101 Already Asked Questions

I have a ? for widow maker. I have a 5 ft wide 2 ft deep closet. its all white. will a 4ft 2 bulb t5 with 4 35watt cfls, 2 cfls per 10inch reflector on a y socket be enough light for 2 plants. the t5 has 10,000 lumens and the 2 bulb cfl set ups each have 4,800 lumens. with proper kelvin scales wouls this be enough. im looking at putting the t5 across the top and one 2 bulb cfl setup on each end. its going to be about 19,000 lumens for about 250 watts. or should i go with the 250 watt MH/HPS set up. there both going to cost around the same. im just worried about a fire when im at work for 12 hours on shift work. will it get to hot in my closet. thank you for any help.

I have four seeds in the soil for over four days now and still nothing. It took a little over 2 days to germinate, now over 4 in the soil and they're not sprouting. Should I be concerned? I have these in the plastic cups, standing on top of the water heater. All seeds from legit bank, feminized. Thanks for the help. :)

i have like 3-4 tent questions all relating to ventilation i feel like an idiot when it comes to ventilation

would it be possible to run a duct from the air conditioning vent on the cieling into my tent? I mean i know its possible but what if i taped up like half of the vent for the duct and left the other half open for the room would the air actually make it into the duct or would it just flow into the room or would i have to tape up the whole thing

seperate question


lets say i have a 4 inch inline fan and i want to use it to cool my light with no carbon filter. where does the ducting start for something like that?? like duct to fan to hood to out of the tent? and where is that inline fan drawing air from? or is it pushing the air into the hood and out of the tent. could i see a 4-6 temp decrease in something like that? im just not sure how to hook up a 4 inch inline


seperate question

lets say i have a 4 inch inline with carbon filter and air cooled hood. so it starts from the carbon filter then ducts to the fan which draws air/notsure? out of the carbon filter to duct to hood to out of the tent? if thats how it works how does the carbon filter keep the smell out if its just venting the hood?

seperate question

here is my hood there is 4 notches it looks like around where i can duct something. is that made for an attachment that I have to buy or does the ducting slip in there? also can i use duct tape on a hot hood?? will that make it bubble up? here is the picture of my hood http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z458/sbuuttler/03-13-2011/lightsetup.jpg

seperate questionn

here is the picture of my hood http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z458/sbuuttler/03-13-2011/lightsetup.jpg im gonna be using rope ratchets soon instead of chains should i change the positioning of the hood to sideways so its easier for the ducting? or which would be the easiest for ducting??

seperate question

would a 80cfm fan be of any worth to this tent? they are 14 bucks at home depot. would my temp drop even 2-3 degrees with one? would it be enough to draw air through the hood??

seperate question

here is the picture of my hood http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z458/sbuuttler/03-13-2011/lightsetup.jpg so the notches for ducting are a little bit further apart then the ducting area and my tent has 5 inch flanges would I be able to use 5 inch ducting that would hook up to that 4 inch hood?

the heat is so bad coming from that duct area in my hood I eventually plan on getting a 4inch inline fan in a week or so Im just looking for a really cheap option now im really just super confused about ventilation and i dont have alot of options if anyone could answer any of these I would much appreciate it!

Hey guys, I'm super new to this and I have been trying to find out what the humidity should be in my tent. Its 2' x 3' x 5' with a 175cfm exhaust. I expect it will be kind of hard to keep any moisture in there with that much air flow. Any ideas? Thanks! :lol:
