I have a question as I am big time upgrading my CA 100% legal, setup to service my private non-profit patient run co-op.
I saw all this good info here and figured my question belonged in this thread. Any assistance would be great.
ROOM:
I am building a 4x8x8 flower tent inside of a 11x14x8 Room. I will be using a 1000watt HPS, HydroFarm Ballast and Inline air cooled Hood in the tent. I will only be using 4x4 or so right now, but I am leaving room for expansion.
The Veg/Clone/Mother Area will be 100% T5 Flourescent. Probably between (4) and (8) 48" T5 tubes total.
A 9000 BTU AC will keep temps down throughout the room once the light is up. This is essential as I am in Southern California (though close to the ocean so relatively cool (75 to 88 degrees outside temperature compared to 85-105 inland).
This is an apartment building and smell is a concern.
QUESTION #1:
Trying to save money wherever possible, I was considering pulling all the air from within the tent, through the light hood, out some 6" ventilation to a 424 CFM fan, through an active carbon filter for smell.
Would this be sufficient to ventilate & cool the tent while avoiding smell issues?
QUESTION #2
I was considering
this following fan/can filter combo
Looks like a killer deal. I wouldn't trust it except their name brand stuff is really cheap too and they have a high approval rating.
Gotta keep cool enough, gotta keep the smell down. Do you think this will do the Job?
QUESTION #3
My Mother/Clone/Veg area is not inside of a tent. At any one time, There will be 2-4 Mother plants and up 20 clones, and 15 babies vegging 2 weeks. It is in the room with the AC and I do not have any smell control planned for these guys. I have never had this many plants before and I am concerned about the smell of this many seedlings.
Any help in this matter as I have never had to deal with this stuff on this scale in the past.
Will I be stinkin' up the place with my little seedlings?
Thanks guys. I've been lurking forever.
