I used those ziplock wires, you know the ones they use as handcuffs. Strong hold on those things :D

I went w/ bungees:



The fan brace that came w/ my HH is worthless, plus it's on the opposite end from where the exhaust port is.
kindred1, the mini doesn't have exhaust ports on the side? Good luck getting operational! I'm digging my Hut alot, $ well spent. :yes:

I'm currently setting up my hut as well. I have a 430 cfm fan hooked up to a can 66 and a 630 cfm fan cooling the light independently. I'm sure it will be overkill but it'll probably work.

from what i've read, it seems like to run a 1k in a 4x4 hut in any kind of climate that ever gets warm, you really need an independent cooltube (i.e. not scrubber>cooltube>fan but instead intake duct>cooltube>fan>out along with main space venting to scrubber>fan>out

what is everyone's take on this?

It seems that with ambient temps at 65-70*F, probably just one stanley blower could keep a 1k just cool enough, but with such a small space, i think id set up 2 stanleys (i like how cheap and efficient they are) with one pushing through 6" ducting into my 40 Lb eco scrubber and the other blower pulling through a cooltube with the mod to let the blower pull air from just one side.

opinions? whats bad about that idea? im considering a hydrohut in my future and im trying to figure out if its doable/planning out costs, etc

thanks :wave:

from what i read you do need 2 of the fans, one for the cooltube/light and one for the carbon filter. however in the summer i have it hard to believe it will still cool down unless you have an a/c in teh room.

i was gonna go with the 1k but its only a 15amp circuit and wouldnt have enough power to run an A/c in the summer.

Just got a new mini budbox. It's 75cm x 75cm x 100cm and is going to be my new seedling/clone/mum tent. 200W blue Envirolight (+250W blue envirolight hanging vertically at the side). Currently growing Oasis, Green Spirit, Cheese and Sweet Tooth.

Thats the budbox XL behind it with a 600W cooltube. :wave:

i dig that little mini Sammet, im gonna get one of those when my 1week old babies are flowering. very cool.

I went Air Cooled with my 400hps in the HydroHut Mini. I now understand why "air-cooled" is so nice, temps around 4 to 5 degrees above room temps with the vortex on low. love it!

The seedlings are doing great, im just over a week into this grow. Aurora Indica and Blue Mystic....Pics and diary soon.

lets see some new pics guys!

Cobo...

1st I only skimmed thru the 50 pages... way too many. lol

I was wondering what every1 thought of Sun Hut vs. Hydro Hut...

I am wondering since the Sun Hut 4x4 is like $150 shipped... is the Hydro Hut built stronger?

thanks for the help..be safe :joint:

Never seen or heard of the sun hut mate. if you did take the tme to read it ALL and i know there is loads to read , you will of found out most ppl are happy with what ever tent they have , price for theses huts is a rip off, i can buy themin china from manufactures for about $40 in england there like $300 to $400 . just shows you the ripp off they are. i have a contact with manufactures in china but you really need to order at least 10 of them say you need them as samples to see how they go , shouldnt be a problem as thats what i was going to do and sell them on ebay , but i have too much on to be getting in to tht.send me a prive message and i will give you email for china contact if you want. :rasta:

lol i have been through the entire thread 4 times thoroughly!

I want a HH but the only thing i can find in .au is the homebox version 3.0

Is v3.0 the current version?

JWP - something from a hydroponics site that I've used:

"Please note that we no longer sell the Homebox grow tents - in our opinion they have fallen too far behind the rest of the market in both innovation and pricing. "

Doesn't sound like a good bet to me. They recommend the HH and Budbox. :wave:

Sounds like they have found a new supplier who is supplying them with cheaper tents! Like it's not rocket science is it ? They are making up to 10 times the price they are paying suppliers.

Im trying to get my tent within the next week, i dont really care which company i go with, i just cant figure out which one i want. a 3x3 is sounding nice, but im not sure if it can hold 9 plants that are flowering? i want to run a 400 watt light and try to have a perpetual harvest going. my plan is to start with 3, then in 3 weeks add 3 more in there, then 3 weeks later 3 more in. Until i get to where every 3 weeks im pulling 3 plants and putting 3 new in to flower. Why 3 plants at a time? Im estimating that my roomate and i's smoking habit is about a 1.5- 2 ounces a month EACH, so this should accomodate our habit. would the HH original be a better fit for this?
