Hey guys I had an idea for venting a small cabinet. Let me know what you think... Basically I want to use 4 12V DC pc case fans with a pc fan speed controller. 2 would be used for intake/output and 2 would run a cool tube (one either side of the globe, with minimal ducting So basically I want to use this fan speed controller: http://www.scythe-usa.com/product/acc/028/km01_detail.html It controls 4 12V DC fans at 1.00 Amps max and has a digital screen with inputs for 4 temperature gauges. I figure ill power it with a dick smiths power supply (12V dc 5amps max). I'd probably use it with the quietest fans i can find, probably the Noctua NF-P12. Has anyone done th…

Hi Folks, I'm thinking about setting up my first grow room. I've been reading the forums for several hours now. I'm planning on a simple start, I have some Northern Light from seeds botique and I'm planning on a robe grow in my shed in a couple of weeks. I'm planning on doing 2/3 plants, in soil. My first and most important question atm is lighting. I've been looking at CFL for heat (in QLD) and cost etc. SUNBRITE 250w DIMPLED SHADE KIT+ 2700K & 6400K LAMPS - AU $170.00 from Discount Hydroponic Supplies but I've been reading some posting recommending seperate individual CFL bulbs (about 4) rather than a single tube CFL. Whats the best for the plants(i) and co…

Heya all ive decided to go with some basic fluro's, as im a poor bastard with no job , i wanna go as cheap as possible. so went down to my local harware store and saw a twin batton fluro holder (small for more stealth) and the lights that go in there are as follows Twin 18w 4000k 590mm ive only got 2 plants in pots/soil. so will this be enough light power to keep em vegging? and possible enough for budding? like i said in my other posts this batch is just a first test for my growing abilities, so i dont really care if the yeild isnt big. many thanks TSJ

Can someone please help me. All I have is a long cupboard, about 7' high and a foot square wide. I have two small exaust and in flow fans, a small humidifier, and it is white "reflective" pine board. My problem is the lighting, first I used a cheep "$40" red/blue LED slab...The first few plants were terrible long stemed and basically feeble. I read up and asked questions etc. and decided that Grow lush 400w with balast, would be the answer. My problem is now with all the advertising and surgestions/opinions online I'm now worried about the electricity consumption, does anyone know how much running something like this 24/7 to start with then 12 to 18 hours a day when "flo…

Hi all. Just thought I'd throw in an early review of the sunpulse lamps. There are a few mixed reviews out there, but I thought I'd update this as ozstoners seems to rank pretty high on google. I'm running a 400w Lumatek digi ballast with a 400w 3k sunpulse in my cab. I'll flip to the 10k in a couple of months before harvest. So far I'm happy with what this is doing. My haze has about 20 decent baby bud sites on her already early into flower even though she's bonsai'd for the cab. The DNA pure Afghan I'm running is a little behind, but she was started later and I've recently overnuted her. I'll update pics of her when she's looking prettier. The consensus seems to b…

Hi Guys Please help!!! It's getting close to summer and I'm getting a little paranoid about the 40 degree days and 30 degree nights. So...... I am considering buying a portable Air conditioner. I have a few question before i grab one and was hoping somebody already owned one and could give some advise. 1.can you set a portable AC to switch on, when a grow room reaches a certain temperature ??? if so can you recommend a brand type. 2 if not, is there any sort of thermostat (like a programmable timer) i can plug between the AC and the wall socket to control it???? again if so can you please recommend one to me.

Hey guys, I keep basing my lighting and ventilation requirements on the cannaversity lighting calculator yet everyone else seems to recommend well in excess. Is this calculator underestimating values and does it need updating? Thanks

Heya all ill confess straight up im a nub when it comes to growing stuff so recently planted some bag seeds and they are going well but i cant have em outside anymore so i want to grow them in my shed out the back. there are only 3 small saplings - thinking of getting rid of one casue its really small still, so really only looking a setup for 2 plants. ive had a look at the light chart but numbers confuse me how much light in general does a plant need? will a 150w halogen work light give enough? ill go water them every day and all that. so its no big project and i dont care if i dont get a yeild out of it, its more of a test
