Hey... I'm doing nearly the same size, maybe a little taller, but I would definitely go with CFL. If you're into electronics you can buy sockets to hook up to a store bought lamp power cable. Basically have 4 sockets connected to wires that are connected to the lamp power cable, and from those...

Does anybody happen to know if these sorts of pans will suffice for light reflection? I'm assuming they work well enough, however I was thinking about polished aluminum reflectors/mylar reflectors/silvered and I was wondering if you get better light reflectivity. I know things like polished...

if you're worried at all about putting the fans further apart you can pick up wire from a hardware store. Also, when putting a fan to a power adapter, test the lines by touching the fan's wires to the adapter's wire. This also tests the fan's blow direction. This way you can figure out which...

Interesting... I'll definitely check that out. Any tips on assembly would be sweet. I was mainly basing off of this guide: http://www.gardenscure.com/420/construction/108301-diy-ozone-generator.html. Hmm... Corona Discharge vs UV...

Thanks a ton for the advice!! I had not seen any information regarding correlation between the humidity and the ozone generator. I had been looking at UV generators, however I think I was misunderstanding how the systems worked. Are they essentially the same thing? I thought ozone to be...

I added a $26 walmart humidifier to my intake, and it doesn't seem to really do too much. I'm imagining this is because my exaust fan is pulling so hard that the humidity goes right out. I'm going to build a closed system, which will hopefully help. My question, though, is how the CFL's blow...

Hello all, I'm relatively new to the forums... I've been browsing for a while, and this is my first post. Basically, I have a wooden box with CFL's, and I'm trying to figure out a decent way to make a closed-circuit system. Additionally, I plan on designing an automation system for...

The OP on this thread got me thinking... Is it possible to grow near a window and redirect the direct sunlight via mirrors or mylar towards the plants?
