Here's what I did. Split the Rez area from the grow area, using panda film. Makes it a different space. I pulled air into the grow space through an inlet in the Rez space. The cool air coming in would enter the Rez area first, and I would keep a fan blowing strait at the side of the Rez next to he intake, blowing cold air on the Rez. Like holding a can of soda out the car window to get cold. The big part was the separation though. Even if you don't have light hitting the Rez, if it's the same airspace as the grow and lights, the air around the tank will be warm and heat it up over time.

Hey thanks for the reply. Rearranging is definitely on the cards for when this grow ends. Unfortunately the room my tent is in, and the res, it's not movable until the grow is finished... I've already started planning how to improve it. The other problem is I live in Australia, a hot part of Australia, and the room both the res and tent are in can get up to 35 degree Celsius when the lights are turned OFF. In my situation I'm mostly trying to keep it cool when the grow space is asleep. That's just the ambient temperature that creeps into the house - and it's not even summer yet. This time next month the air outside will likely be 40C or above... It's worse than the grow lights.

At night when my lights are on its a little cooler and more manageable, at this stage

I have a friend who wants to set up a legal grow in Colorado and produce 40 pounds a month in 1000 square feet with a limit of 150 plants. Is this possible? and if so how? The only thing I could think of is leds and hydro, and that is dubious. I'm open to suggestions.....I'm trying to give him some honest answers before he falls off the cliff.

:peace:

I don't see 40# a month off led/hydro...but thats just me

11 3 gal pots,fox farm soil,strain (fireballs),bottle feed,4-6 week veg,9 week flowering....gave me 2 1/2+#
Under a 1000watt DE.

I'm with you in that I don't think it's possible to produce 40#'s a month in that space with only 150 plants-that's total, clone, veg & bloom.....and they want to do it in soil.....and I'm a soil grower.
How do you like your DE? I have the nanolux cranked up to 1200 and preliminary results have been 20% lower, but I'm thinking it was the nutes I was using....and setting up a new room and fine tuning it.

I think it's do-able.... but for a pro with experience. Not someone wanting to start up. I broke the 1,000 sq. ft. into a space of 25' x 40'. Flower space is 25' x 25'. Veg space is the other 25' x 15'. Breaking up the flower space, you could put in 64 plants with 3' x 3' for each one. With a 600w above each (because we love 600's lol) should give a pound per plant (if they are worthy of such an operation). That would be 64 lb per harvest. Make it so half the room is harvested 4 weeks off the other, that's 32 lb every 4 weeks.... IF..... you have an 8 week on the dot strain, and you harvest and put new veggers into flower THE SAME DAY, and your veggers are ready, and ..... etc.

So that's 64 x 600's in the flower space. :) I would guess all aircooled. That's a lot of money.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and to stay under the 150 limit, they would have 64 in flower, 64 in veg ready to replace with a wiggle room of 22 plants for mothers or extra clones, as usually people do not always have 100% survival.

Not do-able by my math and current growing methods. Going hydro is gonna kick the count up even higher. By my math, with my soil indoor growing I'd need 1400 sq ft and anywhere up to 960 plants between veg and flower. I'm high and not good at math :)

I average about a lb a month working with 24 plants in veg/flower split. In 35sq ft. Multiply those by 40 yeah?

While we're playing this game, what do you guys thing you could pull if you had two bedrooms for growing. I'm guessing one for veg and one for flower. What like 6 x 600's for flower? 5 lbs per harvest? 7 times a year? Is that doable you think. In hydro.
