Thanks. I'm actually reading about making a chiller from a humidifier & a wart coil. Can I keep the resavuar & chiller outside the grow room & still keep it sealed?
This information is worth it's weight in gold, I really can't thank you enough!

Sweet!
So regarding the charcoal filter. Can I just hook up the fan to the filter, or should I hook up some ducting to the intake of the fan , & then attach the filter?

Yeah, you can just add the fan (intake side) directly to the filter.

Wow, this is soo awesome. A DIY resavuar & chiller outside will leave me enough room for humidifier, dehumidifier, & a fan for circulation. Any particular size circulation fan for a 5x5?
Also, do you think a sealed grow room would be too difficult for a 1st time indoor grower?
I'm getting excited, can't wait to get this project going!

The fan used with the carbon filter will help with the circulation so 1 or 2 small oscillating fans will be enough...

Hey SisterMary, I'm thinking of also seting up a second grow room for veg. How big of a grow tent do you think I would need?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I'm looking at either a 2x2ft or a 2x4ft gorilla tent. 2x4 is 1.33sq ft per plant.

2x2 is only about 1/4 the size of your flower bed so it's likely too small and I don't like rectangular spaces for a single light so you may want to get the 3x3 which will also leave some room on the sides for fans, humidifiers, etc...
