upgrading

Post by Redz Medz »

hi everyone.
I've been granted a special license by her up on high, to get a bigger grow tent after this run 😁😁😁

so ive found the perfect tent for what i need and allowed 🀣. which is D 90 X W 150 X H 200.
I want to run a 600w, will my 5" s vent still be ok for extraction?
also a 4" intake?

i plan on using the autopots but maybe not with coco this time as bull reckons they ain't the best combo.

so really just after things i may need when upgrading like best bulbs, mediums other must have nutes/additives etc.

thanks for reading 😁

You can probably get away with using a passive intake if you want, that's what I do works great

Auto pots are best to use with soil buddy. If you can commit to daily feedings by hand I would stick to coco but if you struggle move to soil. Soil I would recommend Canna Terra.
If you're planning to use 600w Hps I'd recommend using at least an RVK 6" L1 fan and use thr 5" for intake.
Nutrients if you use soil I believe is the usual Old Timers grow and Bloom.

Good luck mate

Yes Redz nice result mate. Green light from the mrs is always something to celebrate. Maybe write a list of what you have and intend on using and then the gaps can be filled in. How much is the new tent costing?

In fact, for that size tent you can get a light from Invisble Sun and not change any of your extraction. In fact you can run a 5 inch extraction fan with passive intake and save even more on electricity.

to be honest it was more i have all the stuff for running autopots so wanted to use them.
I do work away sometimes but i could always just rig em up if i am away.
that way i could stick to coco and just flush em when i get home.
the led may be a possibility il have to have a look. j have wanted to run leds as i mentioned about the temps in that room. cheers bulls
