    Cooling a 600w hps dimmed down to 50%, how much air?

    I did not know failure rates for those fans are that high. Amazon has 4 stars for it also. That fan cost $80+$20 controller, I always looking for high quality even though I am on a budget, I always use warranty when I can, but I hate for things to break.

    Cooling a 600w hps dimmed down to 50%, how much air?

    I am really on a budget right now, so I am trying to buy the minimum possible. Right now I got only 1 plant, so I don't need that much light. Noise is a big deal for me since the grow room is in my living space, so noise is going to be a problem for me.

    Newly build ebb and flow table, water level/amount questions?

    I just finished building this table from scratch today. Did some test runs with the pump to see if any leaks and such arise. So far I am happy with it. Here is what I notice, it does not drain all the way. The fitting itself is little raised, so it is keeping water inside, and the tub isn't...

    Update, this is what she looked like. Roots were a mess, all I did was cut the dangling roots that fell into the water away from the net cup and tried to pull out the long strands of root but I think a lot of the roots of still left in the water. I don't want to try to fish any more roots...
