First Grow! : CFL/HPS 8 Plants

[DKskater75]

yeah i already went out and got a sheet of plastic to cover my HPS, just waitin on the inline. the NL look much better already so obviously they just needed bigger pots... im headin out to get a few extra lights right now then will cut up my harvest plant and see what the final weight is any final guesses?

im sticking with what i said i think you got a oz or a little less..i was looking up how to set up cooltubes all the different ways and they say to push the air thru the cooltube going outside the growroom instead of pulling because you burn the fans motor with the hot air going thru its blades..but you try it and see what works good for you..

 

[DKskater75]

yeah i was already going to use the inline for the light remember? doesnt that push the air through the tube? this bud sure did dry out haha might not even get 1/2 oz...

 

[DKskater75]

alright, not quite an oz haha. not quite 22 grams either but oh well... who wants to buy an 8th?

 

[DKskater75]

here are pics of the new setup for the NL also. freshly transplanted to 5gal pots and they look way better already. also my other remaining plants that are vegging are now 2 skywalker, 2 cali indica, 1 g13 haze and 6 purple wreck...

 

[wyteberrywidow]

they are all looking good..yeah the inline fan pushes the air through the tube but some people use to it pull air from the hood..doing that will burn your fan out,the cooltube needs fresh air blowing thru it to cool the bulb and push the hot air out..

 

[DKskater75]

so could i just run the inline fan blowing air into the bulb and then out the other side then connected to the carbon filter?

 

[wyteberrywidow]

ill try to explain it...fan+duct+cooltube+duct+out the growroom..exhaust fan+carbon filter..you want the carbon filter with its own fan so it can take care of the smell and temps in the growroom while you take care of the hot air with your hood..or you can

 

[DKskater75]

but i dont know that i would be able to vent the hot air out of the closet since i would have to be open and closing the door. would it be better just to keep one side of the hood closed then and run the carbon filter off the exhaust?

 

[wyteberrywidow]

yeah you can do that..but where are you putting the hot air??bcause if you can do that then you can do it like im telling you..using the aircooledhood with its own fan you should be able to keep your room closed because all the heat from the 400 is getting out the room..if you push air through the carbon and it activates then you will be pushing hot air in your room

 

[DKskater75]

whatever im sure ill figure something out haha

 

[NYCdeisel]

some people use the inline fan by pulling air out the growroom thru a filter than thru the light finally the fan..

 

[DKskater75]

but the hot air will burn out the motor in the fan that way...

 

[NYCdeisel]

yeah it will but it will take time for that..also if you have cool fresh air coming in then you will be exhausting the cool air thru a filter so i dont think it will be that hot

 

[DKskater75]

but i was thinking of running the filter off the inline after running it through the hps. who knows ill try it both ways

 

[NYCdeisel]

yeah try it out both ways and post pics on how you set it up..

 

[DKskater75]

will do

 

[wyteberrywidow]

yeah i wanna see how you gonna hook it up..i got to get a cooltube and inline fan myself.

 

[DKskater75]

good shit. yeah im still not sure yet. i think ill try just the inline to the light and then try exhusting the air outside the room and see how big of a difference it makes

 

[paperfetti]
