They grew nicely over the past week.

dude i have the same tent use the same nutes ,wich work great for me, my prob came from the fact that my exhaust fan could suck that tent flat. so i got a speed bully to adjust the speed but i have every vent in the tent wide open and i leave the top and bottom of main door un zipped. its inside in a dark room any way. but i have my carbon filter on the inside of tent i think this creates great air flow. for me eliminating any mold or mildew. i dont even know my temps. some pics of one of my tent growstent 3weeks.jpgweek 1 flower.jpg

This thread has great visual info for my soon to be grow tent op. :bigjoint:
2 questions, could you fit another 600w light into a small place such as a tent of that size and if so with your set up could you cool the tent efficiently ??

I've seen people use two 600 watt lights but with the one that I have I use an air conditioner to keep it cool. I imagine you would be able to efficiently cool a tent with two lights if you run a powerful enough air conditioner all the time.

Have you heard of Ceramic metal halide bulbs?
Even though they only come in 400w apparently they run cooler, I could use 3,
or I could stick with 2x600w bulbs running through a cooltube. Do you have any experience with cool tubes?
Oh and I have a similar portable air con but its about double the size.
:bigjoint:
I was looking at this setup what do you think?

So in your experience is a cool tube worth it. Do they cut down on heat adequetly enough?
Also, if so, how much closer can you have your light to your plants, using a cool tube?

I believe it's worth it. The closest I run my light is about one foot above the plants and I haven't had a problem with burnt leaves or anything so far.

I have almost the same setup, but I have 2 tents. One for flower and one for veg. I am using 600w bulbs with a MH in the veg tent and a HPS in the flower tent. I am growing 12 plants in soil from seed and was curious on your yields.

hey you didnt say how much you got on that last harvest ?????:confused:
My last harvest I got about 9 zips from 5 plants but I'm hoping for a lot more this time.

Only 2 of the 5 plants were from seeds and I got about 2 zips from each.

I made this video a few days ago. Plants are about 2 1/2 weeks into flowering.
