Hey guys, really enjoying ILGM and their products. Already grown some s.s, w.w and n.l outdoor but security was a real issue for me so I decided to go indoor.
Just got finished setting up the room for an indoor grow. It’s a self built 13 by 4, 8 by 10 flower/veg and 3 by 4 clone, mother, veg, breed room. Ventilation provided by 4 inch 120 cfm intake fan/filter and 4 inch 200 cfm plus 100 cfm booster as the exaust. The negative preasure is is awsome, Lighting is 3 1200w Hollandstar full spectrum LEDs. Got 15 s.s, n.l and a.h to add to the mix but a bit apprehendive since my Temps are in the low 90s range. Still waiting on 2 ocilatimg fans that hopefully will solve this issue but any advice or help would be appreciated. In the mean time here’s a few pics of the babys.! And a short video of the setup. Happy growing guys.
I think you need more powerful intake and exhaust fans. Let me do some quick math - you have these for intake:
A single 4 inch fan that pushes/pulls 120cfm, and a 4 inch 200cfm + 100cfm for exhaust (300cfm total).
Your space is 13x4 - Ill assume standard 8 foot ceings. That’s a total cubic feet of 416cf. With your current intake fan you are able to recycle the air in your grow space every 3 minutes, roughly. I think that’s probably okay, but I believe we are shooting for something more like a complete refresh of air every minute (so for your grow space a single 440cfm fan would work for intake and the same for exhaust).
Check out the video … oh and actually its 6 foot tall so it’s aprox 260 sq ft… there’s plenty negative preasure when the systems running, I was thinking about adding 2 or 3 5 inch intake vents to the tent. What do u think?
@Dwayne tour set up sounds nice
I think youll be ok witn the exhaust and intake set up you have as long as heat isnt a issue
You can always step it up if you need to
I tried to check video out but it doesnt play
Maybe posting a few stills would work
Keep us posted
Ladies doing quite well … been 10 days since I put them inside 8 days in the actual tent. 4 clones and the 2 larger S.S started to flower cuz they all started outside and my daylight hrs are 12/12. They have now almost fully reverted bk to vege on 16.5/7.5… Using fox farm nuts at 1/4 the rec dose with super strive, and my own special soil/compost/pro-mix blend.
Temp still an issue at 86 degrees and humidity at 68% but for plants in early vege I think it’s ok for now. In a few days should have that issue sorted tho… fingers crossed.
im a first time grower and my first order of seeds are on there way .I have a 3 foot by 3 foot by about 6 feet tall is this area big enough for my crystal fems to grow

Hey brother, so I got the ph kit and the cal/mg yesterday. Tested the water …ph 7.5
This is with a GH kit, still waiting on the real meter. Ok… ph’d to 6 and flushed plants… Runoff ph’d at about 7.5 aswell.
Ph’d another 10gal to 5.5 and flushed again. Runoff was at around 7 … hoping to slowly adjust over the next 2 weeks. Will ph water to 5.5 until soil tests 6. Holding off on the nutes and cal/mg for a few more days, wanna give them some time to stabilize then I should be able to better diagnose. Temp range still kinda high 81 to 86 until I get the a/c which should of arrived yesterday but is now delayed until nest week sometime. All in all I’m satisfied with their progress … oh and I topped them a week ago!! Will upload some fresh pics later tonight.
Youll get it down wait till they dry out and flush agian with 6- 6.3 ph water
Do not feed her anything until you get ph worked out @Dwayne once ph get back to a 6.8 range she will start taking up nutrients correctly
Then you can start feeding again @Dwayne
I’m using a 5 gallon pot for 1 plant At a time until I get some more experience.im growing in an open room actually the corner of my bed room the window on that one side of the room faces east and a lot of sun light comes in that sport but im also going to get a 300 watt led and im going to use a window fan on the other side of the room to ventilate I don’t really have to worry about the smell were i am
Cool thanks this is my first time so I’m taking it slow. One plant at a time is good for me until I get the hang of it I would rather have 1 with good yeild than 5 that get all screwed up because it’s my first time.Thanks
