    Where Do I Get A C.a.p. Gen1e Repaired?

    Far out! Thanks Sure hope I get this repaired before it gets too hot around here. I don't wanna go back to a ventilated room.

    Intake Still Needed With Complete Ac?

    You will need to augment CO2 though. The plants will use the ambient CO2 quickly. Your power consumption for the Ac should be less since you can run higher temps with CO2 injection. Fred

    Where Do I Get A C.a.p. Gen1e Repaired?

    I've searched all over Google and no answer. Cap website seems to be non existent. Now what? Anyone ever had one of these repaired? I only used it for three months, then it was in storage for two years. I lost the power supply, got a new one of the correct size, 24v. I checked it as best I could...

    1st basement grow. should i use the fireplace for exhaust?

    I draw intake air from the unfinished half of the basement through the wall I built to create my 14 x 18 grow room. Half of my basement is finished but way too big (24 x 26) for my needs. The basement is 12 feet below grade with a concrete floor so the intake air is a constant 65 or so year...

    1st basement grow. should i use the fireplace for exhaust?

    This is what I did in my basement. I took a piece of 3/4 in. plywood cut 1 foot bigger than the fireplace hole. I cut an 8 in. hole in the center and attached an 8 in. through wall starter duct and taped it tight. 6 in. in from the perimeter on the top and sides I attached one inch rubber...

    Ebb and Flo bucket size for big yields

    Tty, How much lighting do you run over that? I've seen you reference this setup in other threads and wondered if you have a thread somewhere on the construction of this? Thanks, Fred

    4 plants around bulb- square footage?

    I'm wanting to refit one of my rooms and could use a few pointers. I currently use 6x600W in two banks of three vertically in cooltubes surrounded by 10x6' trees in Hempys, 20 plants per room. Obviously the lights can't cover the entire plant so I think I'm going to stack two lights and put...

    switching from intake to sealed help

    In that small space a dehummer would probably be a waste of space and money. The point of a sealed room is control of enviro primarily during lights on. You could just vent the tent during lights off to control humidity. Attach a Y to your filter/fan with dampers on each outlet. That way you can...

    Larger carbon filter recommendations for high cfm?

    Actually that's closer to 30,000 CFM.

    90 degrees w/co2 safe?

    All valid points. Seems to confirm what I suspected. I've started letting the Rh climb to 70% during the day, something I've learned recently here at the Farm. Guess it's time to reinstall the AC unit. I was hoping to get away without it this winter. On a side note, just started using the...

    90 degrees w/co2 safe?

    I'm running a sealed room, 12x12 w/ 3600W - aircooled. Temps are hovering around 90 during the entire light cycle. Is this too high? Threads I've found are all over the map on this. First time running a CO2 burner, it seems to raise temps much more than I anticipated. Plants don't seem to...

    vertical cool tubes... 8 or 6 inch?

    I use the eights.Much higher air velocity than sixes. They're attached to 8in. Vortex fans (747 CFM). One fan cools 6x600W well. Seems a 12in fan cooling 2x1000W would work with even 4in tubes. That's a lot of air movement, not to mention noise. Fred

    6k Soil

    4x8 still seems big for 2x600W. The problems start when you have to raise the light high enough to cover the area. You get pretty far away and may get decent bud in the middle, but the stuff at the edges will be pretty sparse. The light gets pretty feeble at that distance. Most scroggers use...

    6k Soil

    I see a few problems. My 600w cover 3x3 very well. Scrogs as large as yours need 6 lights each just to get 50w per foot. Trying to cover that much area with 2x600w will result in stretchy plants and a lot of popcorn. IMHO about 65w per foot grows good bud (3'x3'). 5 3'x6' scrogs would make more...

    Heat issues

    You definitely need to replumb your ventilation. If you use two intakes hooked to the lights and a separate fan circuit to ventilate the room your heat problems should come under control. With two intakes (8in. flanges and ducting), one 12in fan should cool ALL the lights. Use hard ducting...

    Need help with basement prep!!!

    I think your first step is a good power washer. Hot water supplied if possible. 100 years of dank musty air and creatures beyond imagination, sounds like a lot of work. Better thoroughly inspect any drainage and sump pumps before you start. You could easily blast 50 gal in a matter of minutes...

    Ventalation help for frow tent

    Using the 6in to cool the light and the 4in/filter to remove remaining heat and bring in fresh air makes more sense. Much more efficient. Fred
