Hello All, Im working to build out my future grow tent. Im in a non legal state and hopefully next year it will go full recreational. In prep for this once legal im still looking to keep this grow behind doors and not just visible in my office. The below items are what I have spec'd out and would place in my closet. Im looking to run 1-3 plants max. I used to grow in a c13 cabinet about 10 years ago with a 400 watter and could never manage temps but had a few successful runs.
Tent - MILLIARD 36" x 20" x 63"
Light - Apollo 400 Watt MH/HPS with cooltube
Exhaust - VenTech Exhaust Blower Fan with Carbon Filter and Variable Speed Controller, 440 CFM, 6
Fan - 8 inch clip fan
I would connect ducting from filter to cooltube and exhaust out of the tent directly into my attic to remove heat from the tent completely. Ambient temps in my office/closet are around 79-81 degrees right now during summer (110 degrees outside). Tent flaps would be open at the bottom to allow fresh air in.
Im thinking my temps will still be too high seeing that my ambient temps are already a bit warm. With that said i plan to dial the ballast down to 50% or 75% to get into a manageable range. I want to run HIDs but maybe for this smaller space and my dry hot environment LED could be a suitable option?
Any thoughts or feedback greatly appreciated. I have plenty of time to tune this setup once i get everything in the mail just have not ordered light.
