those will be your 3 main problems.
i'm growing in an unfinished basement of a brand new house... new houses like this have lots of bugs in them from when they are framing it. spiders, crickets and gnats.. i'm dealing with it, not a huge problem.
just keep that in mind. mostly the humidity cause that can cause major mold problems.
good ventilation is KEY!!!
but yeah its feasable. do it and find out. only way to learn how to grow anyways. reading helps but trial and error teaches you instantly. only gotta screw up once to learn. | Yeah man true true. Ive had problems with corn bores in this area. ( They cut little vagina slits on the stem, more like vagina caves now that i think of it, not pretty) spider mites too. But yeah ik ventilation is key, thats why im asking, im reall paranoid, about perfection with my set up you know? It will be like the ultimate experiment.
Im not worried about the buggs yet, hopefully i wont regret it, but i need to make sure this tiny ass space could take a 400w. I mean like would any one know the number of cfm that allows plants to touch a 400w in a cool tube?
And oh with the air pumping through this bitch to cool it, i doubt there will be any mold.
Yeah man a barn. a pole barn, on the bottom flore. Anywhere above that is a fucking fire hazard. Basments are perfect! They stay cool, making cost of ventilation and noise of ventilation low. I would love to work in a basment, but in this barn hose i swear you could hear a pin drop on the second floore from the basement. Thats a big NEGATIVE. But is that house yours or just some slow construction site?
Edit - Wow i need to learn how to spell! |

| | yo upin. i have a 6" cool tube over my 400w hps and just a 6" ducting fan from home depot. not sure on cfm but i know it isn't too high since it was only $37. then i have a 4" 120vac fan from radio shack blowing right below the cool tube. that fan moves alot of air aroudn in there.. but i bet i could get my buds 2-3" from the tube. they say to test if your plants can handle it, put the back of your hand where your plants would be and hold it there for 30 secs + if it hurts or gets hot ... its too hot.
cool tubes are amazing though. like i said my box is 16x36x36 and i have the cool tube running, a 4" intake fan, a 4" air mover (internal) and then my big carbon filter that has a 10" fan in it sucking air out. my temp is 80* right under the tube and 72* by the roots.
lemme know if you got anymore questions.

Nice! This helps. Cause ive had one of those radioshack fans, the big 40 dollar ones right? 120mm i think? like 4 by 4inches? Yeah those things are pretty bad ass but i wouldnt think they could do such wonders on 400 watts, plus a shity (no offense) Duct fan with probably what 120cfm max? They dont make em to high. This gives me hopes, high hopes. 2-3? Ill have those fuckers growin into my cool tube with 500cfms. I think i mighgt be alright.
Any pics? im a pic whore, love em. Plus rep++ |

Im hoping i can get this thing so plants can grow up a foot, half foot away, and be able to touch it if they touch it with growth while im away. Basically.. im not fucking around. 500fm cauked abd loaded, your going down heaT!
Ive asked so many people, but i alsways just have to make sure, i dont want to fuck anything up... Can you touch your cool tube? Also is the air pulling air or pushing through the cool tube, cause in your pic it looked like it was pushing... Cause ill have to lower it some, maby even quite a bit for noise concerns, i want it tto be quiet from like 15 feet away,,, posible?? | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
