So i got a fridge off craigslist. I have 400 watt , 250 watt,150watt hps advanced ballast and 2-175 watt MH.

I dont have the dim. of fridge yet, do to the fact my cousin wants to trade me his bigger fridge for the one I got.If not for this fact this shit would be done now!

i would guess dim. slightly less then 2x3
From what i have read the 250 should be plenty. Is the 400 overkilll? What about the 175 mh for veg?The 250hps, 175mh combo?

The top of the fridge is going to hold the light with the bottom of the freezer cut out. It will have a peice of glass seperating the freezer from the fridge.
The light chamber will be sepertly cooled.
I will be able to change ballasts quickly and easily.

Thats all I got for know. More later with pics if my balls get bigger.:sleep:

the 400 wont be "overkill" jus have to make sure you cool it and vent it properly!!
I have 2 8" muffin fans and 1 6" 120v.
they dont have cfm printed on them but they hump they cool plc cabinets why bigger then
my fridge. also thinking about using freezer fan backwards.

Im going to try to dwc scrog. I will be using a 10 gallon tote with 3 to 4 clones. i;m going to attach a pvc frame to the lid of the tote.
Tying the screen to that.

Right now im growing some seed i got out of some nice smoke. A.K.A bagseed. ordering seeds sometime in the near future. Thinking about g13 pineapple express. But i will spend the money for quailty genitics.But very confusing on which are the best.:wall:

Got my Diy reflector done today. Was going to post pics damn camera was out of batteries.

My seed i planted on superbowl sunday has outgrown my small growbox. i had hoped to have the fridge done by now.
Didnt happen by friday for sure. Took vacation just to finish this. Very excited because i had good success veg'n superbowl.
I have taken clones off her when i see roots she will die and the in a few months i hope to burn her children and get the dna i so despertly want.

using floranova drain to waste nutes. Will get batts and post plenty of pics. Anyone else using a fridge still open to ideas?

Hey Polecat you still working on that fridge? Are you going to have it operational? So the fridge would stay cool and offset the heat from a HID light! Keep me posteds please ... subscribed

What's up Pole

I am running a 400 in my fridge and it is working prefect right now, temps in the mid 80s, C02

A hortilux HPS bulb, I use a 165 cfm fan to pull the air out of it through a carbon filter

Let me know if you have any questions

Here are a couple plants that are cooling in the fridge

Good luck on your growLStop.jpgParting.jpg
