Thanks for your service " And my freedoms" if i wasn't disabled i would be right next to you fighting!!!! Its an honor to have a service man on my thread! Im named after a WW2 fighter pilot military is in my blood but this f'd up back only allows me to frag varmints would much rather use a barret and engage targets at the 2000 meter range with you guys! Stay sharp out there buddy!

Ordered new 120mm fans today i got them super cheap from newegg.com i got 4 of them for $33 and free shipping
"My old ones 46CFM 20DB"
Scythe "SLIP STREAM" 120x 25mm Case Fan 1900rpm 110.31CFM 37.00 dBA
The reason i bought 4 is because i plain on making a veg and turning the one i have now into a flowering only box Also if need be i can install them into the flower box to get more heat out of the box. I plan on ordering another power supply, two fan controllers and fan cable extensions so i can have them out of the box reducing even more heat.

Yeah $33 for $75 worth of fans more if you go to another store im pretty stoked plus its almost 3 times the CFM for less then 2x the db and with the fan controllers i will be able to turn them down at night and raise the CFM during the day Now we will see how long it takes to get here in the mail hoping for my light in the next couple days Thinking i might just blast them with the HPS out of the box in a corner for the next week or so cuz its freaking hot and only going to get hotter.... F summer im a indoor grower without ac

I will when my HPS come in the mail i will run only bulb in the box i was talking about the power suplies to my fans they get hot so the only thing i will be running that will produce heat with be the bulb and maybe some CFL I can stay cool with 8 26w CFL and 2 80w cfls so i think/know with the new fans i will be just fine running the 150HPS and half a dozen or so 23-26 w CFLs the reason why i said run the HPS in a corner outside the box is so i can pay more attention to the white widow cuz she is shorter and i want to try to keep her that why till the others are done Cant wait to have Mr ups knock on the door neither can my budding plants 4 26w aren't enough 2700K spectrum

Put in the 150 HPS today temps are fine a slight bit hotter but then again its the hottest day so far of the summer here box is running low 80's
not horrible but not the golden 76 i prefer. The switch went smooth like i was hoping for it just fits and they are loving it hairs going crazy even the widow is growing like crazy Just need my need fans and it will be done for now until i need to control the rpm of the fans then i will place an order with coolerguys.com might just place one now so i can have them next week so i can set up a veg box and still make good use of these cfl lights
