Hello AFN Community,

I have some questions to you.

Since I got convinced by Tangs HS1 Threads I purchased four times the HS1 and decided to build up a maximum efficiency setup.
I will build my box in DIY and need some information from you professional guys. I have some experience with HPS Grows in soil for one year now but want to level up.

My final plan is to switch to High Pressure Aeroponics but before that I will gather some experience with ph/ec in coco in airpots.
My box must be totally silent, that's why I will build it up by myself but also it must be 100% efficient in every way. It will have 2 seperate chambers which will be linked through a hole with an active carbon filter. I need one extra room for long blooming Sativas and one for short bloooming Indicas for my breeding plans. This way, I will only need one filter with one fan.

So here my questions:

1.
I did alot of research but could not come to a conclusion which fan is the most efficient and the best option for me. I need around 1000 m³/h fan. I prefer the TD-Silent from S&P http://www.solerpalau-usa.com/Brochures/Residential_Light_Comm/Inline Fan Options Brochure.pdf.
But efficiency is more important than silence. Silencing is something I can do myself.

2.
What are the optimal measures for 2 HS1 Growlights? I have no idea how the measure of each chamber should be. HPS with an Adjust-a-wing is easier to plan.

3.
Which fertilizer do you recommend? I wanted to use Dyna-Gro fertilizer and I really really would like to use them, but they are much more expensive in Europe then in USA, that's why I need an alternative. I dont like AN with their big advertisements. I want to buy at fertilizer companies which have good knowhow and produce the best fertilizer for hydro that contains all neccessary rar-elements for a reasonable price. I don't like the companies who don't list every ingredient 100% on their web page or on their product labels. I want to buy my fertilizer from serious companies.

4.
Do you think two HS1 per chamber is a good idea for most efficiency or do you have another suggestion?

5.
What do you think about Orca Grow Film? https://www.orcagrowfilm.com/

6.
Which active carbon filters do you recommend. Which do you think has the best price/value? Efficiency is important to me.

I would be really glad about any answer and critique and wish you all a good harvest :)

Hay bro I wouldn't trust that TaNg I've heard it's all CGI lol.

I can help with a few of your questions but not all.

Qs 2&4.... I'm guessing you have the standard 80°x80° diffusers if so I would suggest 2 chambers at 160cm x 80cm with 2 lights in each,it may also be worth investing in 2 of the 90x50° diffusers so you can try using just 1 light for the early stages of flower....I'm guessing you will be vegging in another room? If not you can veg under the 1 light.


Q 3.....have a look at Shogun Fertilisers, there pretty new and I'm hearing good things from friends infact I'm getting some Amnisia Haze that's been grown using them later in the week. I use there Dragon Force which is a rippener and I hold it with high regard.

Q 5...... Mr Gangamoto swares by it and he is are best grower so I can vouch lol.

Q 6...... The best I've used are Rhino Pro and they last a good 18 months, I'm trying Red Scorpian at the moment but it's early days, it stops the smell like most but it's all about how long it lasts.
