yes yes I know about the schwazzing and defoliating the plant along with topping, screening, training etc bro lol

okay so another question and I'm not trying to get you guys to give me an GUARANTEED answer...
I'm asking more of IF YOU HAD THIS SET UP I'm attempting to create WOULD IT BE EFFICIENT FOR YOU IN GENERAL TYPE OF ANSWERS...

like reading it on paper, DOES IT LOOK GREAT ON PAPER TYPE OF ANSWERS YA KNOW LOL

how about 2 600 w hps lights with 2 air cooled hoods and ballasts IF I decide NOT to add an co2 tank, still possible??

I feel like I'm short selling myself with two 600w lights in attempt to equal out to 1000w

but coverage coverage coverage is the goal but I NEED LIGHT PENETRATION INTO THE PLANTS
so I probably will add the co2 tank.... will this help the 2 600w lights??

but if I do will the light of 2 600w hps with the 2 air cooled hoods and c02 tank do the trick of yielding 2 pounds and a half ????

assuming the LIGHT COVERAGE IS THERE from the 2 600w lights..

BUT if I was to buy ONE double ended 1000w light with an AIR COOLED HOOD to stretch the light through out the tent
would that be a enough coverage and light for all THREE plants?????

and I also thought about adding a combo of ONE 1000w HPS DE + 600W HPS + c02 tank .... how does this sound ??

the goal RIGHT is construct the FOUNDATION of the system to yield this amount without question even if I have to make changes which is why I am here...

I will make the changes to be efficient as possible in all areas

Something I forgot to include to your detailed list of items was circulation fans. Oscillating fans that blow across the plant tops. Very important.

got it on the list

these are high quality strain, no?? anything better in mind??

**JungleChild** · 06-20-2019, 04:49 PM

Toker1 most are either 75% indica or PURE indica

critical cheese indica dominant with yields of 500+ from dinafem - THC 18-21%

cookies kush pure indica with yields of 500+ from barneysfarm - THC 21-24%

pineapple chunk pure indica with yields of 500+ from barneysfarm - THC 21-25%

along with the others I've picked out that I didn;t list

so how would they not work in a perfect environment???

**JungleChild** · 06-20-2019, 04:55 PM

Toker1

that's wild I had incredible bulk on the list as well

along with gorilla candy, white siberian, tangerine dream, borderliner xtrm, gelato, chemdog, thc bomb, amnesia haze, violator kush, royal domina, tangerine dream, critical jack, critical +, critical 2.0, and violator kush

anymore you recommend for STRONG yields and great potency ???

**JungleChild** · 06-20-2019, 05:29 PM

HappyDaze Toker1 yeah... I'm just saying it's not as hard as people think it is ESPECIALLY when you have the right set up

you just have to be disciplined to feed, observe, train & treat your plants with proper care as they grow accordingly

but I do believe most of it advertised for sales that's why I did research on them before I picked them

btw does anyone know of anyone pulling fresh air from an air vent ?? maybe with an adapter????

I had a great idea to have some like this

if someone steals this idea and gets rich, know that I know I made it and presented it to the internet first! l

the idea is for me to unscrew the old vent and replace it with this new one while still functioning and pulling fresh air into the tent !

Yeah, been doing that for years.

is that intake or exhaust on the vent you have Toker1 ??

and I guess I could take one of these, connect the duct hose and wire it to one side of the vent through the 4 holes on the adapter thing

Toker1 gave you the best advice. Start a little small and grow into it.

I understand better now what your goals are, and here's how I'd get there. First I'd set a budget, and try hard to stay within it. The sky is the limit with what you can spend on this hobby and setting a cap on the $$$ investment will help you make good decisions. I'd go with the 4 x 8 tent and get an inexpensive 1000W dimmable electronic ballast that'll power a MH or HPS bulb, with a good vented reflector. I'd get a good 6" can fan, paying attention to the air volume it can move, and the noise it's going to generate and hook it to a good carbon filter. They're not all equal and good equipment will have the numbers available, so you can compare. Dress out your tent with all the little stuff you mentioned and build a basic 4 x 5 gallon bucket RDWC setup with a decent sized control rez in one end of the tent. Run it with the genetics you've selected, feeding them whatever you prefer and see where you're at after at least 2 or 3 runs. Then you can make some educated decisions about how to get from an easy pound, to 2+, and you'll have the basics to get there.

Maybe you'll discover that you need supplemental cooling or heating or a dehumidifier or a chiller and maybe you'll see that you don't. You'll only come to those conclusions by actually running in the environment where you live and grow over a period of time.

Here's a good example of a limit on my grows...humidity management. I'm in Alberta, Canada and during the winter, it's 30% RH in my basement, pretty dry to start seedlings, so I throw a desktop humidifier in my room when I kick them off. Six weeks later, the room is pretty sweaty from the plants and room temps are high. You know what I have to worry about then? I worry that the vent on the side of the house is going ice off, block the exhaust and my plants will get fried. Not something I foresaw when I thought about my grow room humidity. Should I buy a dehumidifier, heat trace the vent, bring in a new cooling air supply just to cool the lamp and buy all the controls to regulate temps or go outside every night and kick the lump of frost off the vent cap?

The point is, there's no way you're going to realize all the things you'll run into, until you knock your head against them.

I'm looking forward to seeing how you do. Please keep posting as you progress, it's fun to see people get growing and succeed.

Btw, if you ever do have an idea...patent it first before sharing. Putting it on the internet first is no right to claim. In fact, Putin it out on the internet does quite the opposite. I believe It becomes public domaine.

most def. brother! beautiful information! adjustments in real time is the only key to conquer limitations the future holds!

also wanted to ask what are you favorite strains to grow?
