Okay so here it goes, I'm waiting on my seeds, so basically I'm just making sure my setup will produce a healthy harvest of some DP Think Different. I have a 4x4x7 tent, running an air cooled 1000w hps. My Fan is rated at 435 CFM. I have an additional duct booster fan pumping 200 CFM into the tent to offset the negative pressure and keep my tent from sucking in too much. I will be trying a scrog setup with 4 plants. ( some guidance would be nice on the number of plants to start with.) I have some of FULLDUPLEX'S soil mixed up and that will be my medium. I have a PH soil tester coming in on tuesday and will report back with the levels. I have a hydro logic RO100 setup but no water tester, My local hydroshop tests it for me, and even offers free RO water. I went with 3 gallon fabric pots to promote root growth. My screen will be roughly 24" tall. So that should put the screen about 12-14"inches above the base of the stalk(is this an appropriate height?) As far as watering these ladies i will construct basically a beer bong ( Funnel and hose) to keep them well fed. If you could leave any feedback on things i'm missing or should be doing differently i would appreciate it! Until then, I'll be searching the forums!
 
with those td's you will have a full tent in no time :karma Cloud:
 
Welcome to AFN, sounds like you have the plan,
I don't know about the beer pong. Sometimes
It is better to let it get almost dry for the roots
Sake.

:styles rasta:
 
The beer pong was just way of getting the water in the pots through the screen. Is there a more suitable method of watering a scrog soil garden?
 
Oh yeah, should be epic, and bong will be a good
delivery system

:Stones slap:
 
Almost forgot! CO2! i have a 20lb tank and regulator adjustable from .2 to 2 cfh. In past grows i have used the Co2 bags and just left them in the corner of the closet. With the regulator what setting should i be at? the Calculator i found tells me that if i want to have 1700ppm set it to 1cfh. but this is not accounting for the air replacement occuring in the tent. Should just run it a 1 cfh and be happy that im adding c02 to the environment? or is there a more precise way of giving my ladies what they want?
