Say id get the 6 inch one. would this work to cool the light and eliminate odors with a scrubber attached?

also i hear people complaining about noise . anybody use these?

....YES I DO!


I use the 6" fan off of this website, it's a "valuline" it's not too loud. You have to remember you are moving 435CFM, it makes noise. I pick it up two weeks ago for $110.00
I've attached a homemade carbon scrubber. Works like a charm.
However,
I could use some input on further design for ventilation. I'd like to somehow add light venting. Here is my 1200 watt 10 x15 Ghetto Attic Growroom. Any ideas?

This looks really nice. Is that a 2 gallon pot it is finishing in? I ask cause I'm trying to squeeze all I can into my space and I'm not sure how cool it is to finish a plant in less than 3 gallons, I've heard 3 is minimum unless you flip em when they're small. How long did you veg it for before you flipped and what did you veg in? Have you noticed any difference vs. bigger pots? I'm asking about the cindy 99 x NL, white rhino.

Thanks thanks

I just hooked up my 400 w MH to the ballast. I have turned it on, how long does it take to light up initially?

Thanks !

it should fire right up and be at full power in a min or so.

Hmmm... I have had it on for about 30 minutes, the ballast is making a little hum, nothing on the light.

I will turn everything off, check the bulb, conections and give it another try.

It is NOT an electronic ballast if that makes a difference.

Thanks, doctorD !

I checked everything.... Metal Halilde no workie!

Switched Ballast to HPS, put in HPS bulb... we have light.

Guess I will call Stealth Hydro tomorrow for some tech support.

Thanks for the input.

Peace

I could still be a bad ballast. The mh side could be jacked up. You need a bulb you know works to test it.

Yep,

I'll need them to send me one, we will see how they handle it.

Peace

4 plants under my 400. Here is a little bud off of one plant. Got another palnt that has 5 of these little colas. Don't know what I did right, jut hope I can repeat.

1 month old and the other room is 2 weeks old all under 400'S

It's actually only a 1.25 gallon pot. Buy the square hydro buckets from the hydro store, they go UP instead of OUT for volume, are white, and with an inch of perlite at the bottom they drain incredibly well.

My experience is that anything less than this is too small, but this size has never held me back I would say and therefore it's my size of choice. Anything over 2 gallons is overkill for a 400w light inside I think. My girls get BIG and I've never had them even come close to getting rootbound yet.

ok, thats 4 ak's (the top left 3 and bottom left) the two right ones are shnazzleberry... cut down all 4 ak's today...

will be choppin my first baby bright and early!! here's some pics in this thread https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/270166-first-time-flowering-pics-cfls.html

oops sorry, meant to say I started with CFLS, used for most of the grow, and picked up a 400watter a few weeks ago. got some chronic seeds in the mail so will do those all under the HPS!
