Hey all. My first grow is now over and I got 4553,4gram or 10.03lbs:) Thats 1.1g pr.watt... I ran 4200watt most of the time
To all who said "noob has gone over his head" bla bla bla. haha
I have fixed the air;) I added 6 air cooled hoods and a new 700cfm fan to cool them down. Now I can adjust the temperature from 65 - 85 24\hrs a day;) sw33t!
tnx for the help!
How do you cool your lights? I mean, how many cfl does your fan that is connected to the lights move? I have a 400cfl fan on 3x600w HPS with 4" ducting, but I am wondering of I should get a 700 or a 1000 instead. How do you manage to get your room so cold when you dont have any fresh air coming...
Now I have bought 3 air cooled hoods and those 3 are the only one that is turned on. I also bought a 700m3\h (400cfl) fan that sucks fresh air from outside using a 4" ducting, through the lamps ant pushes the air up out on the roof.
I really dont think it helped much, maby 1 celsius which is a...
Right now I am only running 4 of my 6, 600watt HPS and I barely manage to keep the temperature at 75fahrenheit! I am not looking forward to turning the last 2 HPS on..
What would be better?:
Changing the out exhaust air fan to 2500m3 (70% more than I currently have)
Or
Keep the 1500m3 exhaust...
Does anyone know how much I can expect to get with this system? I mean, Ebb\flow hydro, 3600watt, perfect temperature and very good nutes. If nothing goes terribly wrong I mean.
The 1gram pr. watt, is that just a myth?
I grow the Silver haze strain;) I have heard it`s a heavy yielder!
I found hoods without glass, but it`s not as temperature effective as the ones with glass.
I will report back when I have changed the exchaust in\out.
I don`t have any plants there yet, I want my system to work 100% perfect before I fill the pots:) Carpenting inside the room is way to hard...
Thats what I concluded with. I am getting a 1400cfm to use as a extraction fan. Then I will use mu excisting 700cfm for IN AIR instead.
Thats going to be a LOT of air movement! I really don`t want to use cooltubes!
Does all air cooled HPS have glass in front of the HPS lamp?
Yes, on all of the above, I know how to handle a grow room. I just need to fix the temperature. But I see now what I have been doing wrong, but tnx anyways:)
Why is it more hassle to have 6x600 than 1x600? I use a huge water resorvoir to maintan stable food, PH etc.
I just made a quck paint picture to show you my setup:
Getting rid of the ligts is NOT a good plan:) And how will a lot more fans help me? You do understand that a regular fan simply makes the air circulate, not cooling it or extracting it out for new cooler air to get in?
The way I see it, I have 4 options and will do it step by step untill I get...
