I see what you mean about the 1000's! I was debating going to 600's but I have similar results as you with 1000's. Seeing them both side by side, yep. I'll stick with my cheaper to buy but more expensive to run 1000's. The results speak for themselves.

The beds are looking wonderful, it's gonna be nice and full in there. 1000w are def the way to go.

Damn GM this is a kick ass DIY you are one handy mofo, much props man. On your 600's have you thought of using a light mover and droppin em closer to the plants.

holy crap, this guy definently has been doing this a while.. great setup man. I'm loving the organic.

Michael_Eaton · Feb 23, 2010

Soooo clean, I love it!!

2 Questions though:

How do you get the soil out of the beds when you're done?

And what hose system are you using? Did it include the pump? I'm sure it's adjustable...

Nice updates GrowMaster! That's very interesting blowing air into the carbon scrubber... :cool I've been trying to figure out some variations of ducting and fan placement for a 2 hood setup. Any suggestions or opinions on the appropriate sized CFM for two 6" AC hoods at 1600W total in a 4x8 GrowLab? Hahaa, I have a similar floor fan, and I'll do my best to follow your design for the active air intake... ;)

Thanks bro, ya u should be good with 1, 6" fan in there, and maby a speed controller to slow it down a little bit......GM

Ya With a big plastic shovel and a wheel barrel
And what hose system are you using? Did it include the pump? I'm sure it's adjustable...

It a submersible pump with a short water hose and wand, very basic and simple.....GM

thanks bro !!!! this room is bad ass ill be watching this one !!

hbstoner · Feb 24, 2010

Very clean setup... one of the best tent threads ive seen. Keep the pics comin!

Malachi · Feb 24, 2010

I use 2 - 430's in my 4x4 tent. I have a buddy that grows with a 1000 in his 4x4 and I consistantly get a better yield then he does. 1000's are the way to go in a setup like yours, but I like the 430's for my application because I can get them like 6-8 inches from the plants tops. I think his 1000 he can't get any closer then like 16-18. So I am getting way more lux to the tops then him even though he has 20,000 more lumens then me.

Very nice tent grow. Like the HVAC fudgery, very nice!!!

GrowMaster · Feb 24, 2010
