hey Al... I know this is kind of a crzy question but whats the difference between a exhaust fan/blower and a inlinefan?? if both can be used for exhausting a growroom and cooling a cooltube/air cooled reflector..
I was wondering if the 6 inch ductfan can cool a 400watt hps in a cooltube.. Or do i need a centrifungal fan for the cooltube??I plan on getting a 4 inch centrifungal fan with a filter for $119.. do you think i should put the 4inch fan on my reflector or leave the 6inch duct fan???
dang. Well, if greenstar can put in an exhaust that vents into the attic, he'll get the aircon into the space via the feed duct and will get fresh CO2 drawn into the grow, too, as the volume of air that the exhaust removes will enter the structure via air leaks.
Without a decent sized return (i.e. door closed and 1-2" gap at floor level) and with no vent to the attic, I have some concerns about temp control.
My intenstions are to use this fan for the cool tube only. Panasonic Fans - (440 CFM 2.1 sones)$190.05
Also my smaller closet is 77" H X 24" W X 24" D, To haouse mother plants I wanted to use the same inline fan as the link but in a 240 CFM both those panasonic fans are designed for multiple-task ventilation. wanted to vent mums room and flower room with this fan Panasonic Fans - (240 CFM)
Also for exhuast fan I need two for both closets? to a Y fitting and into the filter is this correct or am I mistaken. if you have a diagram of how to set this up would really appricate.
should be fine.I was wondering if the 6 inch ductfan can cool a 400watt hps in a cooltube..
nope, you only need a centrif for the room exhaust blower, as it will be driving a carbon filter in your setup. The cooltube should have an independent ducting system, keeping grow room airmass separate from the cooltube air, so it does not need any filtering.Or do i need a centrifungal fan for the cooltube??
I plan on getting a 4 inch centrifungal fan with a filter for $119.. do you think i should put the 4inch fan on my reflector or leave the 6inch duct fan???
Thanks...so the dimmer can not adjust the high end temp of the soldering iron enough to bring it low enough for the dryer?
Also, What's the MSC in that wiring diagram?
Oh yeah, one more thing...My dimmer doesn't seem to adjust the temp at all. I've been moving it very small increments, but it just seems to turn on full power about halfway through the rotation? Am I wiring it wrong maybe?
I'd just tear the things apart by hand and pack the stuff in the pot bottoms.what is the best way to break it down to put it in can I just cut it in to small pieces to fit in bottom of pot?
40mm RW cubes, dealt with in much the same way as I handle clones.Also what do you use to plant germinated seed in?
What should be the flood level? I have it at about 9cm. (seemed about right)
How often should I cycle the pump? (I remember you said to run it just long enough to hit the top of the drain tube.
Does plant and/or root ball size have any effect on watering times/schedules?
Should I:
A. Run ducting from both tents to the attic (don't know how I'd do that at all, 1 ducting cool, but 2?) or
B. Get a bathroom type fan (the kind that pulls air out of the room, like when you drop science in there) and install it in the middle of the room,? I thought about this prior. I have a ceiling fan in the middle of the room. If I replace that with an exhaust type fan sucking air out, I could put it on a timer, perhaps.
my rickwool cubes appear to be very dry in my DWC setup......i have not seen any nute burn yet but i se rockwool and hydroton pebbles have white residue ( i am assuming salt from nutes) and look very dry what should i do
No. HID lighting can not be run on dimmers.
I mean i have heard that logn extenstion cords cause lights to dim so im guessing its POSSIBLE, Any light you want to shed on the subject? (hehe ... light... to shed... get it...
Really bad. All dead root matter has to be removed fully before you re-use pellets.Also how bad is it to have some dead roots in the hydraton? how thoroughly should it be cleaned in between uses?
Fytocell, perlite, rockwool, lots of options.What mediums in an :ebb n flow /grow system using buckets would you reccomend using OTHER than hydraton or MIXING with hydraton?
I Really dont like that the roots cant grow THROUGH the rocks, i like that with those mini grow cubes, soil, rockwool, and many other mediums, it can just grown right through it if the root wants to.
Pellets are used in certain systems specifically because they don't hold much water and thus can be watered frequently. Mixing an absorbent material with them defeats that purpose. You may not like that roots can't grow through pellets, but the roots filling the gaps between the pellets is more than sufficient.
Also GH Hydro 3 Part is inorganic correct? meaning NO h202?
No. Inorganic nutes are compatible with H2O2.
I would typically get root rot, even with H2O2, then during transplant they would always get shocked, and so I went back to basics.
The offspring on the heat mat look good so I don't feel it was gardener error on the ones in the EZ Cloner, same cut process, same hormone, etc...I'll keep you posted
