help me make a little decision
    #7483561 - 10/04/07 01:36 AM (16 years, 3 months ago)

well i am going to start growing canna very soon, i have a cab built and i am shopping for lights fans etc. so anyway my question is this, i am going to have 4 plants under 1 400w hps digital ballast cooltube setup, and i am either going to get a 250cfm or 440cfm in-line centrifugal fan, the dimensions of my cab are: 5'3x32"x31", (height, width, front to back),

do you think the 250fm fan would be Strong enough to pull all the stanky air out of the cab and thru the cooltube and then blow it thru the carbon filter?

i would much rather go with the 250cfm then the 440 because it is about 50 cheaper plus i wont have to buy a fan control to control the speed of the 440,

BTW. i am no newb when it comes to knowledge of anything cannabis related, i have been a stoner for 12 years, and have read a hell of allot about growing over the years, and also hangout on growing boards so i know all the basic techniques and abbreviations and such (lst fim topping cloning etc)


thanks for taking time to read this thanks ahead of time


peace out Dm

alright good, do you think 4 plants is a good number to put under a 400w hps, the plants will be lst'd pretty good too

yeah i know a 400w could handle more but i would rather have 4 plants with nice dense buds then 6 with not so dense buds

all plants that you treat right will have dense buds(if you have OK genes) no matter how many plants you have.
Ever heard of SOG? do you really think 25-30 plants get shitty light buds?
Well they don't.
The only difference is that the more plants; the shorter veg-time is needed and you get more harvests/time period.

yep i know sog, scrog, all that, but if you have 4 plants under a 400w then they will probly yeild as much as 6 plants would, i mean the more light a plant can get the healthier and the bigger the buds are (2 a point of course),

see if you look at a sog grow the plants dont get huge buds on them because they arent getting enough light,

i believe everything i have said in this post to be true but please correct me if im wrong


peace out Dm

Yes but it will take longer!

Quote:

no, number of kolas would be the strongest determining trait in how big your buds will be: One giant tree with one giant kola would give you one giant bud and a few small ones, four lst'd plants will give you a bunch of kolas and all will be small, same with 6 plants(fewer kolas/plant but the same total amount).. As you where aiming on LST you where aiming for many small buds anyhow.

i dont agree with you nalim but i dont want to argue with a mod, so thanks for the help,

anybody else think a 250cfm fan will be enough?


peace out Dm

i had a grow box that was 6 foot wide by 5 foot tall by 5 foot deep and a 218cfm fan through a cool tube did a great job,

Me being a mod doesn't matter. It's not as if I believe I'm always right because of that, and it's not as if I'm going to ban you for disagreeing with me:tongue:

Me being a grower does matter.
FD has also done his share of growing I believe.
So 2 growers are telling you what they think and you disregard it.
If you don't want to listen to advice you shouldn't ask for it.

Yes but it will take longer!



i dont see why 4 plants would take any longer then 6? i dont get it, im not trying to be an asshole or disregard what anyone has to say im not like that, but i dont get why four plants would take longer to grow then 6,


peace out Dm

depends how big you get them

but think of this...
in a sog all the buds grow at the same rate because they are all clones of the same mother plant. the canopy is even and there is less distance the light has to penetrate.
overall for indoor a sog is the best way to maximize yield. but it is worse on the legality end than growing only a few plants.
