Love the turn around time with them. Unsure if for me it would be worth it due to space & lighting & possible low yield.

Feeding today:

1 to 1 Micro and Bloom for 760 ppm and a PH of 6.2 for 2.5 gallons of R/O. I ordered the rest of the GH ā€œsuiteā€ for the flowering cycle. Iā€™ve been more of an a la carte kinda guy up until now. Iā€™ll also try @dbrn32 suggestion of Epsom Salts during flower.

Iā€™ve been able to manage without up to this point although a couple of times I wished I did. I do have an ac unit but generally when it gets that hot itā€™s being used by us haha.

Iā€™m installing a mini split in my future grow room, but am wondering how Iā€™m going to keep bringing in fresh air without losing all the cool air.

Yeah, Im hoping I can rig up a system where AC only comes on in extreme heat and fan turns off.

Whats the best, a large tank?

If youā€™re going to be running co2 a lot, probably a burner.

Got ya. Really donā€™t want to run CO2. I guess I need to set it up first then see what temps I am dealing with.

Im joking @dbrn32! I meant I donā€™t like the fact I need to run ac and CO2, but I like the fact that you told me the hard cold truthā€¦

Well you could try to fumble through running your exhaust on a recycle timer or something. That would bring some fresh air in and probably not exhaust all of your conditioned air. But your losing out on one or the other at least a little.

I donā€™t remember where you live, or if youā€™ve even said. But bottom line would likely come down to how much of the year you need to run the ac or heat. For 2 months of the year, you could probably get creative and then just go back to traditional exchange. Much more than that I would just bite the bullet and setup an operational sealed room.

In in so cal. Not too hot.

Room is built out with 2x4s and exterior dry wall skin no insulation), door frame with no door, passive intake vent to outdoors, no exhaust/intake fan. 7x4 approx.

With 2 QB288 boards I have seen temps in low 90ā€™s.

Using it to start seedling, veg, clone, etc.

In all reality I could do it without AC, lights run at night.

Do you think a 710 CFM exhaust fan with passive intake(fresh air)would exchange enough air?

More than enough in my opinion. In most circumstances you wouldnā€™t even need to run it wide open.

I know with bottles getting them exchanged isnā€™t bad, itā€™s the initial deposit is usually couple hundred bucks. You could maybe try without and then go with a bottle setup later if need be. The problem with bottles is having to go through with loading them and taking them in. Deposit cost isnā€™t much different than going with a small burner to my knowledge.
