anyone know if a 4 inch budget extractor fan will cool a 600 in a 5 inch cooltube, yeah i said i was gonna get a hood, but i realy need to get moving with this, getting a cooltube for 30 quid, use it in the 250 for 2 weeks, then should be able to get my 600 ballast, then if this 4 inch extractor works, i can run that until i can get me a decent extractor, all this budget shit is a waste of money, i advise if any noob gonna get filter, fan, etc get the real deal, known names etc you fuckin buy the cheap shit, and end out needing the real good stuff anyway ffs
it should do something. a few degrees is better than nothing. i started with the cheep and cheerful. im not knocking it, its what got me started but the filter only lasted 2 grows. the rhino pro i got has lasted 4 and is still going strong. tidy reflectors are my next item to get. either that or a set of the uvb lights?

joking aside my mate told me there's a fuckin new firm well not a firm but a couple of handy blokes got themselves a handheld camera with a flir filter thingy going round taxing folk left right n center.

am not to worried about that because ill be growing in a secure location am more worried about things like

- helicopter detecting heat sigs
- my dodgey high use of electric

and what ever else you guys can tell me

on a side note is the camera basically a heat detection kind of camera? iv never heard of one that commercially available to the little guy

The cameras cost but you can buy a hand held for bout half a grand. Bottom line is a couple of 600w lamps won't get you noticed. Telling folks you grow is the biggest no no.

ill be keeping that top secret! haha

so will i be safe from the helicopter then? how come the handheld cameras can detect grows so easy compared to the police helicopter or is it just because the firm of lads are putting more work in to find the grows than the police?

i'd say so, if you are growing in the loft you'll need to insulate it and best exhaust into the chimney breast, that should see you fine. aye the local toerags are just going up n doon streets marking the numbers then paying them a visit, the rozzers have to borrow the FLIR camera's off the energy companies and then get warrants.

afternoon fukkerz how are we all today? so ive not been on for a week cos i moved house last friday, and still no fucking internet Sky gonna be the 23rd b4 my broadband is activated...bastards, so ive popped into ma mums to use hers and see whats happening in the RIU world 2day, anyway since my move ive got my new grow tent all set up with my 400w hps and 2 100w cfls along with my filter and fans im all good to go, the cuttings i got just before moving have proper taken off now and are about a foot tall so ive flipped to 12/12 already, will get pics up as soon as my internet is connected, the Holy grail kush is gonna be a monster, ive also popped a blue grape dream seed and see how it goes 12/12 from start to finish. i also chopped my blue lemon thai 3 days ago so its currently hanging drying just now will be getting put into jars in another few days will be about an oz dry weight by my estimate which isnt bad for growing under a 300w cfl. now got 5 plants in total just been put under 12/12 so hopefully in 10-12 weeks ive got a lovely overgrown garden in my tent lol

yer i had one of those cheep fans just to cool room bit more of a intake....now its just sitting around lol.....View attachment 2733773View attachment 2733774
i Have something similar, but i think mines might be better quality than that, hopefully it will do the jobby

this is the same fan i have

its not bad, just doesnt have the power to suck all the hot air out of me room with the 250, sometimes still hit 30c, nevermind a 600, but if its in a tube then surley 6 inches away from the bulb it will be doing something, and as baz said his 4 incher does the job on his setup, and on his wife haha

they probably do, but choppers are easy to get, expensive mind, but alot easier to catch us looking from up there, rather than walking around doing seperate houses, slower on ground thatn up in the air i suppose.

Feeding biobloom every week? well in my experience you need to feed ever watering, or at least every 2nd watering, i was seeing deficiencies when i did not feed, but yeah that could be strain dependant, in flower i would feed biogrow for the first 2 weeks, then after that start adding 1ml per L of bloom, and i threw in topmax aswell used topmax same as biobloom, and up it every feed untill you hit around 3ml per L, i was way up at 5-6 ml per L last grow and didnt see any burning, but yeah that could be strain dependant, just have to start off with a little, if you see any deficiencies, up the feed, untill you stop seeing def's and you should be good. 3ml per L worked great for me last grow, then after about week 5 i was upping it just to see how much the plant could take.

im sure indi could correct me on this, same with sambo, they are soil growers aswell
