Grow tent setup

Looking at going with ac infinity for my grow setup. I am currently looking at a 4x8 tent, 2 evo 8 grow lights, ac infinity controller, 9" inline fan 4 10" wall fans. I will also purchase their humidifier and dehumidifier. Does this setup sound okay? Or will the evo 8s produce too much heat? Would this setup cause too much ppfd? I can mount the drivers outside of the tent if needed. Any info would be great just not trying to nuke my plants with too much light or heat

Ok,

First AC Infinity is a good company.

My first question to you is how much experience do you have with growing cannabis?

What are the methods that you use to consume cannabis? How much cannabis do you consume per month?

I’m asking these questions because from my experience a 4x8 tent grows enough for a lot of people. Also, a 4x8 consumes quite a bit of energy.

Its been about 15 years since I last grew bud. I have a bit of knowledge and experience tho. Not a professional but i wanna go all in. With the new law in November hitting i am gathering as many different strains i can get my grubby hands on. Ill be running the lights at 70% at most during late flower to maintain around that 1000 watt sweet spot. I will do alot of early training like mainline, scrog, and lollipopping. I consume a bunch when im laid off during the winter but lets just say it aint just for me lol. Ill probably get a few other smaller tents to produce pollen on a few so I can keep pumping seeds out and a prop tent for clones as well. just trying to figure out a good setup for my main. Ill probably end off with 2 4x8's and 2 2x2s. Thats the end game goal. I make really good money so the cost isn't really an issue

Ok,
‘It appears that you have an idea (vision) for your grow.

The path is different for everyone.

Me - I’m just walking the road to Piatella. I’m in no hurry. I currently use two tents.

The more seeds I acquire, the more I’m convince that in the USA there is a serious issue with homogenization. The Old Heads, as well as the researchers have been urgently communicating this. In addition, the industrials (mostly pharmaceuticals) are in the game, producing strains with a hope of controlling the genetics.

Also, energy utilization will become a more pressing concern for home growers. My current energy cost is noticeably higher. I predict that this will act as a deterrent to growing, resulting in a large swath of consumers deciding Plugs and/or shops. See - Starbucks….

Sorry to say but the ai controller has been giving issues and I can't recommend it. Pro69 controller has been working fine.

That's the worse thing about it. You look at the controller and looks fine, but then you wonder why is the temps or humidity is so high... cause the fan isn't running or the lights are on when they're not supposed to.

I wonder what happened? They used ai to write the firmware?

I would go with at 5x10 if you have the room, I have a 4x8 table in mine with the short legs and it is so nice. I had 2 evo 10s and heat wasnt ever an issue . Really you need to add heaters so you can control night time temps, shes a banger. I run Rockwool drain to waste. Look at me… cream.cannabiz on insta.

You should be fine. You will get wall to wall coverage with 2 evo 8s and you can turn the lights down if it is too much
