With everything coming together now I get to the fun part..picking out gear. The 6 has been so helpful that I have to show respect and run BB! Just too many option looking for very fruity, would love some purple, and a real k.o genetic. I'd want to run 4 lines and find a favorite looking to spend under $400 usd... Any suggestions!?

Dog reg for pros. Fireballs. Plemon. For a combination of dank, diesel, kush, and then some lemon on the side with great vigour. If you like a bit of weight and strength you could always try the new CQ48 which seems to.produce donkeys colas.....then there's the freebies. Maybe ask for JBxlivers for the freebies and you'll get something else as well for sure. With 400$ you could easily buy the whole BB line up at the current sale prices:)

So I don't have a good room to dry in at the moment. And can control any rooms temp and humidity very well. I want to make sure a get a nice slow dry.

So I put my freshly trimmed bud in a boxes and taped them shut. I put a small hole at each end for air to flow through. The boxes are small, and I only fill bud a few inches from bottom. And i have a small window I taped off so I can see my hygrometer without opening the boxes.

So with this method, should I be still looking for that 50 to 60% humidity for drying? Or does it work different in boxes?

50-55% at 70f is what I go for. You'd probably want to turn it once or twice a day.

Whoopee! I can post in this thread, as of this morning! I've been running cheap-ass LED, T5s and CFL until now. Hi!
I just bought a used digital ballast, new DigiMax bulb and a little gull wing reflector for $95. The ballast seems pretty solid, not sure what brand, but I inspected it for wear internally and it looks pretty clean.
I'm running four plants in 5 gallon Smart Pots, organic soil, water-only via Blumat loop, 2 sensors per pot in a 4'x4' tent frame, without the skin.

Anyone have thoughts on what sacrifices I'm making by running my tent 'skinless?' What am I going to lose without the reflective mylar? I wanted better airflow and better access to the plants for pruning, training, and cleaning. Should I put the tent skin back on? What are the trade-offs?

I'm a fucking newb still, kids.

Because someone will ask; I am running RD Scott's OG, DH Strawberry Sour Diesel, and 2 Delicious (Cheese) Candy, all fems. I'm a seed popper.

MH. The tent helps keep light out during dark time. Also. The reflective walls help w overall light distribution. I would be using the tent as designed and get a good fan and filter for it. My 2cents...

I have many fans and a couple carbon filters running in the room, and I have killed the light leaks. I think you're probably right, though, the room in total has positive air pressure and I'll probably have an odor problem. I can't afford that. I'll be able to get negative pressure inside the tent so everything goes through the filter.

I just wanted a little more room to work. Thanks for your input. I'll take pics when it is all re-set up tonight.

I am still interested how effective the reflective material actually is at distributing useful PAR, it isn't a question I've seen the answer to.

I leave my flower tent open for most of lights on. Just zip shut right before lights out. Keeps temps down with good airflow. Having "easy" access to plants is a different thing.
