i had a really hard time with the mylar getting it all straight.....im gonna try and fix it up a bit.....

dude, I bought a peice of sheet metal, 2 inline duct fans, a couple of duct flanges, flex tubing and polycarbonate plexi glass and made my own inline cooled hood, it seems to be working out well. Its just a square box that the light fights in, then there is an intake and exhaust in the top...

the grow lights are great for veg, but the DON"T work for flowering, you are gonna have to more lumens....I've done it twice just to get dissapointed....thats why i just picked up a 400 watts hps....

how do you think its gonna work? I am second guessing myself on that issue at this point.

what do you all think so far??

because I only have one ballast, I was going to grow 2 plants under the MH then take some clones, when they are ready to flower, put them in the other cabinet, and switch over this cabinet to the HPS for flowering. That way I can keep the mother and clones in one, then flower in the other and...

Haven't started germinating yet. I am going to veg in there to start then move the plants to a smaller veg cabinet that I haven't completed yet. Do you think its a bad idea to grow under MH then move under flourescent gro tubes?.

Got the mylar up, got the hood vented, got the other exhaust and intake holes done, ran the electricity.....i guess its time to germinate some seeds! here are some pics

heres an update: Got the hood vent completely hooked up, ran in the electrical, hung the mylar as best i could, now i just have to seal the doors so no light gets out but here's what i got! kinda hard to see cuz its all shiny....but I have: 400 watt HPS in a homemade air cooled hood...

any other comments?

no other comments?? Come on guys give a newb some faith!

I have purchased some carbon filter insterts for the true air carbon filter for your home/bathroom. I am assuming that if i put these filters in the exhausts that it will kill the smell....but i dunno, i may have to build the other one.

they look really stretched to me, good move moving the light closer. I guess the cold temp/ventaliation issue is a catch 22....I would vent it and add a small heater of some sort, or add more lights for more heat! I dunno, im new at this!

I am growing in soil. I figure I have grown in soil twice with bad lighting so i owe it to myself to go in soil with good lighting, I may eventually get adventurous and look into growing hydro....

Whats up all- I brought a few seeds (about 30) seeds home from my vacation in Jamaica last summer and they have been kept in a cooool dark place. I have a new set up and im going to be growing in a cabinet...

by just watering them with carbonated water?

Hey all, I am new to the forum, and I have grown twice before but with cheap flouro gro tubes from wal mart. This time I decided to jump in and get a real set up. I have a 400 watt MH and HPS ballast set up with a homemade cooling hood for the light that has a 4" intake and exhaust bringing...

i don't know much about adding CO2 to plants....but i was thinking couldn't you just take a paintball gun and fire blanks (no paintballs) hence putting co2 in the air? or am i just being a stoner about this one??

feel the same way.

I think the mylar would definately be too close in there, the steel is shiny, and it is surrounded by a batwing reflector so there should be no issues there. I got the fans at the local home depot, as well as all the other supplys for this hood. It was pretty simple to make, just took a bit of...
