Well I did it anyway, got a paycheck today so decided to take on a project. I made a small carbon scrubber for only a few bucks and it seems to work pretty well.

Okay, so there are 2 70 watt hps's in there. The heat that they produce isn't too bad, but the magnetic ballasts associated with those are pretty hot items. I'm going for ultimate stealth so if at all possible, I would like to eliminate the need for cooling. The only idea I have so far is to...

So my next question... I'm looking to place 3 of these in my cab. Could I get away with less? Is 3 too many? So we can estimate that if each LED is putting out 10 lumen, then a single panel puts out 2700 lumen. How much light do I need for such a small square footage?

My growing space is 15 inches by 8 inches. I'm looking at these as a means of bringing my stealth cabinet temps down. Do you think that at this kind of space premium, that those lights are not worth my effort?

Does anyone have experience with this company and their products? I have a very small stealth cab that heats up more than I would like, and looking into their 14w kits seems to be a good way to go without breaking the bank. I'm pretty skilled with a soldering iron, so assembly won't be a...

The first pic is the outside, the second pic is inside looking up, and the third pic is the outside on top. I would like to use the holes that were previously horn tweeters to vent my light area.

I had some boxes at a friends house but he can't hold them anymore, so the babies have made their way to my domain. The problem being that I need 100% stealth. I took an old speaker cabinet I had lying around for 20 years, and gutted the thing out. In the manner of being nostalgic, I've decided...

I actually have a few of those from mushroom grows in the past. That's a great idea!

I like the speed of my aeroponic and dwc bubblers have provided, and haven't done a soil grow yet. Soon I fear I may have to move into a location not so suitable and am building a stealth computer case. The problem being that neither of those methods are quiet enough for me and the possible...

You should have your water barely touch the bottom of your cube. Rockwool is thirsty, and will suck up what it needs.

I'm more of a dc person, ac kind of scares me but honestly by following the threads in the DIY forum, it was a cinch. The bulbs themselves don't get very hot, so if you can remote ballast it, I think it'd be pretty optimal for you.

Get a security light from lowes. 40 bucks will give you 70 watts of metal halide goodness!

Unless you want really tiny bushes, you need more light. Also, why are they in soil if you are doing hydro?

That is quite the ingenious idea!

For nearly free, used computer stores have piles of them laying around.
