I need help deciding some stuff to buy and tips on building my setup. Im going to build a tent to house my 4x8 and 4x4 trays, the 4x8 will be used for flowering and the 4x4 for veg. Here is a layout of the room with dimensions(im open to other ideas for placement of everything, this is just what i was thinking):
So far all I have are the 4x8 and 4x4 trays, 40 gal res., 5 gal buckets and net pots, and some misc tubing/fittings
Air: I need to figure the most efficent setup for intake outtake fans, i want to run all the air from the veg room into the flowering room or the other way around whichever is better. I need help deciding that, and also what fans to get and matched with a carbon filter. I dont need to incororate the drying room as it will have its own fan set up, unless theres pros to incorporating it all.
Pumps: Im going to be running two separate drip systems for the flowering and veg rooms(obviously). I need to know what pumps i should use, the 40 gallon res i have will be used in the flowering room which will have 16 plants in 5 gallon buckets with net pots. The veg room will have the same but in half the space, and i probably a rubbermaid tub for the res to save money.
Ballasts/Hoods: Ill be using 2 600w Hps lights for flowering and 1 400w mh for veg. Ive been looking at the electronic quantum ballasts since you can find them for a little cheaper than the lumateks. Anyone have any experience with these compared to lumatek? Also been thinking of using cool tubes, any pros/cons about these?
Tent: Ill be building this tent out of 2x4s and most likely the Panda film stuff. Anyone done this ? Any tips on tent building would be greatly appreciated.
Im open to any and all ideas so brainstorm away! Ill be buying everything and constructing the room throughout the next couple weeks so help a fellow smoker out and help get my room up n goin. Im tired of looking at empty hydro trays!
