so ive finally collected everything i need to put together my grow tent and before i set everything up just wanted to run it by everyone and see what you guys think. this'll be my first CGE attempt...
GROW METHOD
so we get 3 plants SET IN 9" mesh pots (9" cuz imma be vegging longer than normal) placed in a DWC/Aero/Fog hybrid hydro system built into a 37 gallon rubbermaid tub serving as massive rez bubble bucket thing. above this is a mesh screen for training my girls, ill be using the SCROG method (respect to rumpleforskin). for those who don't know it, this will be my first attempt but from what i've seen, i'm sure it'll blow your mind.
AIR QUALITY
just below the screen are fans and a scrubber hooked up to an inline fan that will pipe air back up to the top of the tent(important cuz ill be using co2 which sinks to the floor of the tent). all this will serve to circulate the air in the tent.
Also in the tent is a 20lb co2 tank piped up to the top of the tent. the tank is hooked up to a regulator which is in turn hooked up to a co2 monitor/controller. the moniter/controller is hooked up to an environmental controller meant to control humidity, temp and co2.
Outside of the tent is a portable A/C, one tube pumps cool air into my tent and the other pumps hot air out the window. the A/C is also plugged into the environmental controller and will turn on automatically when it gets too hot.
LIGHTING
1 600watt dual spectrum HID in a cooltube. the cooltube vented with a 8" inline fan. of course, full ducting on either side of the cooltube so the inline fan can't be a source of co2 leakage.
what d'you guys think? any glaring problems or things i missed?
