Oh and one more thing, do you guys agree to have the fan PUSHING air over the light? Like I said, no filter in use so like the pic showed... Fan>light>duct>flange/out. And should I use duct between light and fan? Thanks guys!

Click to expand...

I've always gone fan>>>ducting>>>light>>>ducting>>>exhaust

this is because I have a carbon filter before the fan and I'd rather small amounts of clean air escape out the light than it suck unfiltered air into the light and out the exexhausts lap you should get a small rotating fan for the wall if possible. Help the plants get a nice even breeze to keep me short.

I grow in a 6' x 3' by 7' cabinet in a shed outside. I have a 600w HPS with digital ballast. 6" inline fan drawing air through the vented hood to cool the bulb. Run from 4pm to 4am currently. Starting to see temps in the 90's for highs at the moment. Will change timer as it warms.

Rather than cover the interior of the closet with anything, I simply stapled Panda Film to the studs and roof. It is black on the outside and white on the inside. I also ran it in front of the door with a slit for access and overlapped it for light control.

I don't worry about light leaks between the door, or anything like that, and in a year of growing, I have only had one plant hermie and that was a white widow plant that I revegged. I'm pretty sure it was more from the stress of the reveg and constant FIM that I did to it more than any light leak.

I am pulling 1 1/2 to 2 zip per plant with fox farms nutes. More than enough for me. Simple is better.

For sure no rush. The more you rush the more you miss and have to spend time redoing.

And it sucks when you dont notice something until after your plants are already going.

Hey guys, nothing to interesting but a little paint. Had a gallon of flat white ceiling paint, so i put it to good use! this is only the first coat, and im doing the floor last. I sprayfoarmed the backwall/ceiling bc of a 1/4" gap, so thats why its not painted. I plan on finishing up tomorrow or friday. keep you all posted. then its germination time!

So I'm looking at making a purchase of nutes. I have rock wool cubes. I was thinking GH Flora Series 3-pk(Grow,Bloom,Micro), GH pH Up & Down, Dutch Master Gold Zone, GH CaMg. Any recommendations for germing? Specifically for DWC
