Hi all, i just got a new grow tent and would appreciate all advice to set this thing up to get the optimal results here is a list of everything that i have. please let me know if you would change something or if i need to add something.

1. 96x56x72 mylar lined grow tent
2. 2 600w HPS and 1 400w HPS
3. ebb & flo hydro set up - have 3 concrete mixing tubs thati am using for the flood table with large rubbermaid for the res.

on the ebb/flo set up i am using concrete mixing tubs for my flood table. i am debating on should i fill it with hydroton or use pots filled with it instead. there are pros and cons with each. i am planning on doing a SOG grow but not sure how many plants to put in each tub. i will start with 8 plants per flood table and see how that goes. if all is well i will add more the next cycle, unless someone advises me different.

here is a list of things tha ti still have to add but not sure on what size i need.

1. carbon filter
2. co2 set up
3. fans for air exhaust
4. the strain that i will be going with is Northern Lights #5. clones will be placed in 4x4 rockwool and put in flower mode as soon as i see roots coming out of the small rockwoolcube.

If anyone has any insight on this it would be a great help. i will be posting pics tonight to give you a better picture of what i have. thanks in advance

1. You're gonna need at least an 8" by 24" filter for that size room.
2. Not sure what you're asking - if it's a "yes/no" question, I'd say "yes".
3. One 8" inline moving 800CFM+ would work if it was dedicated strictly to exhaust and not cooling lights as well.
4. Good choice, I used that strain for my first grow.

As a rule of thumb, many people here are willing to help others in any way possible, but you need to post more specifics regarding your setup and ask more specific questions as opposed to just saying "I wanna grow, do it for me".

Anyways, good luck with your grow.
