sugabear- you will want a bigger fan. i am using a 309cfm elicent and it does a great job. i would think you would need to be getting at least 250cfm. maybe more.

you could do a diy cooltube..

good luck

reason I am leaning away from the cool tube is that it will require the bulb to be orientated lengthwise to the long side of the cabinet - as I learned in my last cabinet this doesn't produce a good light distribution. much better to have the lamp perpindicular to the length of the cabinet.

So I guess that means it's time for a bigger fan - oh well my old cabinet can stay intact for a veg setup.

I was considering a 176cfm dayton or 180 cfm active air blower, but it sounds like a 265 is in order.

What about fantechs I can get a pretty good deal on an FR150 ($147) it's a six inch and rated around 250 CFM I think (see the attached chart).

thanks guys

Man, am i ever getting excited

Man, am i ever getting excited

Well I feel kind of inadequate posting pictures when I have such pros ahead of me. I think I have Cola envy.

Anyways I have 8 AK47 blooming away, but I really suck at taking pictures, or it is probably my camera. I do have a a nice 35 mm camera with a kick ass National Geographic zoom lens, but I would have cropped by the time I got the pictures developed.

But here is my update 400mh







And for comparisons sake here is last week

I have a quick question... well not really quick, but some questions pertaining to the setup I want to have. I'm willing to spend around 500-750 on all my growing needs. Anyways, I'm thinking about getting:

400 watt HPS/MH w/cooltube
HydroHut Mini
Ozone Generator (only because it would be quieter than a carbon scrubber)
Several fans mounted inside and such

Now, with the lighting setup I want, where would be the best place to start looking to buy? I want some nice equipment too, I'm willing to spend the extra money for the better product. Also, would 9sq feet be enough to grow 4-5 plants or would 5 start to consume too much space? Anyways that's it, I'm new to growing, and have been spending hours upon hours reading on this forum, so hopefully I'll get started off in a solid direction.

cant give you info about growshops but I can tell you not to worry about the room : I'd plant more than I need , kill the males when they show up, then tie the remaining females in every possible way so they all fit in there and get max light.some people fit 30 plants in 9sq feet closets.five will fit without any problem.If you can , buy some plastic mesh to cover the walls in so you can tie the plants to it.I dont know if it's called scrog or V scrog or whatever, it works great.

I believe there are 2 great ideas here, the lamp outside the grow, and a big fan, not coolers.

cheers

I do like that light outside the box idea, i wanted to build a nice box into my wall this weekend, I think that gives me a few ideas, what do you have the pc power supply for, intake fans?

Looking really Good marijaunuat! I can almost smell them from here :).
I have spent last hour or so tieing the plants down again. I have most of it done but not the edges.
Heres a pic of the top of the plants they are just under 4 foot tied down. :joint:




Today is probably 21 days flower give or take a day or two.
The Blue mystic has lots of tric's on leaves and buds, the widow doesnt have many at all. The Widow hasn't stretched quite as much but has very sativa looking leaves so i am gessing it will need at least a week longer than the Blue Mystic.

Good luck with the grow!
