Sativasamuel, I got the CFL's from a pound shop, 10 x 11w for £1 (think the government subsidized cost to get us to use em in england as they have now baned incandesant bulbs!) Government subsidized grow felt good! I "found" the 150w mh at a building site, lol

Bad nugbong, It stunk out the whole block and I had to move! I changed from cfl's to 600w hps and 150w mh, but I do believe cfl's can be as good if you used T5's and a scrog?

hi x the way i got around the smell if you aint the room for carbon filter,is get a small bucket with a lid,buy a pc fan from any pc shop cut a hole 10 mm smaller than the fan screw to the lid.then fill with fabreese adour eater.turn fan on (make sure air is blowing out the bucket not in) this process should take approx 1-2 days to aradicate the smell.hope this works for you as it did for me

Love the DIY, but if you love your liberty I would stick with the Carbon Filter & keep a a spare.

Ta man, I like to make stuff to

ya question about the roof rockwool is yes. it contains anti mold chems, I soaked it in a bath of strong bleach with hot water then flushed wiv loads of water to leach the chems em out, I found it cleans up good enough to grow without probs,

but use at ya own risk, lol
