Hi all, great forum! I'm starting my first indoor grow soon. I've already ordered (or have) everything. In the past I grew outdoors or in a greenhouse. I'd be interested in any advice or comments concerning my future setup.
I'm on my cell and adding pics is not easy. I will try to add pics tomorrow.
I set up a cheap ebay 4x4x7 tent with 6" vents.
A 400w hps/mh light, with a 6" air cooled hood.
And I'll be growing in a 4 5gal bucket dwc (with reservoir) from faster gardens.
This setup will be located in an unheated, moldy garage. I live near the ocean and the winters are cold and the summer's hot and humid. With spring and summer coming, I'm just focused on keeping the tent cool.
I plan on using 6" flexible ducting to bring in fresh air from the outside and vent it outside.
I am thinking of installing a 6" intake vent low on my north wall, connecting to a 6" T that will connect to the lower intake vent on the tent, and another 6" duct will go from the other part of the T to the light.
For the exhaust I will use an existing 6" vent that is about 7' on the west wall. I will connect a 6" 430cfm inline fan to the outside vent. The fan will connect to a T, that the light and top tent vent will exhaust to through 6" ducting.
During the hot months I will probably place frozen gallon jugs of water in the tent and smaller frozen bottles in the reservoir.
Thoughts?
