This is what you are looking at?
Yes that is exactly what I brought, because of the limited space that have in my closet.
Growing is not an inexpensive hobby.
You’re telling me. I just went to the store and spent about 100 bucks, looks like I'm gonna have to go donate more plasma this month to pay for what I got. *smiles*
Anywho, I got the following:
Two 6" In-Line Duct fanes
6" duct work
aluminum screen
duct tape
extension cords
Chemical smell controls are band-aids at best - you need removal - and that means a big effin carbon filter:
I have done some research and I have seen homemade carbon filters, and I think that’s what I'm gonna do. *fingers crossed*. I’m hoping four babies don’t stink too much.
Get through a grow or three this way before blowing all your loot on expensive bloom food - especially if your looking at a smallish personal grow.
I totally agree but shopping is my weakness.....hmmm shopping for farming toys....even better.
That grow tent is pretty small - so I'd recommend a 250 - 600w HPS/MH in an air cooled reflector:
I got a 400W HPS but not the air cooled reflector. The light is like the kind you put in ceiling not too special, I think the light and bulbs cost around 25 bucks.
Do you think I can use the one I have in the tent, or if not do you have a recommendation for a cheaper one?
I would design my airflow like this, where each arrow is 6" ducting:
Carbon Filter -> Tent Intake -> Hood -> Tent Exhaust -> Cannon Fan -> Outside a window or into a empty room/storage room
I'm not quite sure I understand how to set up the ventilation system. Can you break it down for me a little better please? I have Noobe Knowledge
Here is a pic of my humble growth.
Thanks again Sedate :flower

Dr Worm said:This setup will filter all the intake air and blow unfiltered dank air everywhere. If you left the air filter inside the tent, then it will suck the air inside and exhaust it out.
Dr Worm said:You can modify that easily by putting your carbon scrubber on your hood.
Scrubber => Hood => Exhaust fan

Hi Robeartobrenton,
Thanks for the link and the advice of the SCROG.....the pics and description is really good. I do however have a little bit more space so if I decided to go with the Scrog, I would have to make some adjustments. I'm not sure though.
