Homebox XS setup

Heres some pics of my new setup with the 150watt hps and duct booster. Looks like just enough light for my grow. but i have a question, is it ok to use an old length of pvc pipe, spray painted black, for an intake tube? And the fan is really too noisy. Any input from yous guys is great!

careful with that ballast up there by your clothes and such that thing runs at about 135f

no problem. that was just temporary, i got it in a much better spot now. That thing does get damn hot

just got my HB and was wondering,what goes on the bottom opening for the HB?..is that intake flow,i mean i know it is,but whats the best way to maximize intake in a homebox S?...i have a clip 6" fan in there..should that be enough?..and if i leave the intake flow alone (just opended for air)..will i have to worry about bugs crawling in there??

damn i should look into this. if i made a DIY carbon filter by Zen you think that would be enough? only growin 2

intake should go in the lower side and the exhaust out of the top vent.

you would want an exhaust fan and a intake and and a clipon fan for circulation

so whats a good price for a intake fan and where to get?

for intake a duct booster would do the trick
Homedepot or

well the exhaust would be an exhaust hooked up to a carbon filter right?

otherwise, where else would i put the carbon filter??

the CF would be on the exhaust side yes

and you think that 1 inline and 1 exhaust would be good enough?

yes you only need those two.

Hi guys.

I'm concerned about the height of the homebox s... If i put a rubbermaid thats 12 inches tall, that only leaves like 2 feet of growth until the plant is running into the hps light. Do you only veg for a short time to stunt the growth? How much do u usually yield using the homebox s?

much appreciated.

I have a Homebox S with a height of 54" it is a little cramped in there. I have an 12" high top drip hydro set up, 400 watt HPS/MH w/442 inline fan exhausting into my closet attic. My temps range from 70-77 during the day. I make sure I am using short to medium height plants (right now I am in the third week of veg w/2 Lowlife fem White Russians (which avg. 14-18"), and 5 Lowlife fem AK 47s which should be okay!
I have another tent in my closet that I have a mother Seedism BLZ Bud plant and a rapid rooter tray for seedlings. I am going to take clones after I harvest my autos, an I know the BLZ Bud is not a tall plant, either. That is what I look for when I buy seeds-tall sativas are out!
I hope this gives you some ideas on your height worries. Good luck on your grow! protopipe1

just got my homebox xl going to use it to seed out some auto ak47/lr2
for next summer but the tent looks good very well construcked and
it fits my 4x4 flood table with room.

anyupdates man

hey guys I have a question,

I am thinking about getting a XS and would run CFLs in there instead of HID. Do you think just one fan on the exhaust would be enough, or do you think I would still need a fan on the intake?

mane2008, whats your inline fan rated? I was probably gonna get this one here for my cab to exhaust the heat from the cool tube but is this fan strong enough if I wanted to make the cool tube carbon on one side for cooling and smell?
