    Closet grow box--CFL--Lowryder #2

    Ahhh Friday. What a wonderful day. Thought I'd throw a couple pics of my box up. I put what was left of the emergency blanket on the door and put a pulley in to hold the HPS. I put the 250 watt HPS in and turned it on for an hour with the door shut. The room temp was 72 F with a relative...

    Powering computer fans....

    Alright, I'm going to check out Radio Shack but if it's not cheaper I'll order the one I just posted. To lay it out: So take both negatives (blacks) and twist them together. Then take both positives (reds) from the fans and twist them together. Then, using wire nuts, connect the twisted reds...

    Powering computer fans....

    Thanks guys! No prize yet... Your suggestion requires too much on my part la9. :hump: I was hoping to connect 2 fans to 12V DC 2A Regulated CCTV Power Supply that. Would that be too much for the fans? When wiring, would I do both negatives from the fans to the single negative on the adapter...

    4 Lowryder hybrids or 1 Dominant Indica?

    Hey everybody! I could use some of your wisdom and advice. Just trying to decide what to grow. My space is small. I'll be using CFL 6500K's for vegging and a 250 watt HPS for flowering. This is a thread for my setup if you want to check it out...

    Powering computer fans....

    Hey guys. This may be easy for some people, but I'm not good with electronics. I need to power 2 of http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835185054 those fans those fans to a regular house outlet. I think I need some kind of 12V DC wall wart but am not sure. Will one power...

    Closet grow box--CFL--Lowryder #2

    Thanks again Medi. You da bomb. I've decided to not use the reflector and use the emergecny blanket everywhere and dangle the bulb in the middle. I still have no cooling ideas other than 2 computer fans and a desk fan.

    Closet grow box--CFL--Lowryder #2

    Good shit Medi. Solid recommendation. This sucks..... I just noticed something messing around with the box and light. The reflector is way too big. I have snips but it will take me a while... any techniques out there I'm not aware of? It seems I will have to take about 3 inches off each side...

    Closet grow box--CFL--Lowryder #2

    Thanks again medi! I'll have 4 intake holes (bottom sides of box)then 2 exhaust holes (top back side of box). The intake holes will have aluminum screening (will this be enough to keep smell from going out intake holes (if possible)). I may only use 2 computer fans and have 1 fan blowing inside...

    Closet grow box--CFL--Lowryder #2

    Thanks medi! I found out I can use 12V DC 2A Regulated CCTV Power Supply that to power all 3 fans. The fans are $8 each and then $4 chipping each and that DC adapter is $15. So $50 total. If an inline fan will do the same thing for the same price and same dB level I'll do that. Thanks again

    Surrounding with CFLs, but how much wattage for veg? flower?

    Smoke Doggy: Unfortunately your calculations are off. You don't add lumens. You can have 80 bulbs that put out 1,600 lumens but the total lumens put out would still be 1,600. Correct me if I'm wrong please. Pacman : Did you make your cool tube? carbon filter? if so how? And how did you power...

    Closet grow box--CFL--Lowryder #2

    Any electricians on board? I could use one. I'm trying to figure out how to wire 3 of Newegg.com - Scythe DFS123812-3000 "ULTRA KAZE" 120 x 38 mm Case Fan - Case Fans those fans to an AC outlet. Then using Zalman Adjustable Fan Speed Connector Fan Mate 2 / 3-pin -Best Computer Online...

    250w HPS Club And Help Guide

    Interesting idea Past Times. Thank you! A few questions of course: Would I hang the cut glass from the reflector so it would move with it? If so, whats the best way you think I can hang the glass from it? I like this idea because it will save me some cash. I guess I could have 2 exhaust...

    Closet grow box--CFL--Lowryder #2

    mbp: Thanks! I described that exhaust system to see if I could use it in place of a cool tube. If I bought the cool tube I wouldn't get the 2 computer fans and just use the cool tube system. DreadLock: Thanks for comin by. I'm torn between 4 Lowryder #2s or 1 indica plant (thinking Skywalker...
