt veg enough the roots dont get a chance to establish. They have huge root balls. Minimum 5 gallon pot with some sort of root helper or stimulator. They can fool you in flower too. They stall and look like they wont get bigger. Then you go at them with the scissors and i swear they know it and pop more pistils. Lmao. Its the buzz i love. Heavenly and if u let it go a bit over ripe sleep is never far away. The only other strain i have experienced that is as good is critical mass. But like i said i am learning. Hotrodharley turned me onto grandaddy purple and skunk so i say. Why not give them a try. There are a few phenos of ck that are weird. I had one grow forever. Had to cut it. Also had one that did weird triple branching. I binned it too. But the short bushy ones are the ones to keep. Frosty and compact with a punch out buzz. Just my style.I have tried growing CK a couple of times and had bad luck with both grows.
But may try it again.
First time posting on here. Already read through the entire forum. Great info! Appreciate all of y’all knowledge. I just purchased a sunsysten 315 lec light and I am halfway through flower, in my 3x3x6 grow tent. I have 4 plants (Venom OG, Chemdawg 4, and Dosi-dos) in 2gal fabric pots with a floraflex 6” cube on top to top feed, on top of suacers to catch the runoff water. I have one fan on top and an oscillating fan on the bottom. Currently have a 6” can fan max pro series (420cfm) running as an exhaust. My first question is, would I be okay with connecting my exhaust fan (w/speed reducer) to a duct reducer (6” to 4”), connected to a 4” phresh filter. Either a 4” 150cfm or 4” 200cfm phresh filter. Trying to optimize my space and a 6x16 phresh filter is just too big.
Am I better off with a 6x16 400cfm filter or a smaller 4x8/4x12 150or200cfm filter?
I’ll try to post pics of my garden sometime this week.
No the fan will move too much air potentially for the smaller carbon filter.
But phresh makes an inline filter that can be run after your exhaust vent.
Also can terminate with the carbon filter but obviously no way to vent past it.
What if I were to turn the power to a bit less than 50% on the fan? Running approximately less than 200cfm? Would that work? It shouldn’t be pulling much more than the rated cfm on the filter, correct? Give or take.
I’m sure it’s not exactly 200cfm if the fan is turned down to 50% of its power, but it’ll be close to it. Attached to a 200cfm carbon filter, good chance it should work out right?In theory sure but is 50% really 200cfm?
Granted I would probably try it. It either works or not.
I may try to do it the other way. I have a 4” fan needing a carbon filter soon in a 3x3 I am running on the side. But I have a 6” filter on hand.
Wonder if there is a minimum to work?

I’m sure that combo wouldn’t work that great especially if your 6” carbon filter has a much higher cfm rating than your 4” fan.
That’s my biggest concern. Because I know a 200cfm carbon filter won’t work efficiently if 420cfm is going through it. Was wondering if I were to lower the power of the fan up to 50%, possibly lowering the pulling power of the fan from 420cfm to approximately 200cfm, would the carbon filter still work effectively.Works with the fan turned down low now.
The problem with the filters is when the air moves too fast the carbon does not make contact long enough to eliminate odor.

It’s all good, thank you. Appreciate itSorry I thought I answered that. It should work.
Doh! Its a 315Just got the lec installed. Crap. Its like the sun in there. Lol. Did as advised. Made sure it was squarewave and kept lots of airflow wight between plants and heat of bulb. I st it at 18 inchs above one flowering ck. Its as high as i can get it. Will 18 inches be enough?
Its all new to me so anyone jumping in and giving pointers no matter how simlle would be great. Read all of the forums so i am feeling confident but is am a boob and love gettinng pointers. I even got a humidistat and thermometer. Woooow. Lol.
And rats. No bacon.Doh! Its a 315
