Well I dont know what to do for your power situation. You basically want something like a generator next to the box in your attic. I built one of those filters and it works well but i ended up buying one any ways. That cool tube will work very well also. As for the fan, it will probably work for...

I would check the temps in your attic to make sure they arent really high. I know most attics are much hotter than the rest of the house unless they are partially finished. As for starting a new circuit, you need to be familiar with home wiring and electricity. It's not too hard but i dont know...

I was originally going to go the same route you are planning now and after doing plenty of reading on this site i decided to just save up and do it right. You won't regret it. If you are going to run 250 watts of cfl you are better off saving up and getting a 250watt hid light. Your yield will...

What are your temps like in your attic? Seems like it might be too hot in an attic, unless you plan on doing this in the winter. You need to get power up there one way or another. So do you want to just run one extension cord or run another circuit? however you decide to get power up there, all...

Just take a look at Sr. Verde's Grow and learn from it since it's almost identical to what yours will be like. His thread is what helped me build my box the most. Since my box is pretty close to yours and Verde's also I will link it so you can get an idea of what my box looks like and what i'm...

Ok the grow is going well. trying to get the other 3 plants to catch up to this first one that has a week on them. I wanted to do some lst and topping or fim with this grow. I am limited on height and I should probably start training this older one. I just don't know if I should top or fim. I am...

check out valueline fans. http://www.plantlightinghydroponics.com/valueline-inch-435-cfm-centrifugal-inline-fan-p-2260.html $80 for a 6 inch. I have the 4 inch version and it seems just as good and quiet as my friend's 4 inch can fan

Sorry I haven't updated this in a while, I got caught up in some things. But I've got the temps under control now. The box is in a room with a window unit set to 70. The box is always under 80 now and usually averages about 77. I have one plant that is a week old, one that is about 3 days old...

I'm in a 2ft deep by 2ft wide by 4ft tall box using a 250 without an air cooled hood and my temps average 5-7 degrees warmer than the room it's in. It's a pain to keep the heat under control. But if you can find an air-cooled hood to fit in your space it'd be easier to control the heat and you...

florida? random question lol Well the room I am getting ready to move it into has a window unit so I will be able to use that to help keep it cooler, and I will be able to vent the exhaust outside instead back into the room. I was planning on running the lights at night and have the dark period...

I was reading the reviews and I found that ironic. After more research into it I won't be able to convert the reflector into air-cooled like I initially thought. But I did remove one of the end reflector parts and mounted a small fan on it blowing air directly on the bulb. Now after doing that...

I agree with you also after further looking into it. I don't think I have a choice other than to find an air cooled hood or a way to cool the box better. Thank you for your response.

I'm currently int he process of trying to get my grow box ready to grow. I am having problems with heat and I am on a tight budget. You can get more info on my grow here https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/448056-first-grow-250-watt-hps.html I want to try turning my hood into air cooled. I...

Ok am I am still having problems with heat. I'm int he high 80's with a high of 90. I don't have enough money to buy an air cooled hood. But I think I can make one. I have glass and everything but a separate fan. Do i need special glass for an aircooled hood or will standard glass work? And...

I am using 3 different temperature gauges from wal mart. I have on standard red fluid, and two digital. The one digital has the outside(inside the box) temp and inside(surrounding room) temp and the other digital has just temp and humidity which will be put int he box once the grow starts. I'm...

I got the rest of the components in today. I have the box assembled and ready to go. Just waiting on seeds to germinate. Out of the 10 bag seeds I've tried, only one has germinated. I started more today hoping at least 2 more will germinate. Test runs of the box show that I might have a heat...

My fan and light should hopefully be here wednesday or thursday. Here's a picture of my box. I was originally going to use a 6 inch axial fan that you can see in the upper left corner, but it wasn't strong enough to pull through a carbon filter. It has a 4 inch passive intake, but I'm thinking...

I'm currently in the process of building my box to attempt my first grow. I have a 2'x2'x4' box that I built to stay in my closet. Originally I was going to use CFLs but now after doing research I've decided to veg with the 125 watt cfl I already have and a 250 watt hps from Htg Supply with...
