400w Club-Show Off Your 400w Pride And Joy

That is a nice setup for that tent. I have the same size and was trying to figure how I was gonna fit a fan and filter in there. That looks like a fairly large filter for the space. Was that by design? I am hoping to keep everything hooked to the top of my tent rather than down the side like that but I may have to go that way. Nice grow, btw.

You're talking about the flower tent right? thanks for the compliment. yeah, i would like to have the carbon filter up in the top, but with that daystar ac, i don't have enough room depth wise to fit it in there. It's a 4" can filter, pretty much the smallest one I could fine. I could build a smaller one now, but at the time is was the one. I have thought about putting it on the exhaust of my inline fan, but if it's not broke, don't fix it.

I had to get different brand bulbs (new) twice now since my 400 Lumatek would not ignite the bulbs. I had to finally go with Hortilux. The Ushio would not ignite on any of the 400 Lumatek ballasts at the Hydro store for some reason.

anybody running a lumatek ballast right now? my brand new metal halide failed to ignite after a month of use, my hps is running like a champ still after using it last season...? is that normal?

This is my "Ghetto Grow" closet. Everything in it was either free or dirt cheap. I was given a brand new 400w MH construction high bay light. I made a cool hood for it. I also am using the cfl's from my Aerogarden. I am using shelves to adjust the height of the plants instead of raising the light. I used 90 degree elbows from the harware store to attach the 4" dryer duct to. To circulate the cold air from my attic I use a 5" desk fan That I took apart and mounted inside a gallon pickle jar (plastic) that I cut the end off. The hot air goes back up to the attic. The closet is 2'x2'x5'. I am using 3 gallon grow bags with pro-mix soil (perlite,vermiculite, soil and sand). The 3 plants are Papaya's They are about 12" tall and going into 36 hour darkness tomorrow followed by 12/12. This is my first real grow so take it easy on me. Also check out the journal and let me know.

Thanks, upinchronic, for starting this really inspirational thread. I just bought a 400W MH/HPS switchable for my first grow. All in all, things are going great at about 3 weeks... but then you read about someone's bank of (5) 1000's for flowering and you're like.. shit, I don't have enough light!

Cured that!!
