theres no issue of over watering when flushing?? ive basically gatherd that but 3 gallons of water into the pot after slicing more hoels into it?il go back and read ur flushing thing and look abit more on the net and try that, how do closet grows work there must be a different way this room has a bathroom in the way of the bedroomwich has the window.... i got the exhaust all fixed il check tmep here ina min it should reduce huge... for cool air ... any ideas? and il get reading on fliushing because ive been using hydroponic nutes and schedule for a soil setup so i spose flush is definite .... thanks for the help guys looking for the feedback

Well.. it's 3 times the volume of the pot with PH'd water after you've drilled additional holes into the sides of the pot. So if you have 2 gallon pots, you will need to flush with 6 gallons of water.

Closet grows are usually a PITA unless you can cut holes into walls for your air exhaust and air supply. Can't you just pull in cool air from the bathroom?

for cool air i could go the hoel as exhaust above the bathroom into the bedroom closet behind the bed out the window with a small inline fann and tubing .... how big of a fan and tub would be needed for the area /light/plants ratios

You don't have to go all the way out the window. When I said fresh air I meant cool air that comes from outside of your grow environment. You will want a passive intake at least the same size as the ducting you have run in your grow area, which to me looks like 6" diameter ducting.

Technically you're running a big enough exhaust to be able to satisfy your room provided you had an adequate passive intake system; which is where I think you problem lies now.

just the air from the bathroom?? it doesnt need to be from outside the building?? yeah i can do that it would be like 22- 24 would that be fine? and shoulod i go to the hydroponic shop i get the stuff at and get nutriants for soil??

Yes, the air from the bathroom is fine. You just need cool air from outside your grow area. I would recommend you get some soil based nutes.. Fox Farms is a very popular nutrient line for soil.

In regards to the inline fan. A second inline fan would be beneficial if you set it up to exhaust the room and had your open end of your air cooled hood pulling air from the bathroom as well...

However if this is not possible then there is no need for a second high velocity fan really.

so the open hole inthe hood put duct into the bathroom and it will bring cool air into the hood..... will that be enough for the room?..... pic of the wall i could put a hole in....does it matter if the hole is at the bottom or top of the room

[daihashi]

bottom of the room would be best as it would allow the cool air to rise from the bottom of the room and cool as it went up to the air cooled hood.

Putting it at the top wouldn't really cool the bottom of the room very well, and this is where your plants are. You want to create a cool buffer between the canopy and your lights.. which a hole at the bottom would do that much more efficiently than a hole at the top

for veg , would plant prod all perpous fertilizer 20-20-20 be good for soil nutes? and flowering plant prod fertilizer 15 30 15 be good for flowering nutes.... so cut 6 inch hole at bottom and get some kind of fan to suck it into the grow room? or just an open hole for air to pass freely? or am i mis understood on how to maximize the use of my 465 cfm fan already into the hood in pics above......?? my tap water is about 6-6.2 ph should i get lie 9 gal and rais to 6.8 and flush them??? all this should put me back on track righto???????????

Just leave the hole. You would be hurting the intake by putting a fan there. Unless the fan is also blowing in 465 cfm, you are only creating a bottleneck/chokepoint. Passive intakes (just holes with no fans) work best when you have an active exhaust running.

Yes you want to flush your plants out at about 6.8 - 7.0 ph. This will raise your run off ph to about 6.5-6.8 which is where you want to be.

In regards to your plant food.. I am not a fan of the all purpose plant food. It is often times too hot and not very good quality at all. The cheapest soil based nutes at your hydro store are better than the best all purpose nutes you get at your department store.

You should be heading back to the right track.

Out of curiousity what are your temperatures now with the 6" passive inake hole and with the fan running as an exhaust?
