740 cfm enough to cool 6 600w hps?? + PICS OF MY GROW

i have a 740 cfm 8" vortex fan currently cooling 3 600w hps's. it splits off to a 6" and a 4" ... the 6" goes to the lights and the 4" goes to the veg closet. I will probably get a separate fan for the veg closet but my question is if 740 cfm fan be enough for 6 600w lights? let me know what you guys think.

Also here are some pics of my grow. I went out to take pics of the vent and fan and just thought i'd share the whole grow with you guys while i was at it.

I wrapped the fan in insulation and cling wrap to make it a little quieter (worked but not that well) also hung the fan from some plumbers tape to reduce vibration (also didnt work that good.) and if you like my bucket sink ill tell you how i did it. ANY IMPUTE WOULD BE AWSOME let me know what you guys think

I've been growing for about a year and am finally ready to add the extra lights. Cant wait

Also i grow in soil and that white stuff is a layer of sand. I had a bad fungus nat infestation and putting about a quarter to a half in of sand coupled with no pest strips all but eliminated them.

anyone have anything to say? and yays or nays? let me know what you think of my setup good or bad i wanna hear it. wether you've been growing for ten years or ten days let me know what you guys think.

Dude I need to know the size of your room and if your drawing air in from outside or using air from room, If possible try to feed fresh, let mw know info, whats your setup?

yea im drawing air from under the house and i live in nor cal so the climate is mild. the size of the room is roughly 10x10x9 but the trays are 8X8 combined

For the fan vibration i use bike tubes hang with those for a secure yet vibration free solution

HEy Man your plants are lookin overwatered and this far into buds you getcenter mold and your nods are gonzo, let it heat up, wait til soil or rock get VERY dry to touch before watering, it will get faster then closer you get to the 80% mark, but remember once your at around 50% red hairs change to wateronly its a cleanse for 2 weeks before ripping. You need to mylar your wals n silver, best way to make quick lite wals take a 1/2 sheet of insulation board cover it in mylar and you have removable light reflecting panels that allow access to equipment. You need to space your plants and take your lights and keep either 4 on top n have two hangin on sides no lid to provide 360 degree lights,or keep 2 with lids and drop 4 down 2 on each side of the plants, your plants need more side light because they dont branchout there are centalized budders, Do you have a humidity fan combo switch? , Get a bigger fan and get that humidty control switch its worth the $75, in gold, dude really, You wanna make damn sure you keep that humidity at bay with those plants wilted that is very very wet in there and bad news for such close centralized bud. expand, get a bag od Co2 creatingbinder to pump up the volume last month and a half

Your doing good, the room is 10x10x9 so thats 900 sqft and the iea is to be able to raotate the air in less than 3-5mins, I can tell by pics, heat isnt a prob, A perfect thing for you to do is to invest or even better make your own ebb n flow bucket system, Oxygenate the water and you could easily be knocking out 4 OZ's a week if you employe a seas of green technique, made a small mother and cloning center, If you invested into a enviro controller, Co2 detector and level analyzer, ebb n flow bucket system EASILY dont on your own for 20% of what they want, meanwhile you need larger pots under plants too go to next size "there is a scientific fact that something can only grow as big as its environment will allow, and even tryit outside, on one dig your first 5 holes 24x24x24 FAIR? Now do the next 5 42"x42"x42" and you tell me if I'm fulla shit the, I know cuz i shit myself I rad that, tested and and holy shit 120%-150% more product

ok wow thats alot to address...
First. i water every 4 days or so. and that wilting is not wilting at all it is a really bad def. and thats because i have been watering with plain water for a while now because they are only 2 days from harvest.

Second. I use a microscope to check trichomes and i wait till i see a couple amber ones to harvest. ( more accurate than watching the hairs turn.)

Third. My wall are already insulated and covered with panda paper witch reflects more light than silver anything.

Fourth. I do have a thermostat and my temp stays at 75-80 during the day and 65-70 at night. with humidity around 50-60%

Fifth. I've been growing for a year and never had a mold problem.

and 6th are you drunk i mean what your saying makes sense but the way you typed it is hard to understand.

I've never really wanted to get into hydo cause of all the problems ive heard bout it. but dont get me wrong i have though about it. and those pots i have are 5 gallon buckets. you dont think thats enough? what size pots you think i should get? and i cant grow outside( wish i could ) cause i live in the city.

but thanks for the impute +rep if i could

Sorry recovering from car accident, am 6'6 and have very large hands which are messed up as well, sorry, but I am VERY knowledgabel about this and may be using terms your not used to
FIRST, you need a mic for the trichomes for proper cleanse time like a hole in the head are you serious ? as opposed to simply just watching hair color which happens to be a DIRECT relation to the trichomes and thier maturity, do you realize that?

2nd far I am VERY from drunk, I dont drink , I cant help the fact that I have forgotten more than you know, I can tell you first hand I had a similar setup used an aeroflo120 6 1000W erivro controller, mother room and cloning aeromist system and was pulling down at very least 12z a week mostly about a # average, and i started with a closetwith flourescents, I started from bottom learned it all hard way man,

3rd I am sorry but leaves dont bend over to the ground they stretch to the light, look at ANY mid day pic of plant or inside ones for that matter, they are stretching your heat should actually be upwards of 90 during your light cycle, keep a strong breeze swaying to strengthen stalks,

4th the best reason to 'make an Ebb n Flo bucket system is you can make it fit your room perfectly to maximize potential, no need to worry about watering, root rot, nutrients atc, all easily done with your 55 gallon drum and your 3 chems and a ph and tds meter, maintin perfect PH, maintain perfect TDS mixture, oxygenated water for roots and Co2 for the trees, Its up to you dude, i have a lot to offer think what you will brther

you said you had a temp, but not humidista

you need a humdistat to measure humidity and turns on fan that exist air from room until humidty drops off, or use dehumidifier, not sure how winters are where you are in CA

My friend, they look good !!! I would agree the only thing diff. I would hang a few bulbs down, man it really will make a diff.
Anyway excel. wk.!!!!!!!!!!!!

yea i do have a humidistat and my humidity is around 50-60% and as for the ebb and flow system im trying to perfect what im doing now and then maybe later on i will switch to hydro i just dont have the funds right now. all my money is going to those lights. and as for flushing i usually flush for the last week although this particular strain is new to me and take 8 to 10 weeks before it ready, well this is a first for me i was planning on harvesting on week 8 but they were not ready so now i have to wait till week 9 or 10.

I do appreciate the input keep it commin

it will make a huge difference and I really think you could use the heat in there, I'm telling ya I had been to a many rodeo and a few times I had a sea goin of a strand like that and there was once VERY hearty variety no prob, but the other had a LOt of leaf despise all the fruits goin strong usually like a indica there are very few leaves and are mostly yellow, anyway I never ever had bug problem but those close growing leaved up and bed packed stalks are VERY touchy, just keep checkin in all way between product and trunk, If its moldy cut off the entire thing and bag it, then dry asap and save what you can, if you try and just cut bad it will spread with one simple cut and will make yout 8" top turn to dust" ANy money you save and envest will come back 2 fold in less than 6 months at VERY LONGEST,, you want to automate, but NEVER be at its mercy, dont deoend too much, i learned that hard way as well, HAHAHAHa
