Yeh I know what you mean. I was like home depot must be crazy if they think I am about to pay this to drill 1 hole!

Just did this to exhaust my small grow box I built because I used a pc fan that was 4.5 inches around and the hole saw bit was like $20+ dollars. I just printed out an outline for a 4.5" circle online and traced in on my box and drilled out a bunch of small holes in the middle of the circle and...

I also just had a thread a few weeks ago asking about a few different brand name fans and ended up coming to the conclusion on getting the ventech 4 inch fan/carbon filter combo ($100 with free discreet shipping) after someone recommended them to me on the thread i posted. I also got a few other...

Yeh I just made a small box for my 250 watt grow out of 2X2's and 1/2 inch ply. I found a bad ass small cool tube that is only about 12 inches long so it only fits up to a 250 watt bulb and some of those small 400 watt bulbs. I made a post in the deals section about it with a link to the ebay...

Your room would be 1248 cubic feet and you want to exchange the air in your room about every 3 - 5 minutes. so you would need a fan at least 250 cfms. I would go more like 400 or higher with the carbon filter. A 6 inch inline fan would be enough. You could also go with an 8 inch if you wanted to...

I just tried to look up the specs for that bulb and couldn't find it either but I'm pretty sure most 250 watt bulbs are around the same size and this cooltube is big enough to fit pretty much anything 250 and under. I got mine in the mail a few days ago and it is very well built. I'm going to be...

Just grabbed a small cooltube for $25.50 with shiping off ebay for my 250watt hps cabinet grow. It is only about 12" long so it can only fit up to a 250 watt bulb and some 400 watt bulbs that are small enough. They have 1 auction at a time and start the bid at$.01. I had the winning bid for...

Also do your research before buying ballasts that are only dimmable and use only 1 wattage light. These ballasts are supposed to be running your light at 200 watts if you have a 400 watt ballast running at 50%. It is hard to tell with some of these ballasts if the are truly running at 50% power...

When I move everything to my closet in a few months im goin to get a bigger cooltube im just glad I found one so small so I can make everything fit for now. But those lumatek ballasts are bad ass I found one on hydrogalaxy.com for about $135 but I found a promo code for their site on google that...

yeh I already figured it would be overkill as well. I also found a listing for 1 6" booster fan that looks the same with all metal fan blades with the same cfm rating that was $30 free shipping so I figured I would just spend the extra $15 and use the other on my intake or something because i...

I found this listing on ebay for 6" Ipower duct booster fans. It comes with 2 in a case for $45.99 with free shipping and was wondering if these would be sufficient to use to exhaust a cooltube with a 400 watt HPS? they seem to be of better quality or I would never even think to try a duct...

Exactly my point on those "grow tents" they sell. A grow tent that size would be outrageous in price. Might go ahead and grab me one of these since Im about to organize an extra bedroom that is used for storage to fit something this size.

I think I might go with promix for my next cycle and try it out if it is that must cheaper and similar. I usually use ocean forest as well and your right the FF is about $25 for that size.

Ipower definitely has quality products. I do use there cool tubes and there great. i haven't tried the ballasts but I'm sure they are really good quality but I just recommended the Lumatek ballast because although its a little more expensive even the 600 Lumatek setup would still be in his price...

I agree with going with a Lumatek ballast. You can get a Lumatek 400 Watt HPS/MH ballast that is dimmable to 250watt and I think there is a setting in between that is like 360 or 370 watts and there is also a super lumens setting. They have 400/600 watt model also. Lumatek is definitely...

Once again I would have to agree with Dankster about the tents. I went with a tent for my first grow a few years back and it was built so crappy. i ended up having to build a light stand out of some 2 inch pvc to hold my cool tube. I also had to rig up a 2X4 to hold up my inline fan. but with a...

Yep fan controllers do seem to be the easiest way to keep the sound form inline fans down. a lot of people are getting 6 inch inline fans and running them at 75% with a speed controller instead of running a 4inch at full speed and its supposed to be a lot more quiet. You could do a drywall...

Sounds like a bad ass set up. I would also recommend using the fox farm ferts as well. Use fox farm Grow Big for veg and fox farm big bloom and tiger bloom for flowering. start off with 1/4 of what the directions for use call for and work your way up. Your plants might be able to take more...

This is definitely the best way to go. I just did the same thing in my bedroom. I had some extra space in a corner next to my tv stand and measured it out and built a frame with 2X2's and used some half-inch plywood for the panels. I started out building the frame from some 2X4's i had around...

if i end up having the noise problem i'll try this for sure....thanks man
