im about to start 4x4 tent, air cooled, 6'' fan, 600w ps sog in 1 gal grow bags cant decide on 36 plants with 6 by 6 grid or 25 with 5 by 5 plant grid my thoughts are 25 plants = better light pen, but is it worth it compared to 11 extra plants?

would an 8in fan for exhaust and 4'' for intake keep it cool enough? upstairs bedroom, time of year is cold, have intake from outside, 4x8 tent could it work? what would i need to work if not?

what im doing is a combo between closed and open, i cannot do full closed loop because of temps, so i do half closed (turning off exhasut so co2 is not wasted) then timer switches to open, replaces air cools temps then co2 kicks in again having it on timer, also ensures my ppm gets too high...

methane? why??? hahaha

so i looked more into the method called some friends that do it its called "closed loop" method as opposed to "open loop" the amount of difference you see with high co2 is just amazing, if you ever get a chance thg to try dry ice, or co2 tank or burners i highly recommend it heres some hard...

as i said this is what i have always done, and it has worked great unless you have tried or even experiment with co2 its hard to make judgments about the results i did NOT invent this method, it is a technique that has been perfected by many and i was taught it, disagree or agree im sharing...

solanero - waste of time in my opinion unless its a huge container, its not going to produce enough co2 to keep it at cponstant 1500-1800 ppm if u have a small space, get a sealed container, put whole in top, attach tubing, put on back of osc fan, and put dry ice in container. have to look up...

Hushpup - call brewing companies or bottling places they have tanks they cant use and will sell for cheap because they used but lightly, or craigslist

my tank is 15 lbs. long story short this is the smallest tank you can get away with in a 4x4, i have to fill it up once a month, but co2 ppm is always 1500-1800 if you dont use co2, i HIGHLY advise spending the extra few hundred bucks and get tank (prefer 20-25 so u dont have to refill as much)...

i was going to use reducer but im thinking other wise now, im getting the picture that 1k needs 6'' or else too hot, what about 2 600's with 4'' for each? i have t5's and ive used before but it doesnt compare to the lumens from 600 or 1000 at optimal temps and humidity, THG - i have my intake...

im buying gear for 4x4 tent grow - this is what im thinking the set up will be 1000w hps in magnum xxl hood, 1 4'' vortex air cooling hood, another 4'' for exhaust, and smaller fan for intake (on timer alternating with co2) doing sog so im pretty worried about high heat when they small - does...

thank you all for imput, im confident now i can pull a lb first, hamster lew, you have 2 lights in your single 4x4 tent? so 1000w it is, THG you dont think x2 4'' will be enough to keep it under 85? im running 2 600 in a 2 by 7 space and its usualy around 80 with only 1 4'' running and smaller...

im moving to a county that only allows 6 flowering plant limit, coming from a county that allows me to have 99 flowering i am going to follow the 6 plant law, i have full 600 hps air vented, 2 4'' vortex, co2 tank and reg, 4x4 tent i have both soil and hydro equip is it even possible to pull...

thanks pc thats exactly what i wanted to hear, thank you everyone for your input happy growing!

im thinking about trying a flood and drain with rockwool grow blocks 4'' by 4'' by 4'', but i was worried about the limited root space in the 4'', i was wondering if when the roots start to come out the bottom of the cube, could i but another fresh cube under it and will the roots grow into...
