Snow.. my fixture is already preassembled but god knows i love taking shit appart. ill try and find that link at the moment i can keep it at about 79 or 78 and the ballast doesn't seem to get too hot. I can grab it with my hand and hold it for a minute. but what i was thinking too was just like the dark room tents i could make another vent hole in the front since i have one in back and have it pull the cross venting air up....the only problem is after leaving the closet closed for an entire work day it tends to make all the air in the closet hot....i dont know its kinda taking the whole stealth part out of the opperation i might as well make the whole closet a grow room.

bro if you planned a stealth grow, for the obvious reasons i would stick with it, and try other remedies....we may find a simple solution for you..
Gimme 2 shakes and i'll post the ballast link to which ever page it was..

Got my light/ballast/reflector today! I also ordered two 4" flanges im gonna attach to my cabinet.

This thing get hot, quick! What are you guys using to cool down your cabs and keep temps down? I plan on having one or two 5" vents for passive intake, and my 4" vortex will be attached to my can-filter2600 which will be sucking in the air in the cab and exhausting out. Im thinking atleast a 6" clip-on fan pointed at the bulb will do.....right?

all my stuff, minus the cab and filter. Thats my "stealth" fan box that holds the vortex. And awesome packaging. A+!

I was looking at that econo site and i cant believe i didnt do this before but this is gonna greatly save me money in the future...i do wanna know though do you think i should get a couple of those metal halides with the 150 and even out the spectrum or should i just get another 150 and let the orange and red take over!!!!

Yea frosty, good stuff man. Your graphics are much appreciated. Based on what you noted, "BOG/colloseum grows work reall well, and can yield massively with the right strains and it all set up correctly.". The bulb will be dropped out of the batwing and let her hang in the middle of the 'colloseum' of sexy, flowering ladies. This current 150 op is based on SOG size girls / scheduling. 2 generations of 'Da Purps' have been through this current setup with the batwing. Decent yield, coulda been better... Was a good SOG size indica 8/9 week strain though. Your idea sounds perfect. Will keep ya posted.

heavybassplaya, you have any pics of your setup?

Also, question for anyone.

My dimensions are 2'x1'1/2"x3'

I plan on growing autoflowering lowryders but not sure how close i can have them growing next to eachother. I can fit 12 half gallon SOG-pots in the cab with NO space inbetween them. So i figure ill use 1 gallin pots cutting that number in half to 6. So i guess my MAIN question is. Can i grow 6 lowrdyders in my cab with those dimensions above? Thanks guys. I should have pics of the cab up tomorrow.

hey milehigh, cabs like this are about the size of the space you're working with now. made mine myself and saved money. it sits in my room and no one ever thinks anything of it, so its stealth but you can cut a hole in it to vent exhaust.

edit: a pic of the cab after getting an econolight.

ya, those were 4 computer fans. they were helping to cool of the light and push air back towards the two exhaust ducts. the power for the fans are just old ac chargers, you just strip the two wires and attach to the two wires on the fan. it's a lot more efficient now with the cooltube, got rid of that row of fans.

I have a question for you 150W HPS growers. Its about the distance between the light and the plants. I know the rule that means putting my hand below the light and seeing if it burns, but i have to know the distance in advance if i want to make a closet. So how far do you suggest??
