Interesting. I have a 4x4 in my bedroom but it has T5's only (its for mothers), no HIDs, so no cooling is necessary,
only a POS outtake fan, but I'm tellin you its still pretty loud. If you have a 4x4 with an HID in your
bedroom you might not be able to sleep so well. Especially with Oscillating fans and other equip making noise.

i know, sound is going to be my biggest issue as i have to keep it unknown to my housemate i have 6'' 435cfm fan for exhaust that will also be pulling air out of room through filter through aircooled hood then out of tent into room. thinking about duct mufflers, possibly building a box around the fan, any other sound reduction ideas, i know i have read a thread on sound reduction in the design&setup section. the fan will be attached to a variable speed controlled thermostat from CAP with seperate day and night temp knobs so im hoping the fan won't have to run over half power to keep the tent below 80 during lights on.do you think to much hot air is going to collect in my room with door closed? i have a window i could exhaust air out of but it would need to look non-suspicious from outside. any suggestions on any of this? im open.

Wow, sounds a little risky man, Idk if there is fool-proof advice for a situation such as this.

That fan makes a hell of a sound when it turns on, if anyone is walking past your bedroom
door or near the room when that thing flicks on or off, its gonna be known. Is your housemate
regularly home? Do you share the same living space? If so whats the plan for chopping, drying
and trimming? I think Sound and Smell alerting your housemate are equal issues to you.

yea im definately concerned about both smell and sound. i plan to exhaust threw a 450 cfm phat filter(havnt used these new lighter phat and phresh filters, only the can-fan filters. how do they compare?) hopeing this will take care of most of my exhaust smell. the only good thing is my house mate is out of town alot (probably 33% of the time and for long periods like 4-14 days) im planning on chopping when she is gone. as far as living space her bedroom is a ways from mine (up stairs on opposite side of house) although my bedroom door is right beside washer/dryer and kitchen, obviously a common area for her to be. she doesn't invade my privacy which is why i would even consider doing this. she doesn't smoke but knows i smoke and has know problem with it but growing is a different thing. i dont think she would be cool with it. but i dont think she would call the cops if she found them. one thing that has me a little sketch is that im within 300 yards of a public school and i think that automatically increases the penalty

450 cfm fans are very loud, like loud enough u don't want to live with them in your room and your roommate will think you have a loud ass bathroom fan in your room lol

phresh work great tho, mine has lasted a year or so and is now starting to get a lil weak. I have a extra one in the closet for when she gives out tho.

My thoughts.

Are you not able to replace the carbon in the Phresh?

no. not an option. wish it was. think i should just shut it down and just sacrifice the seeds i hav germing now? or would some combination of the variable speed controller w/ thermostat that i have in some combo with a insulated box around fan or maybe a duct muffler? i just need to get the sound low enough that if it is questioned i can say its my portable heater/ cooling unit's fan kicking on. i will jus tell my roomie that when she is not there i turn off ac and just heat/cool my room with it to try and save energy. and also on the energy note how much will the 600w and fans raise the power bill. wasn't that much at my old place seemed lik maybe 20 buck increase but i dont know about here.

I wouldn't be growing if I weren't legal. At least with the state. The Fed will follow.

AZ just legalized, that makes 15 states plus the District of Columbia!

Predictable, I know. But I find it exciting that when I had 8 plants in my room
it took 4 weeks to go through my CO2 canister, and with the 16 it has taken 2 weeks!
I just like imagining these ladies munching on that CO2.

Its week 8 Day 2 for the CSD's and week 4 day 5 for the 4SD's
News:
I chopped 3 of the Chem Sour Diesels due to stem breakage. I am either going to have to construct
a frame around the trays and attach a trellis netting or use tomato cages for the plants. I am leaning towards
the trellis. The 4SD's are looking like they are going to have similar problems. These lanky soft stemmed
ladies put on way too much weight for their own good! Not a bad problem to have though. :weed:

Thoughts?

I would suggest tomato cages bro for the size they get. Almost perfect for how big they are in your room. I'm just using stakes for all mine personally but I know how you roll and would say the cages would be more your fit. I really dont think the trellis would support them(they didnt on mine anyway), unless you get a really heavy duty one or make one. Beefcakes bro... -Clearwater-

I'm thinkin more towards the trellis just because once its constructed and on it'll do fine.

We are using trellis at the warehouse and they are held fine as long as they are pulled tight
and at the appropriate height. The only setback is once the plants are in the trellis, I lose the
mobility, whereas the tomato cages I can still pull plants out and move them around.......:wall:

Macro deficiency would be solved by upping your base nutes. Add a couple more mL/Gal of Coco A+B.
