i could have the i love lucy show right there in my closet!!or ricky, like i love lucy. even though itll be a girl just spell it ricci. lol. off track a bit yes...
my first grow was certainly no bueno man. i had everything kicked up right for sure. (besides the tying down part anywho, ya so i had purchased a 150hps for a much smaller micro grow. the 150 barely fit in the thing and i was keepin temps down...Looking good Bro, How did your first run turn out?
Ulti-LumenX 400W. can't remember the hood dimensions exactly. something like 19x22 inches i think...Good work, sir! my question is what HPS bulb are you rockin?
Thanks for the reply, +rep...to be honest with you, i built a frame out of 1x2's attached it to a 1/2 plywood board and panda filmed it.
if you would like i could show you a picture from further out.
but to answer you question more fully. the tent i have put together along with the 240cfm inline + two 70cfm axial fans, everything works well besides the "door"
i have a piece of cardboard covering the corner (door) with staples through the panda to the cardboard....
with that said the overall 340cfm that gets sucked out of there is plenty enough to keep my temperature inside nearly the same as ambient, 74 degrees about 7 inches from the lamp.
the tent i've put together though mind you does "suck itself in" if i'm not careful.. haha. thus i'm panda filming the closet doors as of now to open the entire "panda room" haha. i love this stuff. haah
if you have purchased an actual tent, i would hope that it wouldn't do what mine does, and i would think you'd be golden. i have a 6inch aircooled hood attached directly to the inline fan though...
happy tokin
ya know kind sir. i was lookin at my stuff today as i do most mornings wondering what i could do to better it... and all that. anyhow though..Thanks for the reply, +rep...
I havent bought anything as of yet, was just working out what I need, the only thing I was really unsure about was what fan power I would need...
Im not that handy with DIY, so thats why I was going to opt for a tent, as I could probably get my stoner mind round that...
But this has made my mind up for me and ill be going with a 5 inch 365cfm fan and exhausting into my attic so it doesnt heat up the room...
Ill let you know when Ive bought and how it goes, ill still be following ^^
i figure i pay more for a tent or i pay more for better lighting and nutrients. i chose nutrients and lightingya know kind sir. i was lookin at my stuff today as i do most mornings wondering what i could do to better it... and all that. anyhow though..
if you are putting a 400watt 300++ CFM fan to cool it, dude, you could probably run a 600 off that or a 1000watter especially if you're exhausting into the attic (i'm considering though renting the place. could be worth it)
what i got to thinkin this morning that i never told any of ya'll is that i actually cool off my ballast with the air being sucked in and blown out by the hood fan....
View attachment 1692805 so this is what i'm working with. we see the ballast literally hanging to be cooled off....
anyhow though, this is what i'm talking about. i have that much space. i need to panda the entire thing, finish out marta and vegga out lucy and lulu.
i'm calling the mystery bean lulu, ricci just didn't work. sorry
anyhow though so yeah. the plan is, is to give lucy as much light as possible with the 400+150 combo as well as lighting lulu. and to build a carbon filter within the grow space off the hood fan...
Schtev, and back to what we were talking about. you can see where and how much the panda film is being sucked in.
if i could float another couple dollars on a tent i'd get one. but its either a tent for $$$$$ or panda film for $$. i went with panda film... the tent would be ideal. honestly though i think that cooling with the fan you're talking about, would put you literally a few inches away from your canopy.
**interested to see how it goes for you**
LoL about the kung fu panda. haha. been there done that. hahaNice DIY sir... Loving the mid air ballast next to the vent... Did you plan that or was it meant to be?
Also im having trouble finding panda film in the UK... Great to use google if I wanna find Kung Fu Panda...
You said to maybe try a 600...
I wouldnt really wanna spend money on a 600w set up to find out that it gets too hot...
Ignoring the fact it costs a bomb, would the 600w dimmable digi lumatek ballast be worth it? That way I could try out a 600w bulb, then swap it out if it was too hot, then maybe try it again when winter comes around and ambient temps are a bit colder.. Also, I wonder if you would know... would the 600w ballast dimmed running a 400w bulb still draw 600w from the socket?
haha, naming the plants. i mostly name them so i can talk to people that know about marta, lucy and lulu without others knowing about it.I don't know if I could name my plants. Would probably make me feel worse about hacking them up
Congrats on getting use of the entire closet! Can't wait to see how that turns out for you!
couldn't agree more. i think i've grown a far greater appreciation and respect for the marijuna plant now that i've been growing.Growing herb is better. Anything you can make from ground up (pun intended) is always better in the end. Just like beer and liquor. You can make it your way to your liking.
glad the romans liked fatties. i enjoy a nice female fatty as long as her name is Mary Jane.Marta is one beautiful lady, Rome would b proud!
