He's right.. pc fans. But for your box you'd need a few of them.
Here's the link to where I got my fans-
Surplus Center Item Detail
you aint gonna find fans that push this kinda air without paying $50 and up.
That thing MOVES air. One intake, one outtake would get your box exactly where you want it..
Just connect the fan wires to a lamp cord and plug in.
BTW, Happy 420 my friend...

I found some CFL's won't fit right in some sockets.I had two different brands and only the one brand would work in a 3 socket lamp but the same bulb worked fine in my hall socket.
Think they are Sylvania and GE.

E and PC are looking a bit droopy today. Alot of E's stems are drooping down and a couple of PCs. I'm going to go and blame this on my old pal Over Watering. I'm hoping after a couple of days without water they should bounce right back.
I'm looking at this as yet another reason that I should switch to hydro. I've been thinking about picking up the complete waterfarm system, but that's $310. What I think I might do however, start out with just one waterfarm module. I can pick one up for just $35+accessories. but, I don't know. I guess it'll depend on how much money I have when I go to the hydro shop this weekend.

Hempy Buckets are something I had never heard of before. I've been doing some reading on it and...wow. Looks like it should be nice and cheap to set up and easy to maintain. I think what I'm going to do is go and pick up the mix this weekend and then try one of my clones in a hempy bucket and see how it goes.

The T5 seems to ahve worked out really well for them. As soon as I installed it their growth just took off.

It's been about 2 days now, they're not looking any better. If anything I'd say they're even worse.
Below is E, PC, the setup, and then the Mystery Stem. How do they look? Is there something I should do?

Last time was a day, maybe 2, before that happened. There's still moisture in the soil.

I was actually just thinking about that. Instead of waiting for the clones, just taking what I have going now and putting them into hempys. I'm going later today to check out prices and availabilty on Perlite and the other thing you need that starts with a V
all you need is some perlite, and some containers, you can buy those one gallon trash cans they work great, perlite is pretty cheap, most people can find it at walmart, or any garden store..... let me know if you need any help or come over to the hempy collective.... good luck

I can't believe it....I just can't believe it. Yesterday E and PC were all droopy as you saw in those pics. Yesterday I went and took E 3 strongest branches and tried to clone them, I removed some of the dead or almost dead branched, and I dug her up, cleaned as much soil off her roots as I could and transplanted her into a Hempy Bucket.
Today...The cuttings are doing as well as I'd expect them to, but the fucked up part of all of this: Esmerelda only has 1 branch left that's still drooping.
I don't care what happened or why it did, but today I have class from 1-3:30, immediately after I'm going and getting another bucket and some more perlite and transplanting Princess Consuela.
I'm going to shower then post pics.

You know, I think my favorite part of having a light hood is the actual hood. When I had 12 CFLs just dangling over the plants there was alot of wasted light. It's not so much the fact that the light was wasted that bothered me, its the fact that if I were to look at the set up I would be blinded by all the wasted light. Now it all goes rights to the plants.
