Haha yeah I know right! Well I made sure to stock the cupboards up before he took it. Only yesterday morning did I have to walk down to the store for milk otherwise it was actually kind of nice not having a vehicle for a few days but yes it was good to get it back last night though

Badass HC -- both the history and the cross -- is that an OG kush clone grown from seed as the parent or a real deal og kush cutting from the original clone?

My family came to the US in the 1720s I know some fought in the civil war for the north (family originally from ohio area in the not too distant past), no idea on the revolution, but we were here before the country was founded. I never thought that would be the case... explains a lot about my political leanings (i'd have been a revolutionary I'm sure based on my personal nature and lack of love for overzealous and overreaching government authority)...

That's very cool bongwell. That's real early for your ancestors to have arrived here, very very cool shit the 1600s had just gotten over with. I'm sure they must have been in both the revolutionary war and also the war of 1812 when we spanked the brits asses again lol. My family came over in the mid 1800s and settled near the top of the highest mountain here. What's neat though is that mountain is only a few miles away and I can see it from my house and there are still a bunch of cousins that live up there.

I can find out about the OG mom for you, I'm not sure myself. And yeah I thought that was real cool about where the land came from that the castle is built on. Part of the royal forest lmao friggen Longshanks. I'm not suprised though,,,given the time period and the fact that not long afterwards one of the sons was named William (I would think after William Wallace) and that first and last name has continued to this day in this family, that there was some correlation there with Scotlands fight for indepenence. It's also likely that my ancestor knew and fought with William Wallace.

How much airflow do I need to keep a 400w air cooled hood cool? 6in flange but my duct fan is too loud, so is my 4in for the carbon filter

In a small cab like mine I mean

Those fans are kind of loud aren't they. Can you move it further down your ductwork away from your cab and then build a little muffle box to put it in?

Reminds me of this seasons Justified... you aren't in kentucky are you? :) Is it the kind of mountain people disappear if they go up to and shouldn't? ;)

.02, you should be around 2x2 or 3x3 for 400 & a 4" is barely enough with a carbon filter. Your looking at +10-12 degrees above ambient temps

Hey dudes, fresh back from Vancouver, Happy 420 (still on Pacific time!). Took about 45 minutes to brush up, glad to see some kush hittin` the garden for you mate and I like to see the NHK whenever I can, love you guys for page after page of excellence :). Gotta take some time and read up on all this alcohol business, only ever ice-hashed myself, looks nuts, haha. Peace and love, hope you`re all well,

Well I'm looking into the s&p fans to cool the hps. Now trying to figure out out to vent it in the cab while being light proof and inconspicuous, or easily to be made to look inconspicuously quickly.

I'm looking at this formula

LIGHTING CFM = 3.16*(Total Watts)/deltaT
where deltaT = 20 to 30 *F

Is deltaT the difference in temperature from intake to exhaust?

I hadn't thought about my ballast being out somewhere when/if I set up to test the 400w hps. Also dawned on me that once again I didn't leave any way to do automatic watering system of any kind

I don't see how I can run a cool tube or air cooled hood without 4ft width. If I do that I might be better off buying a tent instead of wood for the cab. I've got a new design to draw out tomorrow though it still won't give me a cool tube.

I'm thinking a 400w hps won't run a 2' x 4' x 7' tent too well. I know my 240 led won't even though they claim it to have much better coverage than that

You can expect 4-8 degrees above ambient with 2 - 4" inlines wide open on a 400 like that (depending on humidity and transpiration rates). You can do a mathematical model but what winds up being the issue as you will see is that the radiant heat gain has a coefficient directly related to evaporation. Both the transpiration of the particular strain and the amount of container moisture evaporating will influence the temp in the cab. I think your right on target thinking of a tent instead, it will be cheaper and quicker set up. Of course it's not as much fun as building your own but theres something to say for plug & play. A 2 x 4 shape is not really the right shape for static coverage, You could put a light mover, excellent result and greater canopy coverage this way. To cover a 3x3 area with a 400 is just about perfect though. The extra foot from 3 - 4 feet requires you to raise the hood for coverage taking away the intensity meaning smaller buds. A 400 in a tube with adequate airflow can be at 8" from the canopy which will kill! You can grow buds with this set up that rival what you have seen from 600s or even 1000 watt hps.

Interesting. I haven't looked into light movers at all. Unfortunately lighthouse doesn't make a 3 x 3. Some reason they have 2.5 x 2.5. At least that's all there is on eBay. I'll look more.

I was wanting to build two cabs and compare my led to hps dimmed down to 200 so they were roughly equal.

In spring through fall I need the leds for less heat. Just a couple years ago we set multiple heat records. So according already has to work plenty

I work with 4x4 tents but only use maybe 3x3 of the floor area under a 400w and like Colo said, works pretty nice, very consistantly. I got all my tents from Growtents.com, ship everything they sell free, fast, and the 4x4 tent is like $147.00 shipped ... Would work well for what you need or is vertical height an issue?

Not an issue. Just that leds and 400w lights can only penetrate so far down. I had planned to run two cabs side by side and one shorter one across the top for mothers and cloning. Maybe that'd be too high up

And I'll check that link out. Thanks

Shoot. Just looked at Gotham hydroponics for light movers. I could buy a 400 or 600w light kit with air cooled hood cheaper than the light mover. The lights are dimmable too.

Jigfresh ran or runs a 1000 in a 2x3 closet vertically in a cooltube
