G'day guys,
Long time smoker, first time grower. I'm just about ready to kick off my first grow and have a cpl of questions. I'll start out with my set up. I'm growing in a 1mx1mx1.8m tent, I have a 6" fan and filter, 2 Viparspectra 600w equivalent lights and a top feed hydro system with 9 litre pots with clay pebbels and a complete set of nutes from Canna. My questions are:
I bought a vent combo online, it was only when it arrived I noticed the fan is rated at 342 CFM but the filter is only at 275 CFM, I realise this isn't ideal (I assumed buying a vent kit would mean they had matched the fan and filter). How much of a problem will this 20% difference be?
Is it overkill putting both lights in that size tent with 4 plants? I figured since they are only 276 true watt each it should be fine, also on lights will I need to raise the lights further from the plants if I'm running both?
Finally, after reading articles on this site about Manifolding, I'm pretty keen on giving it a go. Is this readily achievable for a newbie grower or should I be looking at different methods first time around?
Many many thanks in advance!
Nick
