Thanks for the input. I've already bought the lumber.

I think I will build it 3X4X7 ft. I don't want to run out of grow space. I can always change it for the next grow.

My wife is already telling me where I should stick it, so I will just do what I want ! I can always move it (will only weight 200 lbs).

I will look into the panda plastic tent, may need one later.

I should have it framed out today. I am not going to put a top on it right away, not until I figure out the ducting required. I've got some time as it will be located in my garage. I will put 20 inch box fan on top to cool it initially. I will need to figure out the volume CFM to vent the box and probably need to get a cooled reflector.

See how far I get today, I will try and post a few pics later.

Peace - :peace:

groputillor,

I will not complete the box initially, I plan on using velcro to attach temporary cardboard walls, no top right now. I should get my SH 400 watt HPS system on Friday. Then I will start configuring cooling, clone shelf, etc.

No real hurry as my garage is enclosed and the temperature is very cool at this time of year.

:peace:

P.S. - Roseman I was born in Flint, MI but my parents escaped before I drank to much of the water.

It depends on the particular carbon filter (i think).. my carbon filter is about the size of a backetball or lil smaller... its got a built in "Flang" (or whatever) thats 4 in.... so i gotta go with a 4 in fan.... the dude at the hydro store said the cheapest one he has is 100 bucks and that its super super quiet and i can barley hear it thru the door.... but idk much about fans and carbon filters... i know you should measure the "Cubic Feet" in your grow area and do some sort of mathamatical calculation to see if the fan can pull all the air out of your grow room within "X" amount of minutes.... Hopefully someone can clear this up for us.. plus rep to the guy that sent me that link...


Say id get the 6 inch one. would this work to cool the light and eliminate odors with a scrubber attached?

also i hear people complaining about noise . anybody use these?

If you are concerned about noise, I would consider looking into getting a Panasonic Whisperline. There more $$ and they are bigger, but they are supposed to be much, much quieter.
 
Im not too concerned about noise i just would like something thats reasonable and doesn't sound like a chainsaw running.

thanks for the tips im going to hold off on that and get a 400 and go from there

InSaneInTheBrain - dude, I just checked out that link on the Panasonic Whisper series fan and WOW that thing seems like the bomb. And they have it for $155.00 w/ free FedEx ground? Sheeeeeeet, I'm about to pick that sucker up! I live in a rental property, so sound (or rather the lack thereof) is of the utmost importance to me.

Thanks for the tip! :bigjoint:
