Stelthy's 600W Hps Project! (New-Cab)

the clear bag idea might cause alot of humidity on plants. u mighta said that....lol. I like the dampner idea. Im off to the hydro store. Im thiinking of some ideas for you. If I strike genius Ill let ya know stealth. I sometimes have a way of doing that.

if your exhaust is carbon scrubbed, can you recirculate the exhaust into your intake? i know this may fuck with temps, or you could have your exhaust and intake meet up in the loft above so the air would cool down before it re-entered the cab. this would essentially seal the room. or use one of those remote dampeners so that you have 2 air systems, one with recirculating air like i mentioned and one with it pulling air and pushing exhaust seperately. i guess with the intake and exhaust in the same room, it is still recirculating the air to an extent. just some thoughts, but if you went this route i would advise to have a ppm meter in the room and the cab so you can monitor for leakage.

Cheer's dude the dampner idea was great, but the downside was I would have to shut off the cooling exhaust fan and then the lamp would over heat the growroom! I could run a separate system for the lighting and another for air/odor, but the noise of 2 fans would be to much, and also there would be some serious space issue's I'll keep my fingers crossed you come back with the Genius Theory - STELTHY

Hi GB I like the recirculating idea very much, I may have to come up with a few diagrams and play around with them 1st, in order to come up with the best method/blue print. I will most likely concentrate on the idea/design etc this time around, get this grow out the way and then apply the idea next time around ready for my 400W test grow. I ve added REP to you for that idea, cooling could be difficult, but Iam sure there's a way...I'll look into my options there

Do you know of a good/excellent PPM Meter and where I could find one? - STELTHY

glad my idea may be able to help, thanks for the rep! as for a PPM meter for CO2 i do not know of any specifically.

I found this PPM monitor... BUT its HELLA expensive, does any on know of a cheaper model in the £100.00 area only £861.00 seems like a crazy price!

Actually I think I could have just answered my own question (cheaper Co2 monitor).....


Desktop Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Temperature
and Humidity Indoor Air Quality Monitor


******

This 3-in-1 CO2 monitor (desktop type) is designed for fast and accurate measurement of CO2 level, air temperature and humidity. Features a triple LCD Display and 15° tilt angle for easy reading. Also features programmable alarms with real time clock and calendar. In addition, it has ABC (Automatic Baseline Calibration) and Manual Calibration option.

It can be set in 2 alarm limits: upper & lower limit. It has an audible & visual alarm to give warning when CO2 concentration exceeds the limit. Once CO2 level goes back to normal the alarm will automatically stop, but can be also be stop by pressing any key. The built-in Non-Dispersive InfraRed (NDIR) sensor provides long term stable monitoring.

Poor indoor air quality in rooms can lead to fatigue, lack of concentration and illness (Sick Building Syndrome) due to high CO2 concentration. IAQ monitoring and ventilation surveys of CO2 level & air ventilation become widely applied in public areas such as offices, classrooms, factories, hospitals, hotels.

That's excellent news cos I just won my bid I won this item for £12-00 and £5 postage so £17 all in that's not at all bad I am looking forward to using it now I may get a monitor just for it and attach it to the side of my unit, Super toy, Super find !!! - STELTHY

OK some good news my Tomatoes (actual tomatoes) seed's have started to sprout and SO HAS JH!!! I will leave it a day or so more just until JH sheds its seed shell then I will start my 250W grow journal, I sure as hell hope my new reflector gets delivered soon...Tommoz would be great So expect new photo's etc etc and a slight change to the look of my lighting I have my de-humidifier installed and set up on a corner shelf on the right hand side and my bolt that I installed now forces the doors together and creates a perfect seal, I am dying to tick some more items off my list but am so glad that the wheels are finally in motion - so as to speak its literally a 3 Month wait now if all goes well and my 2 species should be ready to cut, n devour, I am keeping my fingers crossed for both my memory card for my HTC phone and my new reflector. This is getting exiting - wish me luck - STELTHY

best wishes from north carolina sent to you for a speedy delivery stelthy!!

My eyes are glued to your thread as always!!

HEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!! My new reflector came and I needed to extend the 3-Core wiring BUT the colours are GREEN, BLACK, & WHITE how the hell do I connect this to the UK BROWN, YELLOW/GREEN, & BLUE ??????

It's pissing me off thats all I need to do and my new reflector is ready to go Grrrll PLEASE HELP

I WILL GIVE GREAT REP FOR A HELPFUL QUICK ANSWER

Many thanks - STELTHY

I wish I could help you stelthy! Can you compare the locations of the wires on the 2 different sockets? I know one is ground and I thought the other 2 were interchangeable. Sorry I couldn't help more.

Ah dude, no worries I worked it out in the end, Thank fuck lol. I compared illustrations on Google and largely kept my fingers crossed Turn's out that the way to do it is

TERMINAL................(USA)...............................(UK)

NEUTRAL:-............WHITE .............................BLUE
LIVE:- ..................BLACK.............................BROWN
EARTH:-...............GREEN .......................GREEN/YELLOW


So I joined the corrisponding colours together and job done, I fired up my bulb and hey presto it worked! Happy days - STELTHY

My new 'Sun Systems' Reflector as it arrived in its box - Minus the black bubble-wrap etc Ah happiness - STELTHY

This is what came in the box along with the brilliant Reflector A CD catalogue, A Technical information guide and a free catalogue coupon - STELTHY

The light is on, its ONLY a 250W MH! and its very easy to see that this bad boy reflector puts out a shit-load more light than the cool-tube + more evenly It does run 3oC warmer so I turned the fan up a stage to compensate so room temp is now between 22oC and 27oC, and the res temps are consistant at 20.5oC - STELTHY

Everything looks awesome, let me know when you're taking orders!!!!

Again, really incredible job.

In this pic you can see my new reflector (I added silver tape to the seal around the edges for a 100% perfect cool-down ) and on the right is my new de-humidifier installed on a colour-coded corner shelf, ready and waiting for the flowering stage.. I will hide the wires with trunking and silver tape tommoz - STELTHY
