Ducky's Setup

[KingDucky]

Hey everyone heres my setup I have been gathering over the course of 2 years and some lucky hits in the lottery. I have a Hydrohut deluxe for the main base of growing which Im planning on splitting in half by putting some white Visqueen dead center from the zipper all the way to the other side. There will be two 7gal waterfarm buckets running independantly sharing a small air pump on the veg side which will 2 plants will inhabit each bucket for vegging and to be mothers. The flowering side will have 4 independant 7gal waterfarm buckets to test clones and for flowering. I will just list the rest to sum it all up lol. Advice or comments are welcome

Lights:
1000w Hps (flowering) / TEK 5 Sunlight 24 Flourescent 4 bulb full spectrum (veg)

air:
2 oscillating fans

odor control:
carbon air scrubber which will be cleaning both sides at the same time

Grow Mediums:
Hydroton Grow Rocks, 1.5" and 4" rockwool

Nutrients:
FloraGro 2-1-6
FloraMicro 5-0-1

Couple questions. What is the CFM on your scrubber/fan? What size Hydro Hut did you get. Even if you picked up the DLX, you still need to be moving some air threw that thing or your temps are going to fly.
Also, those water farms are going to probably grow some monsters, don't know if you want to use all of them, depends on what kind of training you are going to do if any. Something to think about. Keep us posted.
Good luck

Sorry, went back and noticed you said that you were using the DLX. Still, I would think about Growing 3 nice size plants, but thats just my opinion.

Hiya ty for the reply was wondering if someone was gonna comment lol. Im have a 4 inch centrifugal fan that im gonna hook up to the Hps light and its be hooked up to ducting that will flow out one of the spare holes on the side. Im only gonna be using 6 buckets and gonna keep 2 spare to swap when I clean out and refill nutriets and clean the dirty bucket etc.Im not sure what the CFM for the carbon scrubber. I tried checking but it didnt say but it should be able to clean the air in the hydrohut. Heres a pic of what it looks like you may have a better Idea on the CFM's

On those Hydro huts I thought that they came with a 6" duct for fans? Also, I thought most air cooled 1000w's also cam with 6" flanges. I think that your 4" might work, but I think that it is a big might. Just be ready to have a back up plan.
Maybe try this, use the fan/scrubber on the grow chamber it self, because you need to focus that scrubber on the chamber because of smell and of coarse heat, and then get a $75 Squirrel cage fan for the hood of your light.
The bucket idea is pretty good. Just remember the bigger those plants get, the harder it will be to swich them out to a new res.
Good luck

Also, get everything set up and then do a test run before you germanate your seeds. You don't want to find out that you have a heat monster to fend against and your little babies are caught in the middle of a fire fight. For many first time growers heat is the thorn in the flesh, so be prepared.
