    My 600 WATT CLOSET FLOOD TABLE GROW ( I NEED ADVICE )

    My 600 WATT CLOSET FLOOD TABLE GROW ( I NEED ADVICE )

    How many CFM's for 1000w HPS light with cooltube + carbon filter

    there is such a thing as too much light. you might want to re-consider your light choice. a 1000 watt light would give you 18,000 lumens per square foot. that is almost double the light of the sun and much more light than a plant can stand. even a 600 watt light is pushing the boundary with...

    I think I have a male ;/ first time grower.

    hermies will bud, the problem is if it self- pollenates. so yea, take a shot at carefully removing the sacs - but they can be very fragile if near release. don't try it in your grow room.

    Large room , how much cfm

    you want one complete air exchange per every five minutes to bring in fresh air. if you need ventilation to cool down the room that could increase the airflow needs to as high as five air exchanges per minute. you are at just under 1 air exchanges per every 2 minutes with your current fan, so...

    New pricing on indoor

    count on 30 square feet for the footprint of your grow, then two 600 watt hps lights would do the trick for flowering. you will probably want two grow rooms, one for veg and one for flowering. a 400 watt mh light would be perfect. then you need a carbon filter, fans and ducting. and meters...
