Okay, I am about halfway into my first grow in quite a few years. I am a 100% legal caregiver for my cousin with MS. I am growing in a Grow Jardin 120T Dimensions are 4ft x 4ftx 5ft in the lower box and 4 x 4 x about 2 ft in the clone box on top. So far I have a 2 430 watt HPS Hortilux bulbs in a dual cooltube being vented by a Hydrofarm 400cfm inline fan. I also have another Hydrofarm 400 cfm fan on my carbon filter which I have exhausting out of my grow tent into my garage. There is a passive intake via 6 inch ducting on the lower end of the tent as well. The air from the cooltube is vented outside via the crawlspace in the garage. I also have an Air King 6" fan for air movement inside the grow chamber. The top clone box has a 125 watt compact fluorescent and is vented with a simple 8 inch turbo fan... Nothing else is really needed up there...
I am in week 2 1/2 of 12/12 in my flower chamber with one Casey Jones and one NYC Diesel. I have 3 clones of the Casey Jones and 2 clones of the NYC Diesel going in the clone box as well. I will include a few pics so you guys can have something to look at.
I am using all Foxfarm Nutes and Micro nutes, I bought the whole line. I am growing in Foxfarm Ocean Forest Soil in Root Pots.
Now where I have questions:
I recently purchased a Titan Co2 controller and soon will have a 20lb tank and want to incorporate the co2 into my flower chamber. I have read a lot on co2 injection in grows and all but havent quite got any info on a few aspects of it clearly. So here I am:
I am currently using a passive 6" intake and using the suction of my inline fan pulling through my carbon filter to vent the tent and get rid of the odor. Since I need to have a air tight grow space do I turn the carbon filter/exhaust into a carbon scrubber and just scrubb the air in the flower chamber? Or would I want to remove the carbon filter and place it outside the tent and scrub the garage surrounding the tent?
Temps are barely above ambient in the tent with the cooltube and inline fan. So I am hoping temps will not be an issue although I have never ran the flower room without the exhaust/carbon filter running as well as the fan going through the cooltube.
Do I need to replace the co2 or flush out the old co2 every few hours in the day during the light on cycle? Or just maintain the high 1500ppm level constantly???
Thanks to all who help me out here!!! Sorry if it is a bit long winded, just wanted to try to include all the info.
