Thats not bad, would take ages to get here though.

I dont mind nuying a ready made system. http://www.greenshorticulture.co.uk/Hydroponics-266/

How about the wilma 4 pot system? Im sure you can add stuff to it like a pump etc for oxygen.
Its a possibility and personal choice but I would think that 4 plants and 4 lots of roots would be a tad confined in that system, I am still 100% thinking DWC will give you the BEST results but I ll look into other possibilities too I just wanna find a system that will make use of the great size of you cab...Pleeeeze go with DWC you wont regret it :) - STELTHY :leaf:

Not as bad as i expected even if i do have to buy. http://www.greenshorticulture.co.uk/Grow-room-Products-20/-In-Line-Fans-Fan-Filter-Deals-108/RUCK-Fan-Rhino-Pro-Filter-Packages-1241.asp

I know its a ruck fan but for £129.99 i can get the 4" fan and ducting and rhino filter. Would that fan be ok? Hopefully they will take these 8" back and swap for what i need:)

Odorsok http://www.hydraonline.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=36_34&products_id=283&zenid=36dvdqasaofsrl1p5om8monb21

Smallest one i see is 100 x 300 and there 30 quid each, my 6" one is the third smallest they do so im hoping we you can work it out so we can use that.





These Odorsok Carbon Air Filters are available in VARIOUS Sizes to CHOOSE from:

125mm x 300mm (5 x 12") Flow Rate = 125 Litres per second / Flow Rate = 300 cubic feet per minute
150mm x 400mm (6 x 16") Flow Rate = 160 Litres per second / Flow Rate = 380 cubic feet per minute
200mm x 500mm (8 x 20") Flow Rate = 350 Litres per second / Flow Rate = 850 cubic feet per minute

350mm x 1000mm (14 x 39") Flow Rate = 1000 Litres per second / Flow Rate = 2400 cubic feet per minute

The Odorsok is a one of kind fabric carbon filter! Thats right FABRIC carbon filter..no metal to weight you down! - It's unlike any other carbon filter on the market and has many benefits over the old heavy metal canister filter.

Developed by a company you have grown to trust in the odour control industry - Phat Filter! The Odorsoks secret is in the unique tri-layer carbon matt & just like the Phat Filter Odorsoks are made only with the highest quality ground virgin activated carbon. Instead of reforming the carbon into dense pallets the carbon goes through two unique -fibre impregnation process -which creates an incredibly absorbent carbon & has 10 times the surface area of many palletized or granular carbon!

Main Features:

LPS Flow Rate = 125 / CFM Flow Rate = 300 The Odorsoks are extremely cost effective. Will provide Odour protection for up to 12 months ! The Odorsok comes completely collapsed in a small box and stores at under 1/12th of it's working size.Helps free up valuable shelf & advertising space. Lightweight, Compact, durable construction Assemble and dis-assemble is easy in less than 2 minutes! Fits all manufacturers fans. Average 8% air loss with centrifugal fans. Works in humidity - just tumble dry when wet. Air flow capacity from 100 - 2400 cf/m. Odorsoks are available in 6, 8, 10, 12 & 14 inch sizes. It's lightweight and compact - weighing just 4lbs. Choice of Airflow direction - Suck or Blow !

How they work

OdorSok air filter removes pollen, odours, vapours, pests, fumes, dust, chemicals and pollutants.
Odor-Sok Air Filters are constructed using bundles of microscopic activated carbon filaments and fibres. By controlling fibre width to 20 nm, the kinetics (adsorption rate) of carbon cloth is similar to that of a single exposed carbon particle. Air flows evenly across the carbon and with accelerated kinetics (up to ID-2400) and increased surface area, Odor-Sok Air Filters retain all the properties of deep filter bed canisters. Faster adsorption rates means smaller filter equipment and up to thirty times less carbon in use for the same result over a one year period.

Attachment of all sizes is as easy as a big zip-strip (available at your local hardware store), and some duck tape. Your exhaust fan inflates the filter!
The Odor Sok can be hung, or wall-mounted depending on the fan (you mount or hang the fan, with the attached sock). For a quiet application, try hanging the fan from a joist with some rubber bungie cords.

Recommended and Maximum CFM:

4" - recommend 133 CFM, max 190
5" - recommend 196 CFM, max 280
6" - recommend 266 CFM, max 380
8" - recommend 595 CFM, max 850
12" - recommend 1190 CFM, max 1700

I just thought I'd add this as its quite useful - STELTHY :leaf:

I'll take a look mate, a bit more expensive than I imagined but we nearly have everything now.

Will these tanks have to be moved around when they are full because they will be very heavy, I used to bee beers and even forty or fifty ltrs is very heavy.

Yeah that is well to costly..I'll have another look about tommorrow, DWC is all about being cheap.. I am thinking maybe if we have a normal big tub ..(I'll post pics tommoz) we could just train the plants and use a tub less than 100L.

As I say leave it with me and I'll find the one we need tommoz and as cheap as possible too :) - STELTHY :leaf:

Cheers mate.

They are out of the 4" filters unitl the first week of the new year but by the time i get the cab lined etc it should be here.

I was wondering does the top cab of the unit need to be lined with mylar? Was just thinking if it doesnt it will make life alot easier for me as i wont have to move the cabs about.

The top section does not need to be lined :) Because there is nothing in that section that requires light+a reflective surface, Sound proofing will be needed though...Dyna-Mat for the Carbon filter areas and accoustic foam proofing for the in-line fan areas, This will help baffel the noise of the fans etc...But in saying that I would imagine you will be fine just leaving the area as it is because the 2 small fines are pretty quiet anyway :)

I have just gotten home after a killer day shopping from the moment I opened my eyes.. I will have another look for some suitable res. containers - STELTHY :leaf:

Thanks mate, cheaper the better lol. Im hoping fans etc plus odorsoks maybe here tomorrow then its just waiting till the new year for filters.

No rush mate i understand you have a family and certainly a busy time of year.

As for the cabs ill probably do a trial run first and hopefully i wont need acoustic matting etc but if it is to noisey then ill get some.

Will the bottom cab have to be lined mate?
You can do.. its not essential but I have because if you have any spills there's less chance of rott in the wood etc, Once the cabs been covered in Mylar and the Mylar is hung wrinkle free etc make sure its well stapled in place and then use silver metal duct tape to put around the inside edges of the cab etc so no spills can get into any of the joins and no smell can excape at all :)

Sorry for the late reply, been at my folks house preparing tommoz roasty, and then had to help my mate do his 1st Harvest :) only just got back - STELTHY :leaf:

Ok mate ill prob get cracking on it the day after boxing day. I may not bother lining the bottom cab if it isnt essential, will just make my life easier and mean i havent got to keep humnping the cabs about, im fairly strong but the big cabs weigh a ton.

Does the cab have to be leveled or anything mate?

Erm.. what do you mean by leveled? Also I would advise waiting on covering the grow shelf until we have the res container, cos we need to cut out a hole for the container/s to sit in 1st. I have still not found a tub but dont worry I WILL defo find the correct one after Christmas for you :) - STELTHY :leaf:

I mean checking to see if its level with a spirit level? There is probably no need but thought I would check.
