It's slow to fuck but the endings good.
You should be grand mate.if ur like me u got ur fan a bit over kill so she'll manage.I've mine with a temp controlled fan speed controller which works a treat
I have looked at the temp controller but its a nad german model and I cant get my head around the schematics. I have tried to add a cheap controller twice but have blown them.

Been running the cool tube setup for a few days. And man.....what a difference. It changes the entire grow. Have spent too long scrapping buy with drobe grows that the same rules just dont apply. I have had to change my views on stuff. I have a straight vent in a DR120 from room air and just exhausting out to same room but temps are still under 27C. 90% of past grows were spent on temp management. Another interesting feature is that I let the plants veg for ages and it shows a big difference. A lot less stressed. But back to the cool tube...I am so impressed. Will be adding the filter this weekend as after a week of flip I am noticing smell.

On another note.A 60w led exterior light fell into the back of my van today? Its the standard exterier light with glass screen job. I am not too up on my leads. Is a 60w led okay for seeds/veg etc or should I go mad and stick it in a pc case as a micro grow?

Hi there does anybody know roughly what the pH level rain of water is? I orderd a pH test on eBay any will take 3weeks . I'm guessing rain water would be fine?

I forgot how paranoid people can be on here. Anyway the event went great looking forward to the next one . We managed to get Dr Michelle Ross to skype into us taking questions from the audience and stuff and we also had Sharron Letts do the same.

Rain water can be acidic (5.6) and if you add nutes to this that could make it more acidic as bottled nutrients tend to do.
