first timer question

[wjr]

ok guys just about to get my first grow under way im getting a 600w light going to have it set up in the spare room and make some skeleton walls out of panda film going to do a 4 plant system could anyone recomend the dimensions i should use to get the most out of my light....second question is could i just leave my ducted evap aircon on with the window open a bit while the lights are on for my ventilation the dimensions for the spare room i will be setting up in are 3m x 2.6m hope i have explanined it properley

[jimbojones5678]

The perfect space for a 600 is 1.2 x 1.2m.

 

Your aircon might work but I'll leave that to someone else who has experience with them.

Hi WJR,

You could use your evap but this will increase the humidity in the room and could cause mould. Also when you go 12/12 you want some sort of filtration for the odour or the neighbours will know. One of my rooms had no filtration and the woman across the street from me complained that it was causing her to break out in hives, now whether the hives was true or not I don't know but you sure as hell could smell it 100mtrs down the road. NOT GOOD.

Hey wjr =), Try looking at 200-250mm centrifugal fan and a 250mm x 500mm Carbon filter, set you back a bit but worth every cent in stealth. Merlin1 is spot on with the Air con, Evap will raise humidity. Maybe wait till it cools down........give ya time to set it all up

all taken on board grasshopper will purchase both of them...so with my room im going to double up the panda film on 5 tent pegs so i can make the 1.2 x 1.2 grow room i use the tent pegs so i can just open it up and walk in there will still be a gap between the floor and start of panda and same with the celling will i need a intake fan as well or will the centrifugal suck fresh air in to the grow room while expelling the old air out the window and how much noise do the centrifugal make hope all that made sense

Most centrifugal fans are pretty darn quiet.

If your making a skeleton wall you will have to be careful on the exhaust as you may have a collapsed grow room.

The air flow is important coming in as well as going out balance is what your looking for so do some homework in what you are going to use for both.
