Happy turkeyday guys lol...anyone on that could drop some quick advise?

Just getting my parts in the mail to set up my closet....its 2x4x7ft. I will be running 2 x 250hps with cooltubes. I just got my fan in the mail thats rated at 400cfm. For my venting i was planning on setting it like filter>Fan>duct>cooltube>duct>cooltube>duct>exhaust. My room is 56 cubic...

Everything i've read states that centrifugal fans pull better than they push that point is debatable tho. also, i think it is safer to pull air through the cooltube rather than push. Think what happens if your pushing air through the cooltube and your duct fails. You are then pushing large...

lol the guy @ my local hydro shop didn't believe me when i told him how cheap i could get a 1000w ballast and bulb. I think hes even started ordering from there for people who don't mind wiring a few wires together. I got my 400w hps bulb ballast relfector and cool tube for roughly 120...

http://www.1000bulbs.com/1000-Watt-HPS/ 1000w ballast and bulb for 169 shipped. http://www.1000bulbs.com/400-Watt-HPS/ 400w ballast and bulb 88 shipped. Now ofcourse these are not sealed ballast, but if they are kept out of the grow room or up high where they won't be touched by anything...

it does have a passive intake/exhuast but again my fan is overpowered for the size room im dealing with so i was guessing that it would be able to pull enough air to properly ventilate both sides of the closet. Guess i wont know for sure till i set it up and try it out. if it doesnt work...

I'm excited 25 days till i move and can put this together

thanks bloom i will pick one of those up. The fan will be pulling air through a carbon scrubber, 2 x 250w cooltubes and exhausting the the closet creating negative air pressure inside the closet(Hopefully). Passive intakes low on the wall to bring in air from the next room over. I just...

I purchased this fan http://www.hydrofarm.com/pb_detail.php?itemid=8092 I know its too much for my 2 x4 x8 closet but i was planning on getting a speed controller. I've seen posts saying to be sure that the controller you use is compatible with the type of motor the fan has or you risk...

yeah but they were just bag seeds anyways

Had to chop my first male today :( Henry was kind and loving plant. He enjoyed sun bathing, sleeping in the dark and every now and then he would take a quick dip in the water. He is survived by his two sisters, mary and jane. His funeral will be held at the compost pile in the back yard...

Thanks. I just about shot myself tho. I made the same cool tube for my hps. got everything stuck together before i figured out that they were to long to fit side by side in my closet. The closet is 50 inches...two of them stuck directly to each other( I just clipped a few slits into the end of...

I just got finished building my diy cool tube and it turned out really nicely so i figured i post some fairly detail instructions on how i built it Items Pipe straping alumin. tape huricane glass(larger size) 2x 6in to 4in reducers rubber weather stripping(I got mine from an auto parts...
