On the digital ballast and CMH front. I have been firing one of my 400's using my 600 Lumatek dimmable set on 400. The key here is it has 'soft start technology' fancy sounding but simple. When it fires a bulb it does so it in stages. Gentle to begin and working to full power in steps over 30 secs or so. Almost a month now and no worries. Been using Hortilux HPS bulbs for well over a year now with no issue. And contrary to what you have read and even posts in my past. The Lumatek dimmable ballasts do draw less current in accordance with the setting. And this comes to mind also from past readings. I believe its ok to use fire the 150 and 250 CMH with digis. Give me a bit and I will try and confirm or not if this is fact.It seems like that fan and scrubber are definitely enough. For the light, it looks cool and the Cool Tube would work in the fridge. 600W seems like a lot and I'm not sure if the tops can get as close w/out bleaching. But I've never tried it so I'm not sure.
I'm so sold on these CMH, that I'd never buy anything else. I'll use some HPS for a mixed spectrum, but like I said I'm sold on them. They can't use a dig. ballast too.
But I'd like to see how you get it to fit.

My buddy didn't bring the new freezer today, but tomorrow he should get it to me. I went to the Computers for Kids to get a couple more PC Cases. I also got all those fans. All for a $25 donation. I think I'll turn the Mac into Box for the 70W CMH Ballast, it's Timer, and the Fan Power Supplies so all heat creating components are away from the plant.

I ran the sulfur burner for a couple hours after a good cleaning. I added an intake fan. It was this one. http://www.power-on.com/sunon-kd1212pmb3-3w3p-fan.html
I put 2 plants in there starting to work down to 12/12. They need transplanted soon. Tomorrow is 16/8

I've been toying with the refridgerator idea for years -But I think you removed the most important part! The cooling system could be used to control tempurature and humidity. I always thought of an upright refridg/freezer, cut out the middle section & install glass (double pane insulating?) & the creating my sealed invironment in the lower section. 70w MH or CF for starts, 400w MH for veg & 400-600w HPS for flower. The refridgerator is the perfect growing chamber & has built in AC! CO2, AC & controlled ventalation for flowering -this could be the grow room on the space shuttle! Think about the refridgeration system if heat is a problem. Replace the stat with a 85 degree (lower if no CO2) & the compressor will probably run once every 20 minutes. What do you think???
PS: Not knocking your idea at all -It's great to see somebody finally undertake this project and the compressor section is a great place for the resivior & pumps...

The main thing about that is the fridges I get are free, because they don't work anymore. The other thing is I needed the back clear to run the Cool Tube ducting fans and wiring. I'm not sure how it would work, but I'd love to see someone try it. Many people have said the same thing about running the fridge too. I'm still not convinced. I can keep the temps real close to where I want already. As long as the garage stays reasonable. I don't use CO2, but I could try it pretty easily. I had a PM problem, so I want RH as low as I can get and want no added moisture. I don't know what power the fridge would pull either and if it would be overkill.
Keep tuned in as I have more coming soon.

INTERVENTION!!
I think DGB is addicted to grow spaces. All he can have! Help him, somebody, PLEASE!!
Just think, 20 years from now, he'll be like a little old lady with hundreds of PC's, refrigerators and freezers littered all over the house all growing weed. In 50 years, they'll turn it into an attraction and run tours through your house!
I'm just thinking about all the popcorn I'll eat watching it happen!!

We are getting our own league of Super Heros going. Big-multy-man he can leap a building in a single noun. Dan goes from mild mannered to Catlady all he needs is a PC case to change in and he becomes super stealthy. Ramble and Spout of course pretty much just bumble about and argue over whos driving. All lead by our fearless leader. RMH aka Agent Orange.

The H.G. says she only has 2 rooms left in the house I haven't got something going in in some way. And at least she'll be dead before I get up to hundreds. You got quite a laugh on this one.INTERVENTION!!

I'm not Addicted, AS ALL addicts proclaim. Every grow space I create means something needs to fill it. Learning to clone means you need to make a space to flower it. It's a vicious circle.
I am capped at fridge/freezers now. I have been capped at 10 fans in my Main Room for a while. I can exchange but not add.
We watch that Hoarders show sometimes. You got a good laugh on that one.
I could see it.
It would be different than that show though. Everyone would go through a "decontamination" to even enter, then it would be a breeding/strain/lab filled madness, just shy of Howard Hughes.
Funny you mention this. I've been watching Holmes on Homes on HGTV sometimes in the AM and for the last week I've thought IAm5toned should have his own on 'code' & wiring for Grow Spaces. Call it 5toned on Spaces.
