THANX FOR THE IN PUT - My system

[steinway]

Thanks for all of the advise, past posts, good vibes. .
This is my system - so far:

54"x54" grow tent for flower
1k HPS w/ vented hood
6" inline fan w/carbon filter - Y to light vent - speed controler
2 - 6" inline boosters blowing into tent
Neotec ozone generator ($50! works great in a 10x15 room)
exhausted to gutted window air cond (legal but want to be stealthy)
3 - 5 gal buckets w/ waterfarm drip rings, 5" air stones, 10" net lids, Hydroton
- 6" H2O depth
10 gal controler, H2O pump for circulation w/ spigot valve for flow control
- works great to drain system, run 1/2" tube to bath tub 15' away, vacuum out residual with wet dry shop vac
24 gal reservoir w/ 5" air stone
Hanna Grow Check conintuous PH/ppm/EC monitor

I have been running system 24/7 temps are only 2-3 deg higher in tent & NO LEAKS!!! (or leeks)
test/training run vegging Pink Pez clone (test pilot)

contemplating[/B][/B] CO2 system, 2 600wt for more even light coverage, 5k btu window air cond w/thermostat (no central air)
4'x4' tent - 8x4' T5's or LEDs for veg

Nice sounding set up. I'm sure your grow would be very interesting. Are you going to post a grow log?

I do need to document what I am doing and the results. I have 1 plant under a 1k light!!! I should get a good result if I don't F' it up. I can only grow until May 20th, then I am out of town for 4 weeks. This cute little girl will be sacrificed for my education - not enough time to veg and flower.

I am looking for info that compares MH, LED's & T5's for veg. Still have to set up a veg module. Being restricted to so few plants (I may be able to do 6 veg and 6 flower now it is 3 & 3), I am thinking it may be best for MY yield/circumstance to veg them up pretty tall before flower. I would like them to veg out the same as flower time (8wks +/-) to keep an efficient harvest schedule.

My containers are 14", Light/hood 9", tent is 76" floor to ceiling (54x54x76)That leaves about 41" with a 12" gap to light lens. So maybe veg to 14" to 18". I really don't know haw to judge this. I am finding alot of info on SOG but that doesn't seem to practical for my situation (3 plants).

All opinions appreciated.

Here's a good link, this guy vegs for 8 weeks (topping + lst) then flowers for 8. 3 plants in flower at a time, yields 12+ oz.

Thanks for the link. I can use all of the info I can get. The books are great but don't seem to address MY situation definatively.:thumbsup:
