Hey there everyone. Since I am new here I'll share with you guys my set up. I've lurked long enough in the shadows and plan to participate primary in THCfarmer.

I hope to get a digital camera soon so I can have better pictures. So in advance - sorry for the cruddy pictures.

I have in a room a 6.5'x6.5'x6.5 tent from htgsupply

I am running a 1550 btu Air conditioner along with Digital 400watt hps. To cool the lighting I am using the Stanley Fan Mod.

In the tent I am using MultiFlow buckets 6 total. I also grow soil to fill in gaps.

I know my 400watt is underpowered for the tent. I have a 1k on the way. Just hesitant to use it cause of the magnetic ballast.

My room stays stable at 76 Lights off and 78 - 82 Lights on. RH stays stable at 12 - 25

Currently in the room I have my old mum which is GCxJHxTW along with some of her cuts. On the tray in the middle with soil I have some BBxMK going.

If the A/C works like that I think thats pretty cool , Does the A/c heat the room up like that ?

[HolliHerb]

It actually doesn't. I found a decent write up on ic. It details on how the AC works and stuff. By building a box that covers the back and running that 6" duct I am able to pull heated exhaust air out of the room. The side vents are for pulling in Ambient air to cool the coil inside. The air is blown across the coils and heat is exchanged then into the box and out the duct. As for the front of the AC there's the ports where cool air blows out from the ac and then theres the grill that takes in cooled air in that room and recirculates it.

Works well. I can provide the link if you need.

hi h/h,did i read correctly that your relative humidity is between 12-25%..if so thats way too low..ideal r/h is between 45-65%..mine went down to 35% and the leaves closed up into little umbrellas to try to maintain moisture..then again i probably read it wrong

[HolliHerb]

Yeah, like currently its night cycle and my RH is 16. temp is 75.

I don't seem to be seeing much leaf curling down. things look normal

[tuffgong69]

oh well if its looking ok no worries..may be a more tolerant strain(desert genetics)..had a look at mates grow one time and his r/h was at 25ish,seemed to get away with it..look forward to seeing grow pics..will have to get round to posting mine soon,never seem to get round to it..good luck mate,tg

Hey HolliHerb, do you know if the huts by HTG supply kill the plants like the hydro huts did? I know it was because the inside white lining was made from PVC and it put off some kind of gases that would kill the plants.

Other manufactures use PE because of this, that doesnt put off gases.

[HolliHerb]

The Huts at htg supply does not have that problem.

I think the manufacturing companies know of the issue and has changed their material.

I have the small version of my tent as well and that has been running for almost two years.

I can't find the link but I will search, They explain everything on that page. If I find it I'll post it here.
