Hey thanks for the post. That's an excellent article. May have to try this myself!

Hey all,

Just installed a Chaysol 5" fan VT-127 B in the tiny budbox and temp dropped from over 90F to 78F so it looks like it's possible in a room that size. Problem now will be to hide the exhaust tubing.

You mean the seedlings? About 48 hours. Grew alot in 5 days since then and then slowed because of the high temps.

I've only had the fan on for 2 hours and already the the plants look like they have a new lease of life and the ones that I thought were about to die have started to uncurl their leaves. They're liking the environment now.

On the question of fire hazard I took this from the Chaysol Specs
"All motors include an internal safety thermal overload protection device as
standard"

The Chaysol is rated at 280cfm and about 80watts. Cost 140 Euro for the fan and a huge exhaust on the high street. They said the fan by itself would be 70 euro.

nice so you have one plant in the box with the 450? how much is alot in 5 days, what 4 6 12 inches?, i was going to try 3 under my new 250 with the son agro light

Howdy, About 3 inches in 5 days. 8 plants which are a mix of Indicas. To be honest since this is my first grow I don't even know how fast it should grow

yeah thats prety typical, i was just wondering with that concentraded light if you would get a noticibly fast grow

You would be surprised at what space you could get a 400w in, i wen't to a friends house and he was growing in his loft. It wasn't a massive loft or anything but he actually had 2 400w's in there and he had the lights about 7" away from the plants and they looked fantastic.

A 400 could well be a possibility as long as you have got somewhere for the warm air to escape to.

where the fuck did you find that light at?

i have a 3x3x3' area and plan on getting a 400W HPS, i was going to get the ballast connected to the light for around 140 bucks,add a glass lens to protect plants for 15 bucks, and get a fan on top of the light for like 40 bucks, that way i can completely suck the air out of the room that way, i just dont know if i should make my own cooltube
