600W is over kill for that size tent. when running 250w, expect 3 mason jars of good dried harvest. as for noise, invest in a quiet 4' FAN with speed controller. if you stick with 600w, consider the energy useage for so little return when a 250w and scrog will give you the same or more.

I placed some insulation material I had laying around on the hood. My grow area temp dropped approximate 2 degrees on a 6" hood with a 6" fan inline.

For years I used a custom cabinet I made. I moved and purchased a 2x4 tent and I couldn't be happier. Easy to assemble and ready for my germated seed the same day. No fuss. Under $140 and can go with me under the radar if I should move again or just want to break it down during my rest periods.

According to a report I read from a government website, the water in the US is generally good. I use the water from the tap and adjust the pH accordingly. I have produced all sorts of herbs and flowers using hydroponics with continued bountiful havests. I use RO/DI on my reef tank only. The...

I made a curtain around the inner edge of the lid using a trash bag. I used a plastic glue to secure the plastic curtain to the lid. The curtain is approximately 3" long. Like a shower curtain. Works great!

I use a 6" air cooled hood from htg. I had heat issues, but I notice that most of the heat was radiating from the surface of the hood. I purchased some insulating material from local hardware store and wrapped the outter surface with the material. The temperure in the grow area dropped a good 5...

I was planning to build a custom cabinet, but do to limited time before I run out of mid-grade herb, I will go with a DR60 with either 250w hps or the htg 7-Band 240w LED Grow Light.

85 degree is fine for most plants. Unless you wish to use the extra exensive power to cool the tent, leave it alone and enjoy the harvest. my setup get upwards to 90 degrees in the summer and i get over a 1/4# of herbs every harvest from 4 plants under 400w HID. 4" inline fan, 4x2.5x6.

nice setup.

I like this time of year in FL. If you can get some good outdoor harvest, sit outback with the grill cooking steaks, and smoke you one.

One other thing. With T5s you should try a SCROG setup to maximize the yield. You use 4 plants and get a quarter oz.

I used a 6 bulbs T5 lights and I got great results. Low heat and economical compared to HPS.

I agree with using aquarium blubs. I used a 6 bulb unit with 6500k and and the results were good. But, later grow I used 460nm and 12k and the plants has many more bud sites. I later used the same unit with 3000k blubs to flower. I got more produce with the 400w HPS. I like using T5 in the...

I am looking forward to sampling some of this years harvest. Not as much rain this year like last year. There was a news report of some guy hauling his harvest that stop to get a coffee with fresh buds in the car. Now that's a lesson on just plain dumb.

Do some research on this site and others on setting up a grow room. Do it right the 1st time to maxi your yield. As for the person living with you, be care. One of the top ways a person is caught is word of mouth. Don't piss her off. One night at a bar talking to the wrong person can land...

YOu have to close off the area and use a carbon filter. I use both a carbon filter and an ozone generator (OZN Jr) from HGTsupply. I have no noticable odors.

When I placed an order several months ago, it took awhile before I recieved the order. Since that order, I visit the store in Melbourne to restock. :joint:

you can get a digital HPS 600w HPS form HGTsupply.com for under $250. This is a very good unit with an air cool hood. You should get a good return on your crops. Good luck.

Have you started a journal? I would like to follow your progress. I have been reading on LST and I am thinking about trying it out once I set my area again.
