hey man i'm sub'd. doing a very similar grow soon. is that a 125w actual cfl or 125w equivalent?

Enclaved, you're 100% perfecto good to go with that adapter.

you'll be fine. just keep good airflow. intake and exhaust..

Your CFM might be too high. Sometimes if the cfm is too high the carbon doesnt work properly. Just a thought.

What lord said. Computers usually run on more than 12v. Even if you have and old nintendo system or playstation a power cord from there might work. I know gamecube transformers run 12V and have enough amperage to run copious amounts of fans.

look at the voltage on the cell phone charger though, as it may be very low and might not allow the fan to move a lot of air.

Yeah, after going deeper into the topic this popped up and makes sense 100%. I never knew that the outside layer was a prefilter until then either so now it all makes perfect sense to me.

Pull it is. Thanks everyone you really clarified it for me.

Go to any computer repair shop/used computer shops and they usually have a lot of them for cheap. Sometimes with the power supply unit.

I dunno lol. It kinda makes sense tho..if you're pulling air through, its going to pull air through the filter closer to the fan...it wont be as evenly distributed. If you push it through there is always positive pressure throughout the whole filter.

Take an old cell phone adapter or any kind of AC to DC converter and match up the positive and negative. White or red is usually positive and black is negative. Most computer fans operate at 12 volts. Make sure on your AC/DC converter the output is no more than 12V or it can burn the motor...

I have seen a very similar thread on here explaining this but I cannot find it. I even tried searching it and googleing it. Is it better (more effective) to push air through a carbon filter or pull air through? When I googled it I found a lot of people saying to pull it, but from the thread I...

yeah the water ones. they look like little pebbles.

ya man you would need a lot of cfl's for 5 plants.

those bugs might be maggots..thats how a lot of maggots look. chop em down before all those maggots mature. lol. cant be sure tho w/o seein em.
