The good news it isn't permanent. I hope!

I like to learn off of other people's mistakes. Please share your worst crop and what did you change because of it?

What type of speed controller do you use? I hear the cheap ones work by starting and stopping the motor rapidly causing a loud hum. To my understanding this decreases the life of the motor.

Wow that sucks! So they shut your power off if you use too much?

My sister in law just started using them. She was a good student in high school and seemed to be on the right path. Then out of no where she dropped out and started stealing money from the family members. I had no idea what happened to her until I found out that she was using that crap. Stick...

I was just informed about Excel increasing energy prices for customers that use more then 500 kw per month. I posted this in the Colorado section but realized posters from other states should also be prepared. Xcel Energy Announces 2-tier Rates In a process to encourage customers to cut...

Hey nice set up! It looks very clean. Is that a Mylar blanket on the floor? Is that material waterproof and does it rip easy?

Thanks Vento I was also thinking of using a bigger fan and getting a speed controller.It makes sense to get a get a bigger fan as long as I'm able to control the speed. I have a furnace right next to the room and my girl hates the smell. The last thing I want to hear is her yapping. I...

Thanks. Will a wind tunnel effect happen due to the 6" to 4" adapter from the reflector to 4 " fan?

Will a 4" home exhaust duct be enough to vent a 400 watt HID system? Space size 3' W 4'5" L 6' H

Thanks, Do you know if 4" ventilation duct is enough for exhaust a 400 watt hid? 4" seems to be my only option for the current space I plan to use.

Ill check into that. Sounds like a great option if the medicine can alleviate my pain in the same way. Thanks.

I removed the bathroom exhaust fan and installed a 4" ventilation duct from the grow room to the bathroom's 4" exhaust duct leading outside. Now I'm worried about having excess temperatures within the space. I was hoping to connect the adaptor to bring the 6" reflector to 4" without any issues...
