Taking The Leap: 4'x4' and 2.5'x2'

Hi,

This will be my first full indoor grow and before I take the final leap and build automatic feeding infrastructure I wanted to share my plans in hopes of getting some beneficial feedback from the pros.


I have 2 tents (4'x'4x7' and 2'x2.5'x7') located in the same room.

The smaller tent will be for vegging plants:
  • 200W BlackDog Phytomax LED provides full-spectrum light with added reds and blues in hopes to grow the plants more stout
  • 4in exhaust fan w/ carbon filter
  • 4in desk fan in the tent to circulate air.
  • 4in intake ducting with screens on the ends

The larger tent will be for flowering:
  • 600W HPS light and digital ballast
  • 6in exhaust fan w/ carbon filter
  • 4in desk fan circulating air
  • 6in intake ducting with screens on the ends
Outside the tents in the containing room I have the ability to root clones but not enough light to keep mothers.

I plan to flower 6 plants at a time which I think the larger tent has enough space/light to support. I'm having trouble deciding how to setup the veg tent. I can't see anyway to house a mother and the space for the amount of veg plants I want to cycle into the flower.

I want the large tent to have a "rain gutter" hydro system in which rain gutter run under the buckets which are above and have a wick device which transfers the nutrient to the grow medium. I can build this with confidence for 6 plants.

The small tent I dont know how to water, maybe with top fed 1/8" black tubing and distributor cap so that I can reposition plants as they enter/leave the tent.

Really need advice on the veg tent and confirmation on the flower tent. Any other advice is much appreciated! Thanks
