Stelthy's 600W Hps Project! (New-Cab)

[stelthy]

And the only other thing would be to make sure it is exhausting into another room or out a window to prevent heat build up, but it sounds like you have that covered

And add some C02 when you get a chance, go on CL and find a bottle or get one from a Fish Tank store that specializes in plants and what not, that's where I go mine and have been running the same bottle for at least a year or so. It makes a HUGE difference in plant growth especially if you run higher temps, you can double you plants size and yield

Hi dude, I already have co2 in there I bought a JBL micro setup with regulater for 120 quid, but I cant turn my fans off or the room will cook from the 600s heat output, I used co2 on my last grow and your right is does make a huge difference I'll find a way....... - STELTHY

Yes sound deadening mat i think all that stuff would work pretty well. The dynamat would prob be the cleanest look and I know how u r! LOL!

Lol, ok lol Well ill look on Ebay in a min and try n order some cheers man - STELTHY

 

[stelthy]

That Rhino filter looks awesome Stelthy, about how much did it cost ya?

Hi dude that one was 110 Quid or around 220 Dollers I am ordering another the same, either for a spare or to run a slightly different setup in the future, but its good to know I'll have everything to hand so as to speak - STELTHY

Hey buddy, lemme give it you straight from a person who eneded up using about 4 different forms of sound deadening. Everything they have on the market will not make a centrifigul, or even inline fan noise dissapear. Inside my fan box, i used Green Glue in between 3/4 inch thick plywood sandwiches, Mass Loaded Vinyl on the oustide of that, and then accoustic foam in all of the empty cavity, and albeit my fan is a bit quieter, its not nearly noticable for the amount of skrill i dropped into it.

My one suggestion for you would be a variac instead. Its basically a voltage regulator you can use as a fan speed controller that wont make it hum.

Ok so the spraying's not perfect but that's ok cos I need to get some new tubs as I accidently broke the other one earlier so Ill use this one for practice, the lids however are ni on perfect so that's good, I'll do the new tubs tommoz, then I will adjust my shelf to take the bigger res. tubs and re-cover it so watch this space, its going to be a busy week!! - STELTHY

While using the speed control is good, I have one but he is looking to keep it cool so you need as much air flow as possible

Thanks stelthy. That's a better price than we were quoted at the hydro store. But we would still like to make our own anyone know where someone can buy charcoal matting in Canada?

With a bit of luck I should be picking up some new res. tubs and some more spray paint today and depending on my bank statement I may decide to buy either a 250 or 400 LUMATEK ballast to put into the equation decisions ..... and then I will cut my new shelf holes for my larger 10l res. tubs and finaly re-cover my grow shelf that should keep me busy for most of today.. wish me luck - STELTHY

 

[stelthy]

THIS IS WHAT I MANAGED TO BUY TODAY.... a 400W PRE-USED LUMATEK ballast from the hydro shop a real bargain at only 120 quid I got 2 new res. tubs to spray propperly a new can of black super gloss spray, the postman delivered my in-ducting mini turbo in-let fan, ...no need for big in-line intake fan now - much more stealthy I'll add close-ups of both the new duct-fan and the new 400w ballast, I got a 6" connector pipe for the ducting to a huge 6" Odor Sock up in my loft and a 6" Jubalee clip for ease of access to my bulbs in the cool-tube behind the 2ND Odor Sock in the grow cupboard (better than silver tape, this section only) - STELTHY

 

[stelthy]

@ a snip.. from my hydro store an x-show model... 70 quid off same cost as a 250w, a 400 for only 120 Quid..unmissable bargain :.. I'll get the 250 sometime next week and I am all set. I am not going to bother with the 1000 cos I doubt I'll ever get to use it and I ve seen some crazy mad results with a 600! now I can alternate ballasts depending on outside temps my unit can pull in to cool the light in the cool-tube - STELTHY

 

[stelthy]

My newest fan actually fits inside the 6" insuluted ducting from the Odor sock in my loft to my in take on the side of my grow cupboard the only thing really to disguise at the end of the day will be the inlet ducting, I like the idea of curtains that someone mentioned, we'll see how this goes later - STELTHY

 

[stelthy]

I've started to spray my new res. tubs but due to having to spray multiple coats of paint I still have more to do on them today, so I'll just add pics when they're finished...and even though I have painted the lids black I still plan on covering them with silver tape A) to increase reflectivity and B) extra protection from light reaching the root enviroment - STELTHY

[stelthy]

Hi Kushissweet I bought it from my local hydro-store it came in by accident and I got it cheap.........er than rrp. I am sure you'll find one if you type in the name " Prima Klima" in google or maybe E-Bay or summink, yeah this fan is the tits! however when on full power its pretty loud! for me thats ok though cos I will be boxing in the top section of my stealth cupboard and either carpeting it or using sound deadening mat performance wise its quality, I know the Systemair RVK or RBK ones lol, have a temp control but no stat. and they do run really quietly but for performance this one is 2nd to none at the moment - STELTHY

[stelthy]

Cheer's for the rep man! I've been busy spraying my res. tubs today 1 of them is done I covered the lid with silver-tape and filled up the tub litre by litre and marked the tub as I went with a marker pen for future reference, all thats left to do is the other tub tommoz and drill in some air holes in coresponding places, then I need to run air tubing lower into these tubs - connect up the bubble plates and glue gun in place then its time to re-mod my grow shelf to accomodate the new modded res. tubs phew!.... I will upload pics soon, although my PC died last night and my lap-top is not as easy to operate - STELTHY
