I hear you and trust me I want more than anything to have a bigger setup but not right now.. On a budget and have limited resources where I live and can't get anything posted to me via the net.. I'm making a big effort to make it stealth and keeping my mouth shut at the same time.. All I need...

unfortunately, I don't have the space for 1000w and heat is going to be a major issue for me during summer.. Thats why I'm planning to flower only 3 at a time max.. Figured 250HPS would do the trick.. my space is only 3ftx1.5ftx6ft.. so not much floor space.. 3 in a line is all i can manage. So...

Thats great to hear. I read so much and get so paranoid about 'getting it right'.. Its good to see an awesome setup and so simple and hassle free.. I have no gardening experience.. Got my first 7 bagseed babies on the go now (will keep 4 and pray for ladies), only 2weeks from sprouting and...

Awesome set up my friend... Inspiring. So how long do you veg for?? and only under the 2x4ft 32w'ers?? simple but effective.

Thanks for the quick response taint.. I spent a fews hours reading up on nuits, which is why I thought to follow the guidelines of high 'N' for vegging and high 'P' for flowering... I go back to the shop tomorrow and see if I can find one with a more balanced ratio.. Would the balanced feed be...

Hi all, As the title states.. I bought some fertilizer on impulse as they were super cheap.. Lawn Feed NPK 7.5-1.5-1.5 and Tomato feed 2-2-4.. These figures are not ratios, they are the actual % on the back of bottle. Can I use them for veggin? I plan on buying a better flower fertilizer...

The ballast states it is switchable between 120v/240v, so I take it that means i can use it with a UK spec 3-pin plug? How do I connect the light to the ballast? Can I just cut off the adapter and connect the wires to a E40 mogul?

Yeah thats true. I've been looking into them aswell.

Has anyone used or heard anything about these ballasts. I'm thinking of ordering one in the next day or two and would appreciate some feedback before I place the order :roll...

Yeah, that's exactly what i thought.. I might angle the side walls a bit and add a sheet of aluminum in there as a reflector. Gonna still need a ballast though but saving $$$ on the cooled hood maybe a lumatek digital is now do-able.

Hey peeps, I found this DIY coollight on another forum. I'm thinking of making one BUT its made from mdf. The guys says he's having no temp issues and the box is cool to the touch, so maybe its not so much of a fire hazard as you would think. What do you guys think...

Thanks peeps, I'll add that to my shopping list then lol

Thanks zem, always there to help. 250 it is then BUT what about the right reflector? Like i said the cooltube i found is only 1.3ft long with little side reflectors covering the depth of my cab. Are you saying i will need a reflector that is 3ft long? (I hope I'm not annoying you with all my...

Nice one zem, You seem to be the man with all the answers to my questions. THANKS!!

Zem, here's a question for ya.. I know we have agreed that a 250w HPs will be best suited for my set-up BUT Im wondering if i will get better light coverage with 2x 150w. I found a cooltube for the 250w that's 5'' x 1.3feet. My cab width is 3ft. If I stick 3plants in a row, will they get enough...

Hi All, As the title says.. Can I use a dimmer switch a fan speed controller? I found an old dimmer switch for a free standing lamp. I was thinking I might get away with connecting it to a fan and using is to control the speed. Has anyone done this before? Do you think that will work?

Cool, no worries. The depth of the cab is only like 1.5'. Just enough the line 3pots in a row. Temp is a MAJOR concern for me, thats why I originally thought to go the cfl route. Not sure if I going to able to grow in summer months due the ambient temp in the house reaching 85-90 easy. I have...

Thats good to know about the cfm rating on the fan. I was looking into getting an inline bathroom extractor rated at 325cfm but it was hella loud. Good to know I can get away with a smaller one. I'll try and get a speed controller, so I can set it to medium or low and keep the noise level down...

Yeah you're right there. 4months waisted growing shitty mountain goat weed as i like to call it. So 24/7 ey? Wow, didn't think i would need it on for that long but I'll take your word for it. In your early posts you said a 100cfm would be okay for my setup. Even with a scrubber and baring in...

I've decided to go for a 250w HPS with magnetic ballast. I like the sound of your grow cab being one big cooltube. I think that might work for my set up too. I just have to find one now or order online. How long is your exhaust fan on for?? The full 12 hours that the light is on or 15mins...
