Sorry I'm late. Got a spare chair? Will be adding a veg tent to my setup, so this is a great thread to get some tips and hints. Looking good thus far. Hope you dont mind if I ask lots of questions @midwestdensies :D

Will use tent to veg and have a 10' x 10' bloom room. As never having run tents I have a little trepidation on heat management. Summer is coming to the desert and am open to any tips and suggestions. Will be looking at either SJ or Gorilla tent prolly in the 6 x 6 size maybe a little larger. I am wondering will a 400 w MH/HPS setup be enough light to veg in a 6 x 6 tent? I have a spare 400 cfm can fan for ventilation. Do you think that will be adequate?

Peace

That 400 w should be enough for that tent if you're just vegging. That fan should be enough as well as long as you have it on continuously. Tents definitely get hot quickly….however, with a tent that size and a light that small you should be fine as long as your house is pretty cool.

@Organicyumyum Thanks for the reply man. In the heat of summer here the best ambient temps I can get with the central AC is going to be 80 Deg F outside the tent. So the incoming air will be chilled by the AC like I said it will start at 80 d. Outside temps here get to 115. So the AC runs all day and well into the night. I hope I wont have to buy any other cooling devices.

I will post elsewhere as to not clutter MWD's thread........

L x W x H =cf so proper exhaust is key, saying that superb flow is 3x that of the cf per minute. All fans have cfm ratings. Run passive or add inline fan 50-60% of the exhaust to create a negative pressure and youll be fine. Im running tents on a flip to help heat so just one.light is on at a time @jumpincactus

Really needed to put a proper fan in a tent for proper circulation but tents make it so hard so came up with this idea. A friend actually did who was staying at my place for a few days who happens to be an old head.

View attachment 491899 View attachment 491900 View attachment 491901 View attachment 491903 The plants will be in their final home later today in beds of the cooked soil so i will update that when completed. The stalks are fat as fuck imo and wondering if that small amount of fasilitor foliar and feed helped.

I just started using fasilitor and have definitely noticed stems are way bigger and recover from supercropping faster @midwestdensies

How much work is having a worm condo @midwestdensies ? Been thinking about it. But with a great farm down the road I get some pretty good grade vermicompost for fairly cheap.

Both tents looking nice. Been busy with other things but tonight trellis will go in so we can flip in a few days max.
Brewed an alfalfa based tea then foliared them full strength. Will dilute 3 gallons of tea in 15 gallons of water to feed.
First time using simplicitea tea packs and its nice earthy smell is all i can say for now.
I cant wait for the flip to come because the tents are both on making the temps hot which im not used to. Im used to dialed rooms with ac this is just where i lay my head and have no maintenance or yardwork.
