    One step behind?

    Great information, I thank you!! I have since purchased inline fan, filter, and silencer to complete the ventilation system but after a few day removed the silencer, the tent temp was getting into the low 80's, I intend to temporarily remove the filter during the hot spell in an effort to...

    One step behind?

    Quite possible I misread the article?? The plants have only been in the tent for approx. 10 days, before that they were setting among the redwoods with approx. 8 hours of sun. The first 2-3 days in the tent I was having an issue with a new timer which I replaced and for the past couple days I...

    One step behind?

    Keef, I be thinkin the plants; 2 @ 2ft. high and the other 2@ approx. 1 ft high possibly too small to start turning them to a flowering stage and perhaps I should put them back on a 18/6 schedule until they get a bit taller? I do thank you for the input!!

    Grow Lights?

    Done; raised the smaller plants then set fan in sinc with lamp on a surge protector bar. The fan is a small standard house fan so probly not suitable application but will do for now until I purchase the filter and fan kit. According to manufacturer I set the lamp at 30% BW for the 1st 2-3 days...

    Assembling the frame took a matter of minutes however installing the tent was a major pain in the backside and it took a couple brews and remainder of the day. I am down to the last couple of feet and not sure how much more I want to test the limits of the zipper to the main entrance...

    Grow Lights?

    St Nick: Since familiar with the Vipar and although the item includes enclosed fans I am considering including a 5x5 mylar tent; if so, whether U have an opinion should I add a fan and filter? I promise to put this thread to rest. ‘Problem with engaging in useless activity is never knowing...

    Grow Lights?

    Rosebud, St. Nick, I thank you. I am trying to brain storm with little to work with. In my online browsing I came across yet another possibility, the King Plus 1200w, appears cost is such I could perhaps purchase 2 for about the same/similar cost of a single kit by other brands? At this point...
