    Vortex Inline Fan to Cool Light

    I just bought a 400w HPS/MH cooltubed light, with a 6" to 4" duct converter (the cooltube is 6" but my duct and vortex are 4"). Then just buy a couple of them duct clamps (something like these, you can grab em at Home Depot for like a buck a piece-...

    Lightproofing my cabinet!

    So... to save problems with lightproofing the back side, and having trouble with moving the light up and down if I went through the back, I was thinking this is my only option.. Does your grow light need to be level? As you can see, its still fairly centered, and I have room to bring the light...

    Lightproofing my cabinet!

    So my light came today :) And to my disappointment, with the cooltube it is too long to fit width-wise in the cab, so I've got to put it on a bit of a diagonal. As you can see, the back of the cab hasnt been attached yet, its just cardboard, so I can cut a hole to accommodate the end of the...

    Lightproofing my cabinet!

    Cool idea! I think I may use this with the plastic door behind as well, theres just way too many light leaks around the sides. Has anyone ever painted one side of black poly white? How well does it reflect? If its not worth doing, ill be ordering some panda tonight.

    Lightproofing my cabinet!

    What I was wondering was, If I have access already to just black poly, is it possible to paint the one side white and get decent reflection? God I'm cheap.. just seems like a waste to buy a 10' roll online when I only need enough to cover the door

My issue is my cab NEEDS to be lightproof, and I'm trying to plan out an idea before I go out and buy anything expensive.. The Cab is 3 feet wide, 2 feet deep and...

    Heat vs. Light output

    Hey there! So good news, my seed cracked, so today is day 1 :D . My current set up is in a closet, with a rubbermaid grow. I am currently only using 1 rubbermaid tub (I have the other one, but its just a nuisance to maintain my plants with it on top right now). I run on 4 CFL's bulbs, and I am...

    Needing advice from someone handy

    So this is what I got going on for a closet grow, But I have 2 big issues I need to deal with. Ventilating and temperature. My temps are not terribly bad with the door open, around 85 degrees. But my major issue is getting the electrical cord to be a little more stealth than it is now, without...

    New grower, CFL Rubbermaid- Feedback needed!

    Just cut open the lid of the bottom one, throw the second tub on top and cut out the bottom! Obviously a little more fine-tuning than that, but thats the rough idea :) Nothing is attached to the lid at the moment, so it shouldnt be hard to move things around. Is there anything I can do to speed...

    New grower, CFL Rubbermaid- Feedback needed!

    Hey guys! So this is my first grow, and I built a little unit based on a couple DIY projects on the internet. I just wanted some feedback into what I did wrong/right! I plan on adding a second tub on top of this one once the plants get to that point. The lights are sitting on screws drilled...
