Hey@Actousity, in tents I like the Apollo tents, note in that 2x4 tent you’ll likely only be able to get two plants through to harvest if you could go a bit larger, more room for plants.
On the coco, not so sure that’s a good first move, soil is much more forgiving.
On the fan filter, I’d run that all outside the tent, tent-suction-fan-filter. Use some cheese cloth hot glued to the ends of a couple short 1’ or so pieces of duct (bug filters), bend duct so it points down, place through lower tent drawstring openings, exhaust through the tops of your tent(s). Good growing.
Looks like your gona get a good start. Lots of knowledgeable folks here. Don’t forget about the search bar it works wonders when your seeking info.Hey Folks,
Hope this is the right place!
I've been consuming medically for 4 years now and have decided to start growing my own.
I have very little experience in what im looking for and would hope that you folks could provide some feedback with your experience.
This is in Canada
The grow setup that I've decided to do is:
Im on quite the budget, (1000$)
All products off amazon
4ftx2ftx5ft tent - Mylar 600D
Two Viparspectra reflector series 300W LED
Active air 400 CFM inline fan 6 inch + speed adjuster
Phresh 701265 Intake Filter 6 x 12 inch 450 CFM Carbon filter
1 6 inch clip on fan (maybe 2?)
LED Glasses,
Garden Sheers and clippers
60x 120x pocket microscope
Coco-coir Base
Perlite
General Hydro's Flora gro, bloom, and micro fertalizer,
General Hydro Calimagic
and PH Balancing kit.
I already have everything for the germination and incubation process.
Any suggestions to this set up? should I change anything?
If using a 4x2x5 tent with a 400 CFM exhaust (carbon filter on the inside of tent as a sucker) should I use a small intake fan or will the negative pressure be enough?
Im leaning on two 300W LEDS instead of one CMH light as I would eventually like to get another 2x2 tent for flowering and use the 4x2 for the veg / seedling process so I can rotate between two harvests every 5 - 7 weeks instead of 10-13
i run a 2x4x5 tent,and mentioned already put the fan on outside of tent,i have run 6 comfortably in the tent in 1 gal pots,flip to flower when they get 16 in tall and train a lot ,yep ,do it over my tent would be a 4x4 if i had the room,just so less plants equal volume by bushing them out,in the 2x4 tent 6 is crowding them but still doable,if you just let um run straight up,with training crowded,reason for the 16 in veg height to flip for me,after stretch you might have about 1 1/2 ft of room between light and the filter,i even built a plywood lid for the tent and mounted filter and fan outside on top,wouldnt pull enough heat out of tent with same rig,400 cfm,went with filter inside hose from filter to light threw cool tube to hose threw tent to fan pulling instead of pushing,got me threw 4 months of triple digits but had some very sad looking plants,next run setup this way went problem free,,but ya id go 4x4 for the room and bushed,training them bitches to go horizontal and laying on edge of pots open all bud sites to the light,you can veg longer also,i bought the 2x4 for a dry and veg tent ,wound up using it for the source and it has sucked all the way,small containers in a crowde tent dont give much yield but less plants in bigger pots trained will fill that bitch upHey Folks,

Lyou don’t need an intake filter if you are filtering smell. You need a standard filter. The 4” phresh filter is small and cheap but works great. I use one in a 3x3 still sometimes.

Don’t waste your time with those lights. Buy some quantum boards.
Will 4 inch filter be enough to filter out a good 95% of the smell? I live in a shared residence
It does for me. Fans and filters are sized to the space used in not more power less smell.
Do you have any suggestions for canadian brands or suppliers for quantum boards? one of the hardest problems i finding are reviewed products, or lighting systems that arnt 600 CAD
