looks good but i would get that big bend out of your ducting on the right side to increase airflow.

Thanks, that was before she was running, had the hps bulb in to make sure it fired up in case of possible return. Right now I do not have any ducting on the right side, until I flip that is. Since the height will be at it's lowest when flipping, I can cut the ducting to size and connect to the filter. That seems that it will still bend... but shorter distance.... I have seen the set up online before with the filter inside. I like the pull better than the push anyway and not much for the extra weight on the fan side inside the tent. Still gonna be hot though.. need a robot to close the vents when I can not make it lol. Any recommendations on filter placement?

i like to put the filter either strapped to one of the top beams or on the end of the reflector itself. no ducting needed if its on the end of your of your reflector. ive got mine ducted pushing through the carbon filter. its not the best way of going about it but its what i could do with what i had on hand.

i use both powder and gel. one or the other probably would work but i double up to make sure they root lol.
i got a aero cloner as well but never had any good luck with it but i think it was due to high water temps in it.

Yeah the water temp is the main thing that holds it back.
Thats why in the winter I put it out in the garage on the floor. Roots come 2x as fast as summertime. Summer I add ice to it.

That's how i do it... Put the ducting into the carbon filter a few inches past the flange, and tape heavily with foil tape to seal it up. Makes a permanent attachment for a bit of ducting, but I replace carbon filters after 2 runs anyway and only use a foot or so between the filter and the fan.

Doesn't look bad at all. What kinda soil is that? Doesn't look real airy otherwise it looks healthy. What kinda lighting?

I never really got close to the elusive 1gpw, might be strain and growing technique more than anything.
I think.75 gpw is as close as I have gotten, and I might be over estimating still.

I pulled .88 with 250 w SCROG. Which is the lowest efficiency bulb lumens/watts ratio :)
