Great advice man but i have a bathroom extractor fan that doesnt turn off and sounds like a jet taking off, i have a shitty black orchid 4 inch extraction which is loud even with a suspended padded box tostop the sound, black orchid intake that adds to the noise then a marshydro 300w and circulating fan.. Added together with paper thin walls i cant see it not being heard from the other side. I would go knock and ask but theyhave connections to the police so fck that . Lol.

I can recommend you a good fan that's literally almost silent to the point you have to check its on if you ever decide to change fans.
I have a few black orchid tents and they are awesome, so I bought one of their box fans last year or so, still in its box cuz it was way louder than the fan I was running at the time.
The new fan I have you cant hear through a paper piss flap door. You know the type I mean.
I had to go a bit stealth when I moved but I always chased quiet..

Would appreciate it if you could make a recommendation, stuck with this grow because it was a fuck it i got the stuff grow. Next run i will go back to organics and bigger lights. Going from cfl's to hps to led and back to cfl's just doesnt cut it.

Check out my thread about my first grow or cheap closet if you want some inspiration on budget lights. This is just over a month of 12/12C72B5D26-CD76-4841-B7E1-A83A72E45051.jpeg
Sorry about the lighting.

This is the 6" one I bought a month or so ago and I just also got the 4" version but bought it from somewhere else and might be sending it back because the insulation is different.
So if you want the 4" use the same seller. I made mistake of using a different one because I saw plastic spigots and hoped I could just unscrew and swap all my ducting with spigots straight onto the 4" version. Turns out the pic was not of the 4" one and it ended up having metal spigots so I had to piss about a bit more.

If I remember I will DM you a vid of it running that I filmed other day to get a comparison on noise with the new 4", since I had to take apart all my duct it seemed a good idea to record it so I could hear it while still connected.

I had to drill then cut the dam things off they were epoxyd to the housing. And once you get the globe off it should be flat unless the leds are wrapping around a central column.

Still looks good mate, thoes purple stems could be a mg def aswell. Bit late now but next time it could be worth getting some fulvic acid and epsom salt,... Buuut im sure you already have a calmag lol...... Got the hang of it. I h0ave 2 types of led, one with a cfl spiral inside and the other one is the same as yours. Nearly cut my finger off but got there in the end :) IMG_20190312_230821.jpg IMG_20190312_230638.jpg IMG_20190312_230821.jpg
