You didnt give any dimensions, looks crowded for 2 plants? I see there is a door, have you checked to see how hot it gets with foor closed? I sdee you have fans but I think you will need a way to circulate fresh room air through there or its gonna get deadly hot.

35" x 50" x 25" It shouldn't be too bad. It gets to 29 deg in there with doors closed. 5 fresh air intakes and 1 bathroom fan to exaust. My fans will probably be mounted higher to get some air circulation, and i'm looking for a way to connect a hose from my AC to get some cool air in it. Almost ready tho.

well 29c is getting up there (84f), personally I like to try and keep mine a little lower than that. I still think it will be crowded unless you have some smaller varieties. My last 2 grows plants have gotten about 30 high and nearly that wide. I have about a 5'x3'x6' grow area That I thought would be plenty big for 4 plants and it is not. If it werent for one of the plants being nice and compact I would likely have had to do something with one of the plants.

Greenhouseseeds.nl They are pure Kush, so daytime temp is sposed to be at 27C. like i said, gotta get some A/C in there. I'm debating on also switching from pig tail splitters to a T split for a bit more room when i have 2 plants. Its all still a work in progress :)

Looks good to me! The only input I'd have on top of what others have said is that those side lights could end up burning your flowering plants. They'll grow outwards as well as upwards.

Homemade Co2 is pretty much a waste of time when you are sucking fresh air through the grow area constantly. You need a relatively sealed grow area to use CO2 and gain any benefits. You must have missed this statement:
" 5 fresh air intakes and 1 bathroom fan to exaust. "

Co2 is heavier than air and will stay low it will take longer than you think for it to leave if the bottle is continuously bubbling up co2. Or am I wrong?

Seriously, do you think it just sinks down and sits there with all that air moving from the exhaust fan?

Guys, i'm only growing for personal, fun and hobbie. If i need CO2 that badly, i'll breath on the damn plant, other then that, i think i'll be fine. lol.

I'm not saying it sits there I'm saying it should take longer to get out of the tent or cab because it is heavier

So I put in a homemade CO2 apparatus. I'm super glad i did. Seems like the plants freaking LOVE it...mind you, i have ZERO experience to compare too, but compared to what i'm used to smoking, i think i'm gonna have a heart attack. lmao. J/K. but check out the system, its a 5gallon bucket, with an air pump with an airstone at the bottom of the mix, so it bubbles more and the pressure pushes the co2 out the top. i turn it on at night when its less windy, and the whole room reaks of wine. Anyhow, let me know what u think.
