If you get a controller, get the bare fan. http://www.amazon.com/115V-AC-Cooling-Fan-120mm/dp/B004YTSB7C
Alright thanks I've placed my order I'll try without a controller first and see how it goes!http://www.ebay.com/itm/140519972287
Note that the filters will greatly reduce flow and noise, but still should be plenty of flow for your space.
I have one of what looks exactly like that controller, works fine, but I don't use because the filters put enough back pressure and you can't really hear it outside the space much.
I actually have 3" pvc elbows. Just need to drill the hole for it. I bought 2 so I can have the two angles for a light trapI'm curious to know if a passive intake might be sufficient for a box that size ? It would reduce your power consumption and noise output. Maybe increase available space as well ?
I put it on after the fan, the exhaust side of the fan has the framing and can be pressed into the filter without the fan hitting the blade, the opposite side just binds up the blade...Got my exhaust fan in the mail today so I have a question do I put the filter before or after the exhaust fan?
Allright thanks I still have to drill the holes ... That fan was bigger than I expected! But it's not that loud like people were saying so I was happy about thatI put it on after the fan, the exhaust side of the fan has the framing and can be pressed into the filter without the fan hitting the blade, the opposite side just binds up the blade...
Finally finished ! Here's the final product... Running the lights on to test heat but it's pulling good air so I think I'll be allright!I put it on after the fan, the exhaust side of the fan has the framing and can be pressed into the filter without the fan hitting the blade, the opposite side just binds up the blade...
Looks good.Finally finished ! Here's the final product... Running the lights on to test heat but it's pulling good air so I think I'll be allright!
Thoughts ? Concerns?
Man I've never grown hydro before... You sure I'd have enough room... It's seems cramped in there.Looks good.
A simple soil recipe is:
25% peatmoss
25% vermiculite
10% perlite
40% compost (mix of 3 or more types, including 1 or more with manure)
Beware the bug risk getting cheap soil however, it may be loaded with eggs.
I do mostly hydro... Maxigro/Maxibloom. A single DWC bucket would be right at place in there and won't cost you much.
The addition of the air pump is the only extra space used, pot size can be same/similar to soil.Man I've never grown hydro before... You sure I'd have enough room... It's seems cramped in there.
I've left it running for two hours.... Top temp reading around 89 F and bottom reading around 77F .You shouldn't need the extra black fan. If you did white would be the desired color.
And I know I couldn't find a small white fan ... They only had the black :/I've left it running for two hours.... Top temp reading around 89 F and bottom reading around 77F .
Will this be ok?
Ok when I get off work today I'll run it for a bit without the fan.... See what temps are. Still waiting on my herbies order anyways... Getting closer75-85 is optimal, 89 should be fine. There are clip-on fans on amazon and an oscillating version at ace hardware, but that fan will be in the way pretty quick once the plant gets going, unless it's needed to maintain temps get it out of there, there will be enough turbulence in the air without it to wiggle the plants if that is what you are going for.
