400w Club-Show Off Your 400w Pride And Joy

That is a nice setup for that tent. I have the same size and was trying to figure how I was gonna fit a fan and filter in there. That looks like a fairly large filter for the space. Was that by design? I am hoping to keep everything hooked to the top of my tent rather than down the side like that but I may have to go that way. Nice grow, btw. :clap:

You're talking about the flower tent right? thanks for the compliment. yeah, i would like to have the carbon filter up in the top, but with that daystar ac, i don't have enough room depth wise to fit it in there. It's a 4" can filter, pretty much the smallest one I could fine. I could build a smaller one now, but at the time is was the one. I have thought about putting it on the exhaust of my inline fan, but if it's not broke, don't fix it.
 
I had to get different brand bulbs (new) twice now since my 400 Lumatek would not ignite the bulbs. I had to finally go with Hortilux. The Ushio would not ignite on any of the 400 Lumatek ballasts at the Hydro store for some reason.

This is my "Ghetto Grow" closet. Everything in it was either free or dirt cheap. I was given a brand new 400w MH construction high bay light. I made a cool hood for it. I also am using the cfl's from my Aerogarden. I am using shelves to adjust the height of the plants instead of raising the light. I used 90 degree elbows from the harware store to attach the 4" dryer duct to. To circulate the cold air from my attic I use a 5" desk fan That I took apart and mounted inside a gallon pickle jar (plastic) that I cut the end off. The hot air goes back up to the attic. The closet is 2'x2'x5'. I am using 3 gallon grow bags with pro-mix soil (perlite,vermiculite, soil and sand). The 3 plants are Papaya's They are about 12" tall and going into 36 hour darkness tomorrow followed by 12/12. This is my first real grow so take it easy on me. Also check out the journal and let me know.

Thanks, upinchronic, for starting this really inspirational thread. I just bought a 400W MH/HPS switchable for my first grow. All in all, things are going great at about 3 weeks... but then you read about someone's bank of (5) 1000's for flowering and you're like.. shit, I don't have enough light!

Cured that!!
 
what would you guys say be the max sq ftage a 400w can do? i have a big walk in closet, but i only have a 400w and wont be able to get any more HID lights anytime soon, i do entertain the idea of having extra cfls around the closet, thaanks.
