First Grow! : CFL/HPS 8 Plants

when you buy the light from htg you get the cooltube for 70 dollars or euro reflector for 60 they both are air cooled so they both will work..yeah keepmothersin the tent and put clones right to flower when they root..i plan on doing that when i find a good mother until then im gonna fuck around with this 400 watt...

ah thanks never saw that before haha. i dont think 6" ducting will fit through the holes in the homebox though. i have 4" ducts running from my exhaust fan right now and they barely fit... the floralux one says its cooled by itself with optional 4" fittings...

bullshit..ballast inside the hood will burn your bulb out quicker than usual take it from first hand lol...but you can easily get a 6 inch connector for your 4 inch holes to accomadate that.

hmm true i could just get 6" ducts and connect to the 4" i already have... you need one duct coming in and one going out though right?

yeah..but you can get away with just blowing the hot air from the light out and using clip on fans for intake and circulation

hmm so i could take the duct from my exhaust fan, connect it to one end of the light and then exhaust that out through the top of the tent?

yep and just have your other fan bringing fresh air...

what about when the tent is closed up... think it will still be able to exhaust the hot air without fresh air coming in?

yeah its gonna exhaust the air from your cooltube/reflector so leave one of those flaps open for intakes at the bottom

i cant that lets the light out haha i think i might just run another duct for intake out through the hole at the bottom and out my closet somehow...

it should be an easy thing to sort out..get 1 of those 4 inch duct booster from htg those would do good shit get 2 of them for good venting

you mean like this? High Tech Garden Supply or these http://www.htgsupply.com/viewproduct.asp?productID=46434

nah not that one,the suncourt duct booster fan is 19.99 4 inch for intake... i would get a 6 inch for the light you need at least 200 cfm for a 400 watt in a cooltube

the one thats 19.99 is only 80cfm...

for intake,exhaust with a bigger fan..your room is not that big for a bigger intake fan

ok now im really confused haha. if i get an intake fan would i still need the exhaust fan i already have? or could i just use that by itself? or use both of them?

yes a seperate exhaust for your light..small exhaust for your room and small intake 3 fans..two small 4 inches and one 6 inch

yea i have a sqirreI fan that brings air in,and a vortex fan that cooIs the Iight, and a osciIIating fan for PIants, go to my journaI Iast page, of my new setup . the sqirreI fan finds areas where air I eaks and stuff are givin you new suppIies of co2 for your grow,. NI BB. sounds nice cant wait for that . who seIIs that?

yeah i saw the new setup raider looks good. but you just have a squirerl fan down in the corner blowing air out? then you have ducting from your light out through the top, do you have another intake fan coming from ducting on the left?

No. the votex fan is Iocated in the top attic ,points toward the attic. vortex suk air from , then to , ducting mounts at the rear. i just have ducting hanging outside the tent area, but if you go up to it , its Iike a strong vacume, .. i bought the vaIue Iine fan (cheaper) from Discount hydro. for 110.00. PIenty powerfuI enuf , and qiet. the other ones way to powerfuI and Ioud from wat i hear.
