I currently have my lights on 18/6 from 3pm to 9am the thing that is giving me the shits is hearing the fan when the thermostat cuts in as it is pretty quiet at night so I want to set the timer from 6am to Midnight!

Hiyas again, Iv read alot about the need for ventilation in grow rooms, and i pretty much understand it, but my curious mind never rests and i need to know more. I got one main question about it, how does one know they have the perfect or imperfect balance of outtake/ intake? Iv got an idea but wasent sure so thought ild run it past you guys. Im thinking, apart from the fresh air all plants need, does the humidity and temperature play a role? i mean, im 99.9% sure they do, so if i had a temp and humidity monitor in the room is that the way to figure out what you need? From what i understand, the Optimum Tempeture is between 20/30 degrees, and humidity 40/60% …

Omg its loud. Im thinking of taking it back because its so loud. What are some quiet models, or are they all gonna be gushing pretty good. Its a Can Fan 4' 178 cfm rating. Can i totally wrap the fan in towels or will there be a fire danger near the box with wires. Im thinking of just totally encasing the thing in towels and leaving in the box it came in. Sound good? Also what brands are really quiet....or do most people have to insulate and muffle the sounds no matter what. Maybe people can share their experience with these brands availabe at my local stores. Elicet, Can fan, Vortex

I needed a spare 600w HPS globe & realized that the company I work for deals with GE Lighting, I contacted a fellow rep in NSW and called a favor and sent him down to GE in Smithfield and what do you know?? I ended up with 2 x Lucagrow 600 watters for well under what I would pay for just one at the local Hydro Shop! I believe that they do sell to the end consumer at the place in Smithfield and also stock complete lowbays or ballasts??, as my good mate called me and asked if I wanted just the globe or the complete unit, once he told me the price I had him grab the two! I also found another wholesaler that will sell wholesale and direct to the public as well, Anart…
