Read alot about that advanced promix 4, but i just filled a pot with it for a pepper plant, and man is this stuff loose! How the hell does it support a plant growing with it so loose?
Mylar is more reflective than most if you buy the proper kind but i have always found it easier to just use Flat white Latex.
I have been changing my Mylar funk every three grow. This time I will be putting up paint instead. Easier to clean than replacing it.
Another update… got a smaller 160cfm fan setup for my seedling and clone box and got most of my nutes…seeds should be here tomorrow!!
Looks like you’re getting close… Did you figure out your humidity issue?
Great set up, nice clean, organized. Setting your garden for success
Not 100% yet, still playing with different solutions. Trying to condition the intake air is out for now, I’d basically have to build a second room just like this one and I just can’t do that for now, so I’m leaning towards a dehumidifier and picking tropical specific sativa strains such as Mowie Wowie, Durban Poison, Silver haze.
I’m gonna do this run with 1ea of blackberry kush and mango kush and see what happens to decide.
100% firm believer in “proper planning prevents piss poor performance” 
Small update on my room. Still waiting on my lights and custom frame 
however I did get some seeds in and got those going (see my grow journal here: Ocean's grow bb kush/mango kush
Now for the main grow area, I installed a huge dehumidifier
and am able to keep the space as low as 50 in the room while the outside is 80%+ th but I have to cycle my exhaust fan on at 100% for an hour then off for 30min, as a cycle, or I run it at about 50% constant. I feel like the cycle is going to work out best as i feel like I’m cycling way more air that way…idk why, just feels right 
And finally I also installed some 1/2” pipes along the perimeter, these will serve as the supports to attach my SCROG screen whe. That time comes:
These cloth buckets are 5gal Amazon specials, I’ll start with just 4 plants for this first cycle, but I will clone the 4 I have going and plan to do a perpetual grow, increasing to 6 plants on next grow etc…
I started out only wanting around 1/2# or so, but my wife has really started reading and wanting to make a lot of edibles, so I’ll grow what I want for consumption both ways!!
However as you can see, I have plenty of room to get to even 8 plants in this space, and with the 3 HLG260 lights to start I will be just fine, but I could see a 4th going on if I really wanted to 
looks awesome man, looking forward to seeing what you produce
Nicely done… Nice use of available space…
I just can’t keep my stuff clean and organized… I just can’t do it…
Yeah…it looks nice, the rooms performance however has yet to be determined! Lol…
I’ve always felt like neat and tidy space will improve overall results…must be the military in me
@Ocean have you looked at the Mars Hydro FC series of lights? These are cutting edge lights and decently priced.
I looked at those briefly, but I went with the HLGs and according to usps they should be here early next week, so we’ll see
You will be happy with those lights, they are nice also.
Ok…so after 2 attempts to get some HLG 260 kits here with the latest being what appears to be turned around and sent back according to the tracking…since I’m in need of the lights quickly I went ahead and ordered 3 SF2000 as Amazon is way more reliable. If the HLGs ever do make it, there is a market here for lights so I can easily resell the SF or I can just send the HLGs back and refund due to it taking close to 45 days now…ridiculous.
In the mean time, here is my temporary solution to hopefully keep the girls happy while I wait:
I know that’s not ideal, but it’s all I can do for now.
Now, for my smaller 2x2 cabinet, I did have the exhaust on a 4” 75cf fan to keep the hot air flowing out, but I had that venting to the main room…so today I re-did my ducting for an external exhaust…and since I can smell the girls (even though they are way young) then I know everyone else will be able to, so I ordered a small 4” carbon filter and a better fan (ac infinity S4) to handle that situation here is a pic of the new exhaust routing
