    Lighting and ducting helpppp!!!!

    You could convert the light fixture to a recepticle box & plug into that depending on how much other stuff is on that line. Or just run a new dedicated 20anp line from your fuse-box & put the electricity where you need it.

    skm - The DIY muffler i made was based on the fact that most 6" commercial mufflers were 24" & i had some 36" x 1/2" welded hardware cloth from HD that i used instead. Figured that longer was better. I just made a 6" roll of it & inserted it into a piece of 8" galvanized duct that i cut to fit...

    Grow Tent Questions

    And whats up with the DR120 inside measurments? 3'11" ? I just ordered the SunHut XL (a little over 4'x4'x6.5') over any of the Jardens for a bunch of reasons. Steel poles, heavy canvas w/silver lining, big zippers, 2 included 6" exhaust flanges (over the awkard sock set-up) & it cost me $200...

    400watt hps vs 4' 8 bulb t-5's

    T5's put out the same amount of heat as HID, just spread out a bit more - you still need the same venting & odor control you would use with an HPS/HM system. A 4' 8 bulb T5 will rock for flowering - check out some of the T5 grows on ICMag. A 4' 8 bulb fixture will be around $300+ so they are...

    Want to use mylar

    Flat white paint is way better, easier, cheaper & doesn't make noise like mylar does when you blow a fan on it. Forget mylar - a complete pita to install & hard to clean when you need to disinfect if you get the Borg.

    t-5 gifted too me have a question

    T5's can be used for the entire grow - lotsa people flower with them & produce great buds. 4100K is a bit warm so I'd get some 6500K bulbs to keep the stretching down. I always use 3 blue (6500K) & 1 red (3000K) during veg & the opposite for flower. I have a 2' 4 bulb T5 right next to my 400W...

    Who say's you can't clone during flowering? (w/pics)

    I've done this successfully for the last 2 grows. It did take a month to root the baby flowers so it's easy to lose some of them to root rot, but they developed lots of side branches & turned into some beautiful micro bushes. Expect some goofy lookin' growth growth at the beginning, but be...

    FMJ - Beautiful cabinet!! Ain't plasma cutters the shit? I'm bettin' you keep it. Love the 3 S&P's - i'm still doing the math on my wierd space to see which model would be best for me. I'm gonna try the Harbor Freight router controller first, but i see myself gettin' a 3 amp Variac in the end.

    My Home Depot has clearance sale on security lights

    Well, first, they weren't that expensive (2 for $72 inc ship), but my dream light is a 400w CMH in a SS Supersun2 hood. Growing in a triangular space forces all the heat up to the top of the room really fast, so the exhaust/temp situation has got to figure into the purchase of any HID light...

    If you guys want a fan speed control that won't buzz the fan motor when you reduce the speed, you'll need a 120v Variac 3-5 amp transformer.

    I got them from Fluorex Super HO Flourescent Grow Light Hydroponics - eBay (item 330226815794 end time May-08-08 20:19:18 PDT) The owner of Grow-A-Lot Hydro, Bryon, is the Obie-Wan-Kenobe of growing & the biggest source of information on cultivation I know. You can find them a little cheaper on...

    Thanks edcocs - I know I'm not the only one who has browsed the "security light" sections at HD & WM & wondered if they could work for growing. I hope this thread has answered a few questions for the poor folks like me who can't do all their shopping at the local hydro store. Necessity is the...

    My Home Depot has clearance sale on security lights

    Thanks Guys, I painted myself into a corner this Feb. by cracking a bunch of UFO bagseeds a friend gave me along with my usual tomato, pepper, squash, herb seeds for my garden & ended up with 75% females & a cramped stairwell to grow them in. Oh ya... and no fancy HID's or any of the basic grow...
