Choosing the right equipment to indoor grow

@Hammer :cry: Are you angry with me? :pensive:

@Mazoo . OH heck no ,iam not mad ?? lol … i took a long nap then had to harvest mine .took me many hours then the internet went down here .so went to sleep then the dog gone internet still down so i called and grumbled lol and they got it working better for now … Sincerely Hammer .:smile:: koala: Hammer

I went and looked at my lite iam using for mother’s and it’s a T8 .Phillip’s brand and its labled -Daylite and the fixture holds 6 of them .and the mother box is home built and is about 32 x 48x 40 tall so i used a standard high bay light fixture . It has a polished chrome reflector . and found it at Home Depot .the bulbs can be had in differing length’s… The main thing i would want is it to control the 2 fans as a separate . then you use one to push air into and the other to pull out . use one to control heat the other to control RH … Hammer .

can you go to the sponsored Deelzer link on the forum. ? Hammer

.@Mazoo . Sorry I did not realize that what you asked for was not in ower buyers Guide . So what iam going to do for you ,is go to shop around at Deelzer .com i will look for the" type package" that your looking for to my best ability . then ill copy link for you … . Will get back to you later . Hammer .

@Hammer
I thought you have mad at me because i asked too many questions :joy::wink:
Anyway, I’m sorry for asking so many questions but I need your help, please.:pray: I hope someday to be able to repay your kindness.:rose:

@Hammer
Well, you already said that t5 or t8 is suitable for cloning and mother plant but I want to know how many watts?

And about fans, what i want to know this that how do i control two fans. Please read once again my previous question about fan controller.

Unfortunately i didn’t understand your opinion. Is your opinion this that i don’t buy dual fan controller and buy one fan speed temperature controller to exhaust fan for heat control and one other fan speed temperature controller to inline fan for RH control.

@ Mazoo . t-8 will be 32 watts .not sure what the t-5’s are regular but both can be had in HO (high out put variety) but the bulbs can be harder to find … Iam not familiar with the one’s listed .i simply go by the referance’s … So let’s try it a little differently . in a environment you want to control the RH and the temp ,how to do this …take 2 fan’s place 1 on the intake and 1 place on the exhaust .hook both to separate or a all in one main controller … If it were me ‘’‘’’ i would buy one that does both .and if i had the choice and it would have a fan speed controller for each. The reason is ,so each can be controlled separately . . my internet is bad at best .had techs on the phone for 3 hrs today .finally got on line 4 min’s prior to finding your post :smile: in my last post .i was telling you that i was gong to look at Complete package deals on line .then i would post a link for you to look at …even if you don’t buy any thing . Itll give you an better idea of what you mite need …Ive seen some that even come comeplete with nutriants . just add electric and plant and water … Now read this … and look at the one’s (the controllers) you have and see if any thing matches what i said :slight_smile: Hammer

Mazoo . my net will likely be down tomorrow and maybe tomorrow , trying to get it fixed for once and for all …I hope . Hammer

@Hammer

Thank you so much and I hope you can solve your net problem soon.

Just please note that I do not want to buy a grow tent kit that it has all
equipment in a package. I want to buy each of equipment separately.

1- Tent, light and ventilation equipment, Cloning equipment, Nutrients and
Additives for clones and mother plant and maybe a DWC for mother plant if i
don’t want to plant it in the soil and… For clones and mother plant tent(
As you said 3 by 2 by 3 ft).

2- Tent, light and ventilation equipment, Nutrients and Additives, PH and
nutrients management and… For veg and flowering tent.

When I said that you suggest me a good complete package to ventilation, i
wanted that you tell me each one of equipment separately. For example, a
good exhaust fan with enough cfm for tent a 4’ by 4’, a inlet fan with…,
a carbon filter with… Of course as i said before in two cases.
1- With hid bulbs 600w and air cooled reflector.
2- With LED(Maybe two Mars reflector 144 or one Mars || 1200, of course if
they are good or maybe a Zeus. Whichever are better. I want to consult with
you about light soon, too. :grinning::smile:)

@Mazoo . may i ask why separate . the kits are plug and play …
Ive not ever used Led’s so i cannot give advice on them … As to HID them i use. 600 watt dimmable would be good for growing /blooming .For the mother/clones tent 3x2x3 i would use t-5 or t-8 's . in the grow /bloom tent id use a 6 inch inline booster fan to cool the hid lite .hook it to the lites timer .(so it runs only when the lite is on )…for in take and exhaust I’d get 2 blower fans 6inch (…google Can FAN …this will show you the type i am referring) to …you can get a cheaper brand . but i like the design type … get speed controllers for each …they will allow you more control over the environment …Now as to climate controllers .Its really up to the individuals taste .i use separate controls .As to that is what was on hand at the time …then as my grow changed over the years i keep modifying this .:grinning: Sooner or later youll have to take the plunge .and then modifie or change things as to your Unique situation … It is very Difficult for me, to pick for you .As the environment that will contain your grow will have many mitigating factor’s … Hope you understand .?:slight_smile: Do you mind if i ask you a question ? iam always curious … What country are you in ?? Hammer

@Hammer
I’m sorry for delay and thanks for your guidance.
I want to buy separately because I can choose whatever I want(selection)
I know that it is not curious because i ask you question but because I asked a lot questions only about fan controller, I thought that you might think why I ask many questions only about one thing:slight_smile:

@Hammer

So you think that is separate fans better than a dual temp and humidity control.
So they can’t control the air tent automatically according to conditions very well. And it is better that i control each of fans separately.
Which one of controllers do you suggest me?
1- Variable fan speed controller
2- termostatic fan speed controller

In termostatic fan speed controller when room temperature falls below the thermostat’s set temperature, does fan controller turn off fan?

@Mazoo .[quote=“Hammer, post:51, topic:6949”]
…Now as to climate controllers .Its really up to the individuals taste .i use separate controls .As to that is what was on hand at the time …then as my grow changed over the years i keep modifying this .:grinning: Sooner or later youll have to take the plunge .and then modifie or change things as to your Unique situation … It is very Difficult for me, to pick for you .As the environment that will contain your grow will have many mitigating factor’s … Hope you understand .?:slight_smile:
