Yeah man, as long as your lights aren't too close and you can control the temperature, go for it. Plants absorb as much light as they need, it's the heat stress that damages them.

Neat, but I'd like to point out that draining freon is incredibly hazardous not only to your health but to the environment. It is also a serious EPA violation. If you are going to repurpose an old refrigerator, please for the sake of all of us, have it drained properly or get one that is already...

Hey guys, I've got two of these overpriced suckers and am trying to install them into my intake for my flower room... running into a bit of trouble with the installation and am wondering if there are any easy solutions to it. My problem is that the dust shroom is slipping off my tapered 6"...

Hey man, it might help if you break that wall of text up into some paragraphs! I know it may sound silly, but seeing a nicely outlined group of paragraphs is much easier on the eyes and leaves people more inclined to read all of it. Break down your questions so we can answer them individually...

What would you recommend cleaning it with? Windex?

Once a week you say?

Never used LED's but I would think a 8" fan would do the trick. I'd probably go with 8" ducting so that if heat remains an issue you can install some booster fans. They're surprisingly inexpensive (my 240cfm 6" was like 20 bucks) and easier to add to an existing setup than throwing in new fans...

What's the size of your space and how many watts are you running?

If it's pressed right up against the wall, no amount of PC fans or booster fans will do you any good. While some of the air will escape through the sides, lots will "bounce" off the wall and go back into the box. I strongly recommend ditching the PC fans if you wish to get constant temperatures...

I've been told FLIR is less of a concern than it is made out to be. Maybe some with more experience in law enforcement can correct me, but I know for a fact it was ruled as not to be probable cause. Not to say it can't be used to build a case against you, but from what I have heard the usage of...

From my experience even with my poor growing conditions (similar to yours, and please don't take offense to this!) if you top and or LST getting an ounce is easy. If you want to get temps down, here is my recommendation. Get a 6" booster fan and duct the air away from the box. They are under...

Yeah I think this is probably the safest bet. I just wanted to see if there was a safe way to do it with existing hardware. Contacting a guy I know who does work on commercial grows. As for the timers, I've never had any problem with my 400w on a timer but I've never ran 1200w on a single...

Only two ballasts (the 600's) will be on one timer. The 400 will be on another.

Perhaps that was worded incorrectly. I was under the impression I just needed a 240v cord. I didn't realize I need a step up transformer.

30 degree temperature differential will be stressful on your plants from my experience... also not sure if the hooks are for doing a scrog but if they are your pot is definitely too tall for that and it'll be extremely difficult to keep it that low. I like the cab, I tried a similar setup for my...

Hey guys, every day getting closer to D-Day here. Plants are germinating and my flowering box will be built this Sunday (God willing.) I'm trying to figure out an electric issue here, and would really appreciate the response from a certified electrician. I am willing to go the route of paying...

I found a good amount of 8 inch at Lowes, Home Depot was very limited though.

I'd check out Solis Tek, they have ballasts that stagger when programmed together. I've heard they're really top of the line stuff so expect to pay a premium, but this would definitely help you with energy spikes.

It seems he has a cool tube without the glass, so this wouldn't really help. You need a cool tube in a space like that with that much wattage, or a AC unit pumping cold air in and an exhaust at the top removing hot air.

Hmm I suppose that makes sense. I just hope the actually floor itself isn't too cold but I imagine between the black saucer and pot it should avoid enough thermal energy to stay warm enough.
