Help me put the pieces together PLZ!!!

ok lets slim this down, how is the flange on your carbon scrubber attached to the filter?

Yes the gasket goes between the flange and the filter. Run a duct from there to your hood and from there to your fan.

I don't what hood configuration you've got but mine did not require assembly. Didn't it come with instructions? Try these: http://www.jasons-indoor-guide-to-organic-and-hydroponics-gardening.com/exhaust-fan-setup.html

buump ..

The flange should have come with self-tapping screws. They make their own hole so just grab a power tool and screw them in 6 equal spaces.

thanks guys i was thinking that was how it was done just making sure. my next problem was my air cooled hood. it had a socket attached already but i got a hydrofarm socket with my lumatek ballast and im not seeing a way to mount the new socket, anyone had this problem? thanks again guys

did it come with instructions? Can the old socket be removed? Put the new socket where the old one was maybe? What model is it?

Thats like someone saying "I got this car and I wanna use this tire I bought, how does it go on?" Did you buy the tire that fits the car or did you just buy any old tire?

your way to far down the line man.

you arent going to need that carbon scrubber for at least 3 weeks after sprouting, and unless you have ALOT of plants, you wont need it till week 2 of flowering.

ok new question then. do i need to buy certain air cooled hood to match my hydrofarm socket and ballast or are all hoods interchangeable ?

they are not all interchangeble. But cheer up. The part you need is like 9 dollars at a hydro shop. I am thinking that you have a cord with a socket and you are trying to plug it into your Lumatek and it does not match up. This is a common prob. Bad hydro store for not telling you I guess. Go to tell them that prob or take back the hood and get one with the lumatek compatible socket. Most are but about 40 percent are not. Easy to fix. Also pick up some of those yo yo light hangers for 15 bucks. Make your life easier. Also if you are doing hydro get a tent. Or at least get some panda film on the floor, double seal it and put it up the walls. I say this as once again I spilled another res. It happens one way or another in ways no one can manage. Once again today I was thanking god for those double waterproof floors. Also search Craigs list for a true inline fan, 400 cfm for a 400 or under and bigger for a larger light, unless you are running too air way path circuits. One for the light with an in an out of the room and one for actual room exhaust. GL.


How do you plan to grow. May I suggest ebb and flow? It is quite the easy and efficient system for small or large grows.

i dry walled a room which i painted flat white its about 8x6x8 and will be sealing with panda film. i have a 600w lumatek that came with a hydrofarm cord socket set and a 6 in air cooled hood (which im having trouble mounting the new hydrofarm socket) 465 cfm vortex can filter 50 , 2x4 ebb and flow, AN

even tho i got an air cooled hood im thinking im not gonna cool it because of the size of the room might need the heat so i only got the 1 fan as of now. i got AN nutes ph/ppm meter all i gotta do is put the pieces together
