Busted two fan blades off and shortened my ventilation tubing quite a bit and seem to be getting the air movement I need with the Axial fan at 600 watt! :P added 1 3 speed 24" rotating fan to help move some air around and works great now. Will probably still throw two inline 300 CFM 6" fans in...

Lol yeah I don't know what he's on. Thanks i'll just run it at 600, I grew 3 plants with 400 watts and pulled 3/4 pound, one was a autobud plant that produced 2 1/2oz! :P I'll def check it out.

I'm growing 2-3 plants in my basement in 5 gallon pales with DWC. I have the Lumatek 600 Watt Ballast http://www.progressive-growth.com/proddetail.php?prod=lumatek600-swtch, if I'm growing 1-3 plants should I just set it at 360 or 400 watts instead of 600? Or should I set it at 600, what would...

Thanks brother.

EDIT** Looked it up, according to other AXIAL AC Fans that put out around 46-40 watts they are only putting 40-100 CFM! SO that must be the problem they just lied about their fan at the store. I'll have to grab myself a proper 300-500 CFM Inline Duct Fan and it should solve my problem, I'll let...

It's a 6" 110V muffin fan that runs at 40 watts. Has to put out at least 600-1000CFM, I tried running it that way first and it still got 30ish degree celcius 4-10" underneath the glass, which is where I want my plant too be, do you think throwing in a second fan somewhere in the line or...

Hey, I have a drier tube running from my window to my ventilated light tube then running out the other side to a fan. This draws cold air in from outside -10 to -30 celcius which keeps my light tube cold to touch. But this creates quite a bit of humidity inside the light tube where the cold...

Hey guys I Just setup a DWC 5 Gallon Pale with a 6" net pot took some pictures to show the water levels, was just wondering if it was too high/low for a newly planted seedling at about 1-4" tall. Also would the water levels be too high/low for a 1-4ft Plant in the net pot. Thanks! First picture...

Okay cool thanks! any idea of how much to cut off? Like from 2 days at 2 minutes to maybe 1 day? Or 2 days at 1 minute or 1 day at 1 minute? Plants are in 5 gallon pails with soil that drains very very well 2 Minutes = half a litre, drains through dirt and out bottom. thats half a litre every...

What are the signs of overwatering? Thanks :) I'll have to adjust the timer next week when I get out to my grow location and set it back maybe a minute instead of two! Should I cut water back by half or go a 1 1/2 minutes and cut it back by 25% instead? Or even less? Wheres a good place to...

How so? I used less nutrients then bottle recommended and I diluted with water at about 3 weeks when I refilled Res I didnt add more nutes. They are really green no yellowing at all, maybe its the camera that is tricking you? They water for 2 minutes every thursday at 2 am and every monday at...

Can I build a clear plexiglass heat shield or will it block light out or refract the light at all? Also do you think the lights would melt plexiglas at like 6 inches away for m the bulbs? 600watt lumatem digitals hps bulb thanks :) I was thinking a plexiglass box attached to my reflectors then...

Good old iPhone autocorrect :)

They cover great because it's only 4 ft wide. I bent open the hoods a bit and it's pretty even light everywhere. Do you think half a gallon of water is good everything 3-4 days per plant?

For anyone else with the same problem. I threw another high powered oscillating fan in and turned the two lights to super lumen 600 instead of Just 600 and turned the third lamp off now temps are perfect and looks like it will still be ore then enough light. When I transferred plants a couple...

600 watt puts off a lot more radiant temp that's why you don't know how people are having heat problems... 3x 600 puts out a lot more heat then 2x 400, and he's mine are lumatek super lumens too. When I set all three of mine to 400 the temperature is fine the heat for the lamps doesn't even...

Thank you for your help mang. Also I have an auto watering system setup with soil for m plants do you think just under half a gallons per plant every three days Is good or should I let them dry longer or give the. More water? Also should I get the vents that go over the light bulb like clear...

I agree just worried about the expense the a/c was already a lot just to keep it cool. Know of any websites with the. For sale?

Bulbs with hoods that deflect for cooling I have fans mounted in the roof for outtake and an air conditioner that's it. Nothing hooked up to the hoods of the lights Im lookin for websites with air cooled hoods or vents that I can hook up to my hoods I already have fans that i can tape venting to
