    150 HPS Rubbermaid Grow Cab

    nice man. let us know how it turns out. and i believe the fan should quiet down a little bit if you add a carbon scrubber.

    150 HPS Rubbermaid Grow Cab

    if you go with the hps and havent gotten the light, id buy this one. well i did buy it already. its only 30 dollars so probably cheaper than the cfl's and comes with everything but the power cord, but they sell that for a couple bucks. it comes as an outdoor lamp but its easy to take apart and...

    150 HPS Rubbermaid Grow Cab

    i would go with the hps if i were you. look at the 150 watt hps thread on here, i believe the OP used a 150 hps in ONE 25 gallon rubbermaid- with only computer fans as an outtake. in my opinion, it should work as long as you are smart about it. meaning dont let anything extremely hot (which the...

    do you have a 150 watt hps also? i can keep my grow box (18 gallon rubbermaid) lights on at 78-80 with 4 cfls equating to 130 actual watts, and the bulbs are just warm to touch. and hoping with a little more ventilation to keep that hps cool. thank you for the tip as far as extending the...

    How much wood?

    well dude, are you planning on making the frame out of wood or the whole box? it seems like the whole box, my take on this is to just make the frame out of wood and get some kind of material to wrap around it. it will make it lighter and if you get the right material you wont need to line the...

    it means it does not have a power cord. they sell one for 2.95 under lighting accessories. then all you need to do is cut the end off the power cord and strip the wires and attach the black to black, white to white, and the green to green, green is ground. can anyone else explain how important...

    im going to add i havent been doing much because of school work. haha procrastinating at the moment with this light. if your interested i can post pictures of the light now that i took it out of the case, it will probably be more useful, it would be stupid to try to grow with a flood lamp still...

    yeah no problem. i havent been doing much with the light, but i just figured out it is easy to take apart. i just separated it from the case and will probably make a new thread sometime within the next week asking what to do with it, not sure where to put the ignitor and ballast. the light is...

    the light works great.. however they dont mention it is an outdoor lamp and not a grow light. so the housing is rather large and i dont want to ruin the light by trying to take it out, will probably have to mount it on the side of my rubbermaid i am planning to grow in. if anyone is interested i...
