Welcome to 420 Bigga, I would grab a ph meter before you get rolling. Will this be soil, soiless or dwc?

 

[Biggaford2]

I would use soil, but is there any advantages to using the others, and the ph meter is used for, sorry if thats a dumb question

 

[Pennywise]

Soil is fine, the ph meter will give the ph of your water or nutrient solution. In some types of growing where your feeding a nutrient solution ph is critical.

 

[Biggaford2]

ok thanks whats a good price range because i see some for 20 bucks, and how high of a range should the ph detect

 

[Pennywise]

Cannabis in soil - 6.2-6.8
Cannabis in hydro - 5.6-6.2
I use blue lab meters but a cheap ph pen will get you started if your on a budget.

Welcome! You've certainly come to the right place to learn to grow!

First, I can tell right away that the 190CFM fan will be NOWHERE close to what you'll need to cool a 96x48 tent, unless by chance you're living in the North Pole!

Also, an oscillating fan for circulation in the tent.

Beyond that, I think just some nutrients and medium and you'll be all set, although, I don't know enough about those lights to tell if you'll get adequate coverage in that tent.

A pen would be the way to go for ease of use. I use a PH liquid test kit but its not AS exact as youre relying on a chemical reaction colour change and its not for everybody it can be frustrating at first. I use them cos theyre cheap and you dont need to calibrate them. Eventually you wont need either really. Just when you change things up like switch nutes or perform a flush. You will know how much ph up/down to mix with every litre of water/nutrient mix that suits what comes out of your tap.
Welcome

 

[Biggaford2]

Thanks so can u tell me what fan i should look for, can you recommend one and an oscillating fan

 

[Bilbobudkin420]

Id say atleast a 6" outtake fan and a 4"intake. Have you thought about what soil you're gonna use?

 

[Mr. Krip]

For something that size, I'd think you'd need at least a 6" or 8" duct fan with at least 450 CFM assuming you're drawing intake from an air conditioned (cool) room. You want to replace all the air in your tent every 1-3 minutes. Your have 192 CF of space BUT when you add the carbon filter it will reduce draw by about 20% and you need to oversize the fan so it's not always running at 100%. Also, if you'll be using CO2 or air-cooled lights, you'll need more CFM. You also need to over-compensate for bends in the ducting. For an oscillating fan, just get anything that will keep the canopy blowing to help build strong stalks and, more importantly, to help prevent mold.

no i didn't, any suggestion

BloomGrow 4'' / 6" / 8'' Inline Duct Flange Carbon Air Filter High CFM Inline Exhausting Fan Combo for for Grow Tent Ventilation System Hydroponic Growing is this one better??

 

[Bilbobudkin420]

Perfect

I always suggest the same thing. I personally use biobizz all mix as its easily available here and reasonably cheap for how good it is. Over in the states id say fox farm just because i see so many people using it well. Happy frog seems popular aswell.

 

[Tony Urban]

Welcome to 420 Biggaford2! Plenty of good folks and tons of information will be found here. Good luck!

 

[Biggaford2]

and for the soil?? is this a good enough fan?

Thank u so much, You guys have been great, can u tell me how much 1 planet can yield, can't get a good number, I hear a planet can generate a pound, is this true?

 

[Biggaford2]

do u think i should get the 2000w led?

 

[Bilbobudkin420]

Waaaay to many variables. Its less about the plant and more about space/time/light. In a 4x4 under good lighting 20oz is do-able under good conditions. Not sure what that would translate to in your space as i cant be bothered to try doing maths right now lol
