From what I understand, those things kinda suck. They are booster fans which means they are meant to just be a boost ... not like a primary source of ventilation. You can try it, but I think going with a real inline fan is better use of money. Here's where I got my 6" fan... blows like crazy. $80. Been working for me over a year now.

Like I said Im going to get three if all else fails hook up another...
240 CFM is what matters for 6 weeks and i do plan replacing with a better fan
THANKS for the link Im looking into it now
Also I need a home depot type thing.

Those 6" fans aren't a true 250CFM. They're 120 or something. They are rated at 250 boosting and the free air rating is what you need to look at.
The 8" ones pull 250CFM free air. I have a couple of them and they actually work just fine. HTG supply claims there's is 300 but I think it's the same as the one you can get from Home Depot that's 250CFM. I have a Home Depot one and a HTG one. The HTG one is cooling my 600s and te other is pullin through the filter to exhaust the room. I'll be in twice the space soon so I'll be needing another filter and fan setup. I need to get another fan to cool the 1K light i just got too so I might check out that $80 one. I plan on getting another Can 33 and another one of these fans since they're only $35 or something like that and it pulls just the right amount of air for the Can 33.

I need to check shipping cost and if it's not too much I might get one. I'd probably put it on the vert setup though since it has 2 heat sources versus the 1K will be only one.

I'll say this for the cheap fans, the bottom cooltube is soo cool that you could lick it if you wanted too. The upper one's glass get's a bit on the hot side but there's not much heat radiating from it.

I'd like to get a fan like that but the reality is it's considerably more than an extra $40. The fan itself is over $40 more and then there's shipping which is more than the other since it weighs more than double. The cheapest shipping to me from either of those places is $31 so total before tax is $120 and I got my Home Depot one shipped to the store for free and just picked it up ($37 before tax I think). The HTG one I just added to an order of some other stuff and the shipping only went up $6 so I got both of my fans for less than one of those others once you consider total cost and they're working fine. I'm not saying they're as good as the others, just half the cost and they're doing the job for me so far.
The only thing that bummed me out was I had to get an 8" one just to get 250-300CFM where you can get 6" centrifigal fans with much higher ratings. They don't lose as much flow when attached to a filter as the cheap ones either.

I'll probably bite the bullet this time around though and get a couple CAN-Fans or something similar and keep the 8" ones as backups. Maybe...

Looks like I can get 2 of these for $240 shipped.


Or 2 of the ones 1BMM mentioned for $220 shipped.
I wonder if my CAN 33 filter would be enough for the new space that's 10X10X9 with one of the inline booster fans on it since the ratings match up. It would give me an air exchange every 4 minutes and the bigger fans would cool the lights better so there'd be less heat than now theoretically. I'll be adding a 1K light to the mix but doubling my cubic feet of grow space and all three lights would have better cooling than the 600s do now. I wouldn't connect one of those to the filter because it over run it and wouldn't be very efective.

Been banging in the 600 this weekend. Great posts to everyone, keeping the 600 spirit alive for sure. All nice bud shots as well, too many to comment on individually, but you know you will all get rep from me at some point. Couple of Q's directed towards me. Days to Haze, those hashes where made with all different types of trim, schwag, bud, indoor, outdoor, etc. Interesting to see the differences actually. And thanks to Mr West for showing the ratios.

Stelthy, that is in all essense my flower cab. That is only two of the lights, the HPS is a 600, the MH is a 400, there is another HPS aboe the MH. So I am trying for the 2-1 ratio. I also have a veg tent but I don't see the point in running an extra 300w when I have enough room to put everything in the tent. For vegging with the HPS my theroy is that the bottom floor is for scrog so I am looking for a bit more stretch to the girls for that....which is also why I am using the Casey Jones, and the Cheese for the scrog, they are both very vigirous growers.

JJSP420, i still think you need to sort out some micronutrients for those girls, it will do them wonder.

Off to do the Sunday feed and water.

Cheers peeps,

Good sunday morning my fellow roger six hundred watters. I missed my usual saturday night update, I'll get some new pics up this evening. Busy day yesterday, started off working the morning, had the exterior of the house painted in three and a half hours. Started at seven thirty and was home by eleven thirty and had my butter going by noon. Let it cook for six hours, while cooling I trimmed four plants and have two left to go this morning. The butter is finished, used about eleven or twelve grams of nice bud to two sticks of butter, strained it through a mesh one gallon paint strainer, came out nice and clean. All that's left is to separate it from the water and bake some brownies. Got me a package of Ghirardelli double chocolate mix and a new 8x8 glass pan to bake them. My girls could have gone another week but I just didn't have the room, my casey jones and headband are now under 12/12 after vegging for over six weeks.

Don't forget the smoke reports guys...I particularly want to hear about the thai-tanic.

So i have a question...

My Purple Urkle is on day 76-80 and looks about the same as day 65-70. Ive noticed a tiny tiny change in the Trics but not very much and there are still alot of long white hairs on mostly all the Buds. The smallers Buds have alot of Colorful hairs though (Orange, Brown,White). I have been flushing her for about 14 days now could it be i started the flush to early or am i just being impatient? Im going to take pictures a little later

PS: Most of the leafs are dead on my Purple Urkle

Hey guys, what do you think of my 600w setup? feedback much appreciated! check out closeup pic.
My 1.2m tent is Full... I even had to remove 2 plants from this tent due to being overcrowded, and its still packed with only 2! (vegd too long)

Q.) Should i keep my LST weights/ties in place at this stage?

Only 2 plants kicking in there, despite the jungle vibes... 4 weeks into flower
Running through cooltube with Lumatek ballast, HPS bulb throughout veg & flower (noob) and a fairly long veg period.
Im hoping to get close to the 600g benchmark with this one. i know thats pretty high as this is only my 3rd grow! but my expectations are based on my last grow yielding almost 1lb off one plant using this setup.

im loving growing in COCO (layer of perlite at bottom, & a layer of clay balls on the top) ! This stuff seems like its best used *drain to waste*, and for those interested i use the good old GH 3 part. thanks for taking the time to check out my grow!

Looks Nice Charlie. As for keeping your ties on I guess it really just depends on how much vertical space you still have availible. The plants are probably near done stretching but they will still continue to grow until harvest. Not quite as fast as weeks 2-5 flower though.

What strain have you got there?

Hotsauce yes bud pics would def help. But you really need to be the final judge of when to chop. Also if you feel your getting close just stop feeding all together and let the plant die off naturally. When i did this it helped amber up quick like but thats just what i noticed. Dont take my word for it.

ahh man I wish i knew!!! I recieved these as cuttings from a fellow friend with a green card holder, but i have no idea what i am growing or how long they will take...

I assume that one of my two plants is more Sativa, and one is more Indica.. This is only because one of my plants plant has super fat dark green leaves, the other has narrow "pointy/slender" leaves... is this a fair conclusion to draw based on that? i am not entirely sure to be honest! (the closeup pic i posted above, shows the plant which i suspect to be the more sativa one, so what do you think?)

I wish i knew what strain they were, im totally devo'd that i am this far in yet I dont even know what nationality my babies are!! i find some relief that this friend i obtained the cuttings from has been growing for decades and other clones in this litter constitute his entire crop. if i could determine what strain they were i feel like i would be more proud of them. but fuck it they look healthy, thats all that counts right?

strain dilemma answered above! what do you think??

as for the LST sitch, are you saying that my colas will still grow in height throughtout the 8 weeks?
I was really hoping this wouldnt be the case and they would now start to put on "GIRTH" instead of "height" in the colas... otherwise as you said, i better leave them weights there. my light wont go any further up! ill post a pic in a sec of my height distance from canopy, and maybe you can you tell me if it looks goldern?

so will my colas get much fatter or just grow taller? ahh this is only my 3rd grow indoors so i am abit of a noob, cmon guys!

cheers
