Well there is snow in the forecast so all my outdoors plants are inside with me for their last 3 weeks. Thought I'd share with you guys, I had to ditch the cabinet for now. I'm still within my legal limit with 3 mature plants and two veging. :D They are all clones from my dispensary. :D

ahaha I agree, 400w for little dwarf plants is overkill, I'm sure you could do just as well with a 250 unless you need to cover more square feet. But even then a 400w in a cabinet is kinda.. pointless when you could have 250w that will provide a better(cooler) atmosphere for the buds.

and yes, thetwotimer, they pack on weight like never before at the last couple weeks. just wait, you will not be disappointed. they look very good to me. edit: I've gotten my max temp down to 82, is that okay? I'm sure they will drop another 2 or 3 degrees in the winter so I think I'm good...

hahah yes, fahrenheit, I think if I was talking about celcius my house would be on fire. :p

yea today I took a heavy duty masonry grinder and I cut a hole in the side of the reflector. It's a hydro-farm enclosed ballast so there's no vent, but yes now I have a fan pushing the exhaust out my hood(hence the passive exhaust). I've got a lower level active intake that pulls the cool air...

yeah exactly, what else would I do? :lol: but yeah it's supposed to be 54 degrees tomorrow so my windows open tonight and the hottest part of the cabinet is 86 degrees. is that ok? so i'm sure by the morning(the room is usually cold by the time I wake up) it will probably go down 4-5...

what the frick is going on? it's 83 degrees at the bottom of my cabinet but it's 90 at the top. how can there be such a big difference?? I thought I had good circulation too.

Yeah my 250w in my cabinet is around 85-90 degrees but I've got really good ventilation so I'm hoping it turns out okay. If not I might have a back up plan, however another thing to consider though is that the room is much colder in the winter than the rest of the house, so here pretty soon...

whats the smallest size cabinet you should use with a 250? I've got a 12 foot^3 cabinet and my temps are way too high and I've even got an active intake/passive exhaust. wtf is going on?

Thanks all, and no, bluemax, mine doesn't hum at all. :D The fans are the noisy part.

which fan? :p there's three in the picture. I've since moved that pink one at the top to the bottom for more circulation. It was recessed and pointing at the bulb. the actual light is outside the cabinet too, there's a hole in the top. ;) the cabinet is 4 feet tall.

I thought I'd add mine. come to my thread to see the rest. ;) https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/243829-my-250w-medies-cabinet.html

you should just rob him with the gun you are telling him you are trading. na just kidding, don't do that. but seriously, do what ever you want. none of us here know how valuable the gun is to you, so go for it if you don't ever use it/need it.

hey thanks man

This is my recently finish cabinet. It's a digital 250w ballast. It's 3 degrees warmer than outside the cab with the 220cfm 5" fan.. :D Hope you guys like it, if you have any questions/comments don't hesitate. :peace: before the aluminum ducting goes on..

three weeks into flowering...

Hey I've got a cabinet that's 2' W x 2'd x 4' tall. Then I cut a hole in the top for a 250w HPS and the cabinets heat is in the 90s. I've got two smallish sized fans(they move quite a bit of air though) one at the bottom for intake and one at the top for exhaust and a medium sized fan blowing...

I just got some not too long ago but I still have yet to see any effects, I haven't used it much though either.

I do, I do, I dooo0oo.

yeah my pH was just a little under 7 and the soil nutes weren't doing shit. so i have the ppm around 520 with some proper hydro nutes and lowered the pH to a little under 6. now we'll see how fast she takes off!
