Hey man, I originally said I wanted to try all methods so I had knowledge and experience! the UFO's did work but I wanted a new challenge after and 250 and 400 seemed pointless...So I took a giant leap to a 600, as a 1000 would require me to seriously seriously mod out my shed.... not saying I wont ever do that but... for now a 600 seems challenging enough, what with heat etc... we may have got off on the wrong foot but trust me man the science of thing's make s me wanna go further and what better way than a 600, I was looking at hardcore boat led's but the cost is too high atm and hps seems better.. Is it worth vegging with MH or do YOU personally recommend HPS only, What are your thought's? - STELTHY

I would use the MH for veg and the HPS for flowering if you got the MH bulb
The HPS can and will veg the plants just fine though if you don't want to get the MH bulb, just might not be as compact as the plants would be under metal halide

My hydro dude from the shop bent the MYLAR..hence the crease marks in the middle but don't worry I have a lot of stuff,(trunkin', measure's and cables) to cover the middle, my mate ****** is helpin yet again , things are starting to take shape we are listening to 'PUDDLE OF MUDD - BRING ME DOWN' fukkin' love that song , anyway nearly up to date - STELTHY

Ok so could I expect a larger yield if I was to use a metal halide in the 1st stage, before introducing the hps, I have a LUMATEK 600w DIGITAL ballast with boost switch and it will house either or MH/HPS tb - STELTHY

Ok so I still have a lot to cover in MYLAR, but things are starting to take shape my old Co2 bottle looks lost in there,lol, nevermind just means I'll have to buy a bigger 1 soon STELTHY

What's this? ah a fuckin' huge cooltube and reflector, A bottle of bud for size comparison.. told you NO MESSIN ABOUT!!! - more to come! - PS/ thats a shitty burnt out 400 and the bulb will be alligned central before installation.. and before you cane me for drinking Bud. I DON'T ! A mate left it at mine after a party, I drink STELLA , but with a name like Bud. I thought it was a comic way to show size - STELTHY

Ok I am off to the grow shop tommoz. to get somemore stuff! I will update soon since I am up to date now! hope your liking the change so far - STELTHY

its looking good. coming along nicely. that cupboard looks smaller then it really is, with clothes and such it was looking small, the pic with your friend shows its true size. going to need good ventilation though to take care of the heat your going to face. i just posted pic in my journal of that window a/c unit i was talking about on your last thread if you want to get an idea. hope it keeps going well.

I have reserved a 6" thermostated inline fan, its 180 quid so gotta wait a week but that will be an awesome addition its way better than the rvk one I was lookin' at before so I'll add pics as and when I do any more to this unit - STELTHY

Built in thermostat?
Good shit man, nice addition

how much CFM does it do? hopefully that will work and get temps down low enough. if not then that thermostat may be useless.

Cheers buddy can't wait to install it its a fair bit bigger than my 5" SYSTEMAIR in-line ... but so long as it clears the heat I am happy - STELTHY

What are the ambient temps of the room the box is in?
If it isn't in a cooler room you might have some problems because it will be drawing in warmer air
I would suggest hooking up your intake/passive intake to a window a/c or something so that you can have cool air coming in at all times
I need to do this for my 2x 250w HPS so I am pretty sure you might run into the same problem

Not sure on the exact cfm movement right now but... I bought a drain-pipe that I'll attach to an extra intake on the side of the unit to another thermostat I already had from my old unit I have 2 120w bar heater s for the night time heat supplements, one either side. And then the 3 grow shelf mounted 125mm cpu fans and side mounted intake attached to the drain-pipe that goes up through the ceiling into the loft area to pull in fresh cold air so with my fingers firmly crossed I am 80% certain this will be enough to cool the light( cold intake from loft) not expelling hot air into it.. and then redirecting the heat into the house, I've turned off all our heating so this one 600w hps will heat the house ... NICE - STELTHY

sounds good to me!! ill be crossing my fingers as well. the fan itself will cool the light im sure like mine does but youll need lots of cool fresh air being put into the cab which you will be doing by taking the cool air from your loft. seems like it should work.

Nice post man good start. i wish lifesgood would mind his own buisness, ITS ONLY PLANTS

rep+ for keeping ur cool lol

Hey Stelth. I am most certainly in. I agree that Lifesgood was just irritating. The cupboard is starting to take shape. Impressed so far. Thanks for posting me the link. Subbing in.
