So week 5 now added some stuff to finish off the veg room. Bought a 4bulb 4foot T5 High Output setup and got a humidifier from a friend. Now the veg room sits at constant 75-77 degrees and 52-55% humidity. Fans and feeding pumps all on timers and run when they should and Co2 is working great...

Co2 is the main ingredient used in photosynthesis and according to many books and sources can improve yields 20-30%. I think the percentage might be a little high at 30% but 15-20% is more believable, then again I have never seen a side by side test done. Best of Luck...

Ya I trim during Flowering all the time. If you see some small useless growth take it off so that the nutrients its using can be diverted to a better more fruitful area:D. The plant will generally tell you what it doesnt need during flowering. Plants lower growth will not develop or leaves under...

Which LED unit is it there are many out there that work some much better than others. I figure for 999$ your getting a pretty damn good unit I would hope lol. Anyway HPS! or Flouros anyday. HPS over LED even. I'm currently trying a HPS/LED combo in my flowering room and loving it. I think I...

only a 740 cfm for both lights and a can filter is a bit much not sure the filter will do the best job or the lights might not stay that cool. I run 2 600w HPS thru 6" cooltubes with a 740cfm fan and it does a pretty good job for sure but adding a can filter on top of that will limit CFM flow to...

Its not really a problem its just how plants feed and drop stuff as they grow it causes PH to swing. Yes your environment can play a factor but for the most part I dont adjust my PH except when i first do the nutes at the beginning of each week. As long as my PH stays between 5.6-6.2 I really...

Yes DJ is correct if you run positive pressure you might want to have a lung room and scrub that room instead. Thats why I recommended a fan controller so you can run negative pressure but keep it minimal where the walls are not being sucked in 6 inches. :D I use full line of advanced...

I prefer Cooltubes as they allow for easy adjust-ability and have a better more streamline air path for air cooling multiple lights with one fan. Cooltube is essentially a clear piece of 6 inch ducting with a reflector the only thing to restrict air flow is the light it self. All other air...

Important to run your lights at night when you not consuming electricity also helps balance you consumption. You are starting to realize why 3k is not that much hehe I would spend money on other stuff and probably get 2 good lights going at first. As you say you may have to cut back on size at...

Great advice Jdizzle22 I would not replace my HPS with that small of a LED. LED's are nice no doubt and i have a few but I run HPS aswell and the broad spectrum and power of a HPS takes many high power LEDs to replace it. For examples I have few Kessil H150 LEDS and if I used them alone I would...

I think 6-8 plants in your area is fine you will not have much work room but since it small area you can come at it from different angles. You wanna know if your lighting is optimal just do simple math. 3,000-6,000 lumens per square foot is optimal. Simple cheat sheet is take your lumens output...

If youre using FOIL take that crap out and go buy some PANDA FILM. Foil creates hotspots that burns your plants. Panda film does not and its about 10$ fro like 10x10foot deal really cheap. Best of LUCK

Heyas Guerrilla you got lots reading to do for sure. Electricity well only use 80% of your max amperage for each breaker. I run a 25 amp breaker so in theory I can run up to around 18-20 amps on that breaker safely. If you check my Journal youll see a picture of a Master Lighting Controller from...

I have a friend that has a room approx your size and his carbon filter is about 6ft tall and 3ft around ITS MASSIVE like a refrigerator lol. My Carbon filter for my 8x8x7 room is like 4feet tall and 2.5ft around and weighs like 100lbs lol. Im only 5 weeks into flowering but so far its having no...

I would run two 600w HPS or two 1000w HPS. Also you might consider air cooling the light using cooltubes to aircooled hoods so you can put lights closer to the plants. It all depends on your budget. If your watching your budget just run one 1000w parabolic and use some of your CFL's to fill in...

In my 8x8x7 tent I run two 600w HPS in 6 inch cooltubes hooked to a 420CFM inline(what you call cooltube)fan and have 2 h150 Kessil Magenta LEDS for supplemental lighting. Check my setup if you like https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/384835-swiftgrow-journal.html may give ya some ideas. I...

A 400MH is the best option for sure but if budget is tight you could get by with a good High Output T5 system. 400w Bulb = 100$+ 400w Ballast= 150-250$+ Hood For 400w= 100$+ T5 4ft Setup = APPROX 120$ Best of Luck https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/384835-swiftgrow-journal.html

Well check out my setup https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/384835-swiftgrow-journal.html and prolly up size a bit. I have a 8x8 tent which Optimal Lighting would be 4 600w HPS for flowering. I only have 2 600w HPS and 2 Kessil H150 LEDs. But I spent much more than 3000$. It really depends...

I would run one 600watt or 400watt w/ a 6 inch Cooltube hooked to a 200-250 CFM 6 inch FAN and you will have better light penetration and the cooltube is so cool you can keep it close to your plants for max lumens. Cooltube cost about 120$ at most and comes with adjustable wing reflectors...

I run a hydrofarm Co2 solenoid regulator w/timer and its pretty simple really. I have the 0-2 cubic foot one and that good for up too about 10x10x7 so you would need the 2-20 cubic foot kit most likely. I did a few test with Co2 test kit to make sure but I used this website...
