Hello all, first time indoor grower using a 400w cooltube inside of a hydrohut mini that i wanted to share. Clones against the back and right side are Jedi x Cristal, (locally know as Mango, not Soma tho) with a C-99 in the center and two unknowns front center & left. This hut is too small for six plants but I was greedy, next time I'll do four.

Theyve been in flower for a week now. C-99 is stretching out alot, and spreading, making a bowl for herself. These next few weeks are going be fun!

Few Shots of the hut

Nice hut Doco. I noticed that you have 2 fans in there for your 400 hps. I was thinking of doing a similar setup in a hydrohut mini with a 600... doesnt the 2 fans get pretty loud? Right now for my 400 hps i have a 256 inline fan exhausting the cab and a 6 inch fan blowing on the bare bulb which seems to keep it cool enough....

Hi zOr - I have one fan on the 400 cooltube and one Dayton squirrel cage on a carbon scrubber. Yes the fans can get a bit loud, especially the squirrel cage. Next time, I'll put a small 4" vortex for the exhaust as they are quieter and more energy efficient.

The 6" Vortex moves a lot of air...way more than is needed to cool a 400w light. I am considering daisy chaining two 400w lights using the same single fan and it will be plenty. There are also fan speed controllers that you can use to dial down the rpm of the fans to help lower the noise too. I use a speed contoller on my air circulation fan so it doesn't blow the leaves off the plants!

It's very nice club and very nice buds

JumblyJoe, it looks like we have similar sized flower enclosures.
I bet you like yours as well.

Here is a pic of my last harvest. This one took up a little over half my space and crowded my other plant a bit.

loving the 400w setups guys. My 400w halfpipe of green will be kicking off soon and hopefully will get around to building that custom air cooled hood ala Underground Man. I have FMS Skunk Special lined up for the next run. Doing hydro this time (usually an organic grower) so I can really test the yield potential or the 400.

keep up the good work guys, Ez

These are my plants on day 20 under 400w HPS. I am using organic soil and only nutes were mexican and indo bat guano, mollasses, sea kelp and occaisional epsom salts.
3 are Joey weed northern lights and the tall one is from some exceptional bag seeded weed and i got a female. I have clones of all and was given some sour deisel clones which are veging in another area. Once these 4 finish i will use smaller pots and do all sour deisel, maybe 1 NL and 3 of the bag seed pheno.

10 days Flowering

10 days Flowering

Couple more wide shots of my hut with the 400w. Six plants (two too many) 10 days into flower. The Mango's and C-99 are forming nice little hairy budsites, the mystery plants are a day or two behind but are side branching like mad.

you know I just noticed this is under "growers forums > indoor grows-Soil > 400 watt club"

and I don't grow soil - I do hydro - does this mean I can't be part of the 400 club?

send a msg to the admin and ask for it to be moved into the main growers forum with the 150hps thread.

I think he is using 400....just in hydro, not soil. The 150 HPS Club is just a link to another thread.
