New to Hydroponics with Question about my setup.

IMAG0079.jpgIMAG0076.jpgIMAG0075.jpgIMAG0081.jpg I have a 6ft x 3ft x 2 ft tent, setup up inside I have a flood and drain ebb and flow 3 bucket system, inwhich I will be running 2 reseviours. One to clean the water before draining it back into the main reseviour. I have a 600w aircooled hood with a fan which I plan on pumping cold air via portable ac unit to keep light cool. I am going to co2 enriching with a co2 dispenser and a 20 lb tank, with 2 fans oscilating 1 ontop with the co2 hose behind, and 1 blowing the co2 back up. My question is if I can control the heat and humidity in my tent, would I need and exhuast if I keep the tent at 1500 ppm co2?

with a grow tent that small , I think that using Co2 would be throwing away money. With that size tent , you can get all the Co2 you need just with an oscillating fan. You know that you will be opening the tent all the time so you can look in on your girls.
 
CO2 is not throwing away money. He will see yield increases from it and his plants will finish "faster". If he bought a computer controlled system, that'd be crazy. A 20lb tank and a sensor isnt a huge chunk of change. By his setup, its obvious he is spending money on a nice setup. Let him enjoy it. :)

If you use CO2, you dont need any exhaust. Your lights on outside to light to outside will be plenty fine, especially for that size tent. Also, your A/C is probably overkill. A 600w in that space isnt really hot unless the ambient air around it is nasty for some reason.

Hope this helps!
 
Thanks a lot, yeah I wanted a big tent but also wanted to have closet space also, plus I plan on only growing for myself not commercially. The way I see it I can always upgrade the tent .
