    Two venting ideas, which would keep it cooler?

    put a piece of folded cheese cloth over the intake of the reflector farthest from the fan and let the exhaust for the reflectors suck the hot air out of the room through both reflectors. The cheese clothe is to keep dust and debris from going into the reflectors. Or your could get a carbon...

    1000W in the closet?? venting help!! Diagram w/ pics!!!

    Dust accumulation on the bulb could cause less lumen output and potential hotspots. You would have to clean the bulb and reflector about every week or 2 if you don't have a carbon filter. Now if you don't have many problems with dust then it probably won't hurt, but I'd still recommend it.

    Honey Bud - anybody tried that?

    There is a difference between ODing and getting too high. I ODed about 4 months ago on butter/oil brownies, made some brownies from Bud Butter, then drizzled some oil over top of them. First you will pretty much go completely silent, lazy, and 100% unmotivated. You might even get queezy when...

    70 Watt HPS Question

    Yes it uses regular medium base, yes you need a ballast, and no this light will not do 3 however it will do 1 medium sized plant or 2 smaller plants. Which depending on auto genetics will determine how many. If it is sativa genetics do 1 if its indica do 2. I use a 70hps for germing and veg...

    hydroponic auto

    The bloom has a enough N to support it. I use foxfarm for my DWC, but still utilize the same technique. With autos you dont even need and grow ferts. Really all you need is bloom, micro, and cal-mag for autos, because there is no veg so no need for excessive N. The cal-mag will give a slight...

    small cab

    A 250 watt hps has twice the lumen output. First rule of thumb for a small space is around 6000 lumens per square foot. 250cfl= 12000 +/- Lumens, a 250hps= 24000 +/- lumens. You could get away with using a 250cfl in there and still achieve decent yields cause you still meet the standard, but i...

    2x4x5 tent. 600 watt cooltube??

    Just remember to vent the hot air from the light outside your main room and allow for cool air from the main room to enter the cab easily. The biggest issue people run into when cooling a high output light in a cab is they vent the light to the main room and not outside. So it causes a lot of...

    FOX FARM NUTE question

    Ive been using Fox Farm hydro line including solubles for sometime now, and have found big bloom to be helpful, but you could honestly do without. It's not that expensive and if you run into issues with nutes it helps revitalize the root system if you screw up. In all honesty I have found grow...

    Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Bloom would be the best choice I think to take place of the tiger bloom.

    advanced nutrients and fox farm

    Im sure you could use bud candy with foxfarm I don't think it would hurt. I would honestly do the tiger bloom also. Fox farm nutes are designed to work with one another, not different companies. Some you might be able to get away with but others u won't be so lucky.

    how many plants for a 6' X 4' X 2'

    The rule of thumb is 1 per square foot of space. However I don't see a point in doing so many in a small space unless your trying to do a few different varieties, and even then you will be hard pressed to keep every strain the same exact height and width. I'm not saying you can't stuff that many...

    250w or 400w hps ??

    Yeah with the filter the fan loses a lot of air speed. So i would put the filter on a seperate line and fan and just cool the light individually. Thats what I do and it works well. However you need to have your light exhausting into a different room cause you could still have problems with...

    250w or 400w hps ??

    Dual 250 watters, side by side cooltubes, custom Y pipe with elbows on each end, and a relatively high speed 6 inch fan. You could even slap a carbon filter on the intake end to get rid of smell. I was thinking about doing this setup in my .6m x 1.2m x 1.8m cab with dual 400s, but didn't have...

    Need advise on new Grow Cabinet - 400W HPS - Pics Included

    You could also try a 265cfm Hydrofarm blower with 6" intake flange (sold seperate). It keeps my 400 watter nice and cool. You would have to mount on the outside, but you would with any other high powered fan you try and put in there. Id make a stealth box with holes in it covering the fan. Good...

    Electricity Bill Sky rocketed

    Honestly man a gaming pc with a 600 watt psu if gaming all the time with a modern GPU can use about 300-500 watts. I have a 1000 watt psu in my gaming rig, but when gaming uses only about 600 and when at idle only about 250. My gpu alone uses 400-450 watts and its only a gtx260. If your running...

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

    This is a beautiful show of craftsmanship. Good job Stelthy. From glancing through all 71 pages I have come to realize that I want my cab to be similar to this when I decide to build it. It's gonna be a 3'd x 4'w x 6.5't with 600 watts and a scrog method using canfans. I have subbed to this...

    how many plants for a 6' X 4' X 2'

    Depends on how u wanna do it. If there is no training involved like LST or SCrog then i would only do 2 and grow them about 3 feet tall. Thats what i did, however if u Scrog u can get 3 in there or sog u can probably pull 4 off. A grow space of 2x4 isnt very much room, trust me my cabinet is a...

    How much did you spend on it? I just built a cabinet and the total cost of supplies and cab was only around 150 maybe a little more.
