First time builder supply list

[pcduck]

fyi onmikesline, they frown on live outside here on our forum :aok:

With tents I have found that you get what you pay for. I bought a cheap one from ebay and it has more light leaks then I care to mention, this one I use for veg because light leaks are not so much of an issue. I also bought a Secret Jardin from Greners.com when they had a big sale before Thanksgiving, and it has no light leaks at all, I use this for flowering because when in flowering you want zero light leaks.

If you want to save money make your own DWC buckets, they are a whole lot cheaper when you make them yourself. Plus I do not see the need of a drip system with a DWC with just a couple days of hand watering(if you need to) your roots will hit the nute solutions anyways.

 

[onmikesline]

yeah im sure some tents leak, can you remember the one that was leaking so i can stay away from it?

 

[pcduck]

4'11" x 4'11" x 6'6.75"

that one is great. but.... its a little short, might want to get one taller atleast 6-7' if your going to flower in it. imo

i love the ones that do not have the sleaves on the vent openings. with that style tent you can add the add on flanges. and that makes for much cleaner, easier setup.

the hole on top of the tent is a prefect place for you to set a fan on so it wont be in the tent itself, saving space.

i actually bought mine from that seller

 

[onmikesline]

you mean for the HPS air cooler tubing to go up on top?

 

[PuffinNugs]

you need a centrifugal fan, not a inline booster. you can set them right on top

picture is a centrifugal fan, you would place that on top of the tent itself, and the ducting would connect from your lights to that, blowing the hot air out.

dont have my phone at moment so cant show my setup, it would explain a bit better by seeing

 

[onmikesline]

you think a Secret Jardin Dark Room Pro DR150 II Grow Tent will be better size? because i do have to hang up the T5's and i kinda want it to fit lol

 

[PuffinNugs]

IMO no, i dont like that style (sleeves). but this is your grow, your money.

i would get the one you just posted on ebay but a taller one.

 

[pcduck]

you think a Secret Jardin Dark Room Pro DR150 II Grow Tent will be better?

Yes... I have the DR Pro120 II and it is a real good tent. No light leaks anywhere, even the zippers do not allow light through

 

[onmikesline]

IMO no, i dont like that style. but this is your grow, your money.

i would get the one you just posted on ebay but a taller one.

i would but i cant find a taller one

if you get one without sleeves you can add these (picture), amkes everything so much better imo

 

[onmikesline]

yeah that's perfect, thank you so much,

and for the centrifugal fan fan your showing in the picture, should i go with a 4'' or a 6?

 

[PuffinNugs]

6" and a fan speed controller

4" seem louder for me, plus most ducting and lights are set for 6" and then you wont have to run any reducers

 

[onmikesline]

and the 6'' one has a 120v plug right?, sorry for all the dumb questions, i just want to make sure im doing everything right because it seems like you guys are experts

 

[onmikesline]

I'm looking at speed controls but im not 100% sure which one to get

 

[PuffinNugs]

i just was helping a buddy get setup so its all fresh in my mind.. he couldnt afford it in the end though to be setup proper, has to wait for more cash


but yes its 120v normally

ill post a link to the controller next post

 

[PuffinNugs]

fan speed controller
