I am thinking of getting another 4' T5 system for my veg & using the 8 bulb, 2' fixture I have now for clones & new cuttings. Also thinking about getting a 6x4 tent & another Powerhouse 600w hps ballast & hood & turning it into a 1200watt bloom room & using my existing 4x4 tent for vegging. We'll see what this fall turns up. On with the pics!
johnny beegood,
Nice lil cab! You can get monsters in there...whats the sq footage? A 600w is def enough power for that area! You might have a really hard time with a non air cooled reflector and no ac tho...I know you are going for a stealth look but if you can do the following few things you will be in much better shape...So, just a few suggestions:
-Move all electric items out (each one creates heat).. The carbon filter and fan can be in the next room to the right...pumps can be set another few feet away out of the room.
-I would get a air cooled hood...I know its kinda late since you already have an adjust a wing reflector but you are gonna need to move hot air outta there...600s are NOT cool.
-Possibly pipe ac from the house or get a portable ac and pipe it in there.
-Don't do DWC in a cab unless temps are in control...Unless you want to learn really quickly what root rot is. yuck.
-You veg room above is a good size and i like it but I suggest adding a LOT more light. A 4 foot t5 would get them squat and bushy in the short amount of space you have and not add too much heat. Maybe a 2 or 4 bulb model. I own the 8 bulb and it gets hot but u can turn off half the bulbs which is nice.
-You might also find that an intake on the lowest point of the cab will give the girls fresh air and help in circulating the air...getting the hot stale air out and giving them cooler fresh air
I hope this all helps. I've read a lot of books. Really is a nice setup though! Spending cash to get it set up sucks and kills the bank but is necessary to do it right.
