    New grower needs box ventilation help

    I changed my setup around after trying a bunch of different things. I went with a 6" exhaust fan pushing approx 160 cfm with a 7" inlet hole. I was talking with a guy who said for passive air exchange you want your inlet hole slightly larger than your exhaust hole... As far as an inlet fan I...

    Bulb/Ballast question

    No I'm in the big 207 I would think so. I had the MH conversion bulb in for like 4-6 weeks with no problem. And this unlabelled bulb I just put in when I got home fired right up -- the timer shuts off at 7 so I will have to play the process all over again -- wait till I get home to see...

    New grower needs box ventilation help

    Thanks for the help Wilderb. My basement is dark too, for the most part but I closed the box up good just incase the wife needs to do laundry, etc. Also the right side of my box is serving as a mother room which will have light on longer than 12 hours a day. I found a CFM calculator that says...

    New grower needs box ventilation help

    The suncourt website lists the 4" inline fan at 65 cfm, and the 6" for only a few bucks more is 160 cfm. Wish they would have put this on the box or on the fan itself somewhere...I feel like I should have got the 6" ones. I should save my 4" exhaust fan and flex my light to it. The other one I...

    New grower needs box ventilation help

    One other option I could do is cut in a clinch collar off the side of my reflector (opposite side of the bulb) and flex to an added exhaust fan. It wouldn't exactly be an "air cooled" setup but at least it would pull some of the heat away. In trying to keep this build somewhat cost friendly (and...

    Male/Female advice

    Thanks guys, I took the plunge and chopped them. I don't have the space for all of them anyway. Just wanted to get a couple females which I'm sure I have. Thanks so much for all the great advice! And yes I plan on continuing to educate myself, ask questions, read, and learn. One last question...

    New grower needs box ventilation help

    Wow thanks for the fast reply. Currently I am not using a thermometer but definitely going to pick one up on my next trip out. Cooking thermometer says 81* (not sure of accuracy) Like you I am growing in the basement where it stays nice and cool. Heat hasn't been an issue until I completely...

    Male/Female advice

    Hey everyone, new grower here. Need help sexing some "mature" plants. I started with 12 seeds of unknown origin I got from a friend, 11 sprouted and now I'm pretty sure I have 6 females and 5 males. These plants are probably 12 weeks or older and have "revealed their sex" under 18/6 light. The...
