DIY Leds may be cheaper than pre-made. Keep in mind quiet is a relative term, quiet at what distance? In what context? 6'' fans in general are not that 'quiet'. A cool tube is probably better imo, the main difference is you can run a cool tube on a separate intake than the room. So for...

Are you sure this is right? Toasters are designed to convert energy to heat, leds are not,

Thank you, wrote this down Will try to read the threads in your sig. Still have more things I need to know. :D

Those are 60watt bulbs a peice (assuming you mean the 2530, I don't see any 2350 models) 120watts seems like a lot for such a small grow. I'm thinking more about efficiency and color temperature when it comes to bulbs. I meant for getting more light to the plants Different bulbs are...

Technically from a mathematical standpoint squares will maximize your area. For example a 4x2x4 tent is 32ft^3 while a 3x3x4 tent is 36ft^3....but that's really of no significance in this particular scenario, imo. It also may help diffusion of light if you consider bulbs as a single point that...

Thanks, will read in detail. Do you still consider those spectrum's the best mix? I see a lot of people growing pure white now-n-days, everything in the past was always strict red and blue. Does that sheet keep the leds sufficiently cool? They have lots of finned heatsinks like this...

Chronikool, could I ask you some questions in pm? I asked on your dead thread but idk if you saw it. :( Not many microled'ers I can ask my questions to. #LedNewbie

When you use the word better you need two different arguments. In such a small space you're probably going to be limited to cfl or LED unless you get a large fan and strap it to the back of the case with some kind of cooling tube. For light proofing you essentially just want to make a maze for...

Will one of you DIYers help me out. :( I can't seem to find anything on this.

18.3" x 7.1" x 16.8" Apparently not all day. :) Ideally I would want something like 26''x26''x10'' But yea, I take your point, thanks. Edit: Can I not edit my original post?

Any specific models? where is the best place to buy them from?

I don't trust you. Would rather just DIY. :P

Thanks. Gonna try to look for an old server case that's stupidly large.

Number one, in general, it's better to have a tall container rather than a wide one. Rubbermaids tend to be fat, you can cut out the bottom and stack them to make them taller or just go with some other type of structure. Think of how you're going to mount your lights, you want to be able to...

Sorry, currently looking into the best way to do a DIY LED myself. The options basically are: UFO type hood from some company, they come pretty small but will not be ideal performance/cost wise. Fixture LED - which have large profiles and again may not be ideal DIY LED - which is the best...

Have a few questions: Fan I have is 120v/35watts, would like to quiet it down a bit, what options do I have for this? When I search voltage/speed reducers I get tons of computer fan stuff. What type of LEDS at best for a micro grow? Wattage/spectrum/brands. How many watts LED do you need per...

What is the best site to buy leds/led peripherals off of? What is the best combination of colors for full grows? Are there any advantages/disadvantages to using larger vs smaller watt LEDS? For example 2x 50 watts vs 33 x 3 watt. (Aside from being able to mix colors) (Not a buying question)...

One that's not conspicuous in your house? For example if you used a refrigerator and put it in your bedroom, if anyone happened upon it they would immediately spot it. But let's say you used a big speaker and put it next to other big speakers in a tv setup in your bedroom, someone would be less...

Wise. Just remember cabinets may not be completely air/light proof, especially ones with huge double doors. Make sure to run some type of foam or weather stripping around all relevant door openings and seal any other loose joints so you don't get any leakage.

Would it not be wiser to put the sprayers above the roots? I can't imagine it would be fun having the roots grow all over your sprayers. Also in general watch what nutrients you use, thick stuff can gum up your lines. And cover the drain so no roots get in.
