to seal or not to seal

I keep my fans running 24-7 one near floor to keep the co2 moving it sinks towards the floor keeping the fans running helps with the extra moisture after the lights go off and temps drop I run my co2 between 800 and 1100 but it depends on how much light you have if they can take advantage of the co2 weak lighting use less co2 but I noticed far better growth at 1100 vs 600-800 I only dump the air/co2 at night right after lights out plants can't use the co2 then anyway

Good point!.. CO2 is heavy. @Xsan, you'll want to hang that Ares burner as high as recommend. I think it's 20 inches clearance from the top of the generator to the ceiling. I have 2, 24 inch industrial fans on swing, and a 10" hyperfan running on the floor in one corner, pointing to the opposite corner. This keeps the CO2 circulating as it floats down, and then gets pushed back up by the Hyperfan, and then the 24" fans spit it back out on top of the plants again. I didn't do the floor fan at first, but then I got an AirROS (H203 generator), and H203 is heavy too, and AirROS recommended the floor fan.

I would be hanging all 5 lights in the same room so they benefit from the lighting over lap. Having different tents in the same room isn't really gonna save you as much pest spread as you think. Although I understand the appeal. Most of the time pests will hitch a ride on you and can even just March or fly over from tent to tent.

I think you would have a better time growing if you had more access all around the plants (which a tent robs you of). Plus it saves you trying to control 5 small environments.

This would be ideal, but I think he's trying to do perpetual. If he does it right, and has the patience, he should have enough meds to get him through to the next grow... I would think. Less work too, not having to control different enviros.

@Xsan .... we didn't really discuss this, but are you trying to do a small commercial grow?..or just personal?

He can still do perpetual. Just have different trays starting staggered. Every two weeks transplant a new tray of clones into the flower room from veg.

I ran a 4x8 tent like this where I pulled out 20 plants every two weeks, harvest and replace.

you got it. small personal perpetual. I would definetily have enough product to make it from harvest to harvest if I ditched the tents, a single 4x4 would be enough for my personal use but I enjoy the process and like the idea of always having plants in each stage.
