Hey treehuggers, how do those cool tubes treat you temp wise? Is that 4 inch ducting? I was using 4 inch before and it didn't work that well for me, and I switched to 6 inch.

Hey young giver i have a few questions for you. i have a closet grow set up right now, i have 3 plants 2 sativa bagplants and 1 hashplant.

Space 3 x 3.5 x 6
lighting- 400 watt mh

the two sativas are both about 14 in tall and have both been topped, the hashplant is still small but starting to bush out. one of my sativas is showing nice preflowers and is making me happy. i wanted to know what you think about flowering underneath the Mh instead of an hps, im very short on loot btw... i was also wondering what you think i should do for ventalation and some good ferts that i could get for a good price. thanks all

Hello Young Giver.

This is ventilating system is very funny, but I can tell it works.

I use 125mm tubes (5 inch) and ducting is the same. First closet has a reflector that is waiting to get a glass underneth, so we will have air cooled hood. One fan (12 centimeters = 4.72 inch) is inside carbons scrubber, second one (8 centimeters = 3.14 inch) is at the intake in from scrubber to hood, third one (4.72) is at the other end of the hood and the last one at the end of the tube(4.72). They are running on different voltages. From 5 to 12v , depends on how much ventilation i want. I can tune each one seperatly. This closet also has two intake fans to pump some cold fresh air in. They run on 7volts. Temperature on the bottom is 23°C (73F) and on top of the plants about 26°C (78F). When I'll get that glass for the hood, temps will fall....

The double 400watter already has two cooltubes. I use only 2 fans to ventilate one cooltube cirle. (and 2 for intake for each closet - that means that 1 light needs 4 fans - i have 8 fans in the double closet) One in the scrubber and one in the cooltube. Yes it's right next to the bulb. Out-take is above the right closet. This closets roon even cooler. 21 at the bottom and 23 under the light.

I a, quite lucky. My good friend has a special computers shop for computer modding. I bought all my fans there (he had a choice about 150 different fans - size, speed, type, efficency, price, noise...whatever, you name it.

This grow is using 21 fans in total. My philosophy is ...use more fans, as big a s possible, but let them run slow and quiet.


Hello bostrom155...thank you for your compliments...

Oh... long post.. i deserve a hit of Citral...

Take care TH

treehuggers - those are some nice looking cabs there. how many fans did you say you had there?

here are some pics of my current 400w grow. Its a type of parabolic scrog known as a HOG (halfpipe of green). 6 plants in mostly organic medium and nutes. Strains are 2 Durbans, and 4 007s. Oh and this setup has just 2 fans.

hey heres the dank

since i started from seed i started 25 plants.out of those 3 did not germ,and then you have to figure in the male to female ratio in there also.so if i end up with 8 to 9 plants i'm happy. also if you SOG youre grow you can fit more plants per sqare foot.

once i find a good mother from each strain i will cut the number of plants down to say 4 or 5 to let more light to the plants.

find a good mother plant and do a perpetual grow and harvest every 2 to 3 weeks :woohoo:

Hey guys A little update on my 400w grow. I have 4 plants in bio bizz all mix and i am using bio canna nutes.

Heres the garden today its been in 12/12 a week maybe longer i have been distracted laterly.



This a bubblegum top, I liked the way the pic came out hope to have some good pics when this lady starts to put out the buds. I have got 3 main colas as with this bubblegum pheno i think i get trhe best yeild from a few larger colas maybe a few more would be best but hey.



This is my grapefruit plant i have another stashed away somewhere else as it shower male pre flowers. This plant has really bushed out and has lots of tops without any training.

Well keep up the good work, I hope to have some bud shots soon!
good luck with the grows!

Hi young giver, I doubt i could grow in the summer with out the cool tube. My grow area is only just under 4 square feet so i doubt i would be able to use the 400 without it ether. My temps are under 3 degrees above ambient with a 210cfm 5inch inline fan. Plus you can get the plants really close to the light. They are kinder expensive but i think its very worth it.

I would go with the 10 girls in the 2 gallon grow bags. You might be a little cramped, but you'll probably get more than 8 spaced further apart.
