Two 1,000W Adjustable Hps in 5x5 Tent with Auto flower

2 1,000 watt hps wing hood's with adjustable ballast in a 5 by 5 grow tent. Smart pots and ocean forest Fox farm pre Ph'd soil, filtered water, 440 cfm fan and carbon filter, split hose for both lights, CO2 tank

What do yall think? Comments or advice maybe questions............... ALL WELCOME!!

Waiting for ups to ship tent and fan/filter. Using home fan for exuast until then, waiting for regulator for CO2 tank. 6 Big Devil 2 automatic seeds, germinated in a cup of water and now are in peat moss pots in organic soil while i wait for ups, under 1 1,000 watt light at 75% ballast power. Tomorrow should get tent.

Day one pic. Super basic.

Adjustable ballast....... Still no sprouts so i turned it up to 100% (worried they were in water too long or they don't like the organic soil) Today ups/fed ex is bringing the soil plugs the oceancreast soil and the CO2

cont. Tank regulator. Tomorrow will get the tent and filter/fan. Next week should get my next seed order, i have the Big Devil #2 but on the way have original Big Devil Auto, Smurfberry auto, Dwarf auto, Auto White Russian, an Auto Haze and La Diva Auto Plus some free dank non Auto seeds.....For later. Right now doingba legal 30 plant grow fyi lol

Got these plus the rapid rooting plugs, im letting the plugs warm up then transplanting from crap to excellence...... well worth therisk

Ok, lost 2 seeds..... they are in the smart pot with that jiffy organic soil mixed with the Fox Farm Soil. They will pop up lol. The other 4 are in the peat moss pots in smart pots

Still waiting for the damn ups guy

Ups finally made it. Got the tent and fan/filter going. Had some heat issues but got it down to 79 and stable. Note to self DON'T SPLIT THE EXUAST!

Day 4 in soil, 12 hours in tent 1 Big D Sprout come on other 5 girls. Running light at 750 watts, it seems much more yellow/red than the 1000 watt full. Might end up doing 5 sqft 1500 watts. I need to install a better inlet for fresh cold air.

I predict temps being a problem in a tent(closet) with 2 1000's and no air cooled hoods.

which you obviously already know lol sorry I posted that in a quick daze. It looks like you have the grounds basically covered, best of luck with FFOF. I used to use it and recommend it but its too inconsistent to have any faith in so I switched to coco. whatever works best for you, though. you have a FUCK ton of light that will perfectly compliment the space in your tent. I still suggest getting 2 air cooled hoods and running 2000w. you will have BEAST nugs. but high temps really fuck shit up.. more than people think.

like I want to give you my measly eurohood (6 inch air cooled) because you will have much better use for it than I do lol

Got nice fresh air comming in. Lowes didnt have cage fans, but i do have a fan in the room pulling. Temp right now is 82 after "adding more heat and unplugging the exuast" just need to get the CO2 tank filled and get that cage fan later today/tomorrow.

Hose in..... hose out

yeah i saw how you had it. a buddy of mine does the same thing but the 'cool' thing about a cooled hood is that it traps the heat in one small spot so it can be removed easier. its all over your tent and your exhaust system in inefficient. if anything, you'd be better off pulling the exhaust from the from the top of the tent, as heat rises. probably 90% of your heat is being circulated in your tent and not sucked out of your exhaust the way you currently have it. dont take that the wrong way, just trying to help out

I dont know how to "add" in a cool tube. The huge hoods seemed more crutual, i am going to look into seeing if a cool tube is an option still. Once i get the cage fan ut shiuld drop alot plus once i implement the co2 that will allow for up to 15 degrees hotter enviroment. I would like cool tubes if i can.

When i had the hose at the top it was clinging to the wall. That's why im trying to pull heat straight from the light with the fresh air coming in from the bottom.

there are hoods with a similar footprint as the wing reflector you have. you dont even need one with a lens, just one that captures the heat and has flanges to mount ducting up to to suck that heat out easily before it escapes to the rest of the tent

Got this on order, im going to just attatch it to the wing hood. Since i bought this im going to wait on the cage fan.

Then im going to buy another one when the other seeds arrive.
