Do you have some info on the UV light and it's benefit?

Hi dude, um yeah man I posted a massive text doc. somewhere earlier in this thread. Basically describing that short 5 to 30 mins use per day would shock the plants into producing THC more so than if they where left under the standard HID lights, but over use of them will kill your plants and the light is very hazordous to humans (cancer forming radiation etc) some complete care/caution must be sought at all times. I will be experimenting along the lines of enhanced THC production, but have some commitments to take care of first. The unit is coming along well, going from strength to strength... more pics etc coming soon, keep watchin :) - STELTHY

My bad, I started from the beginning and gave up finding it a few pages before it. I knew you were planning it. I'm thinking of adding it into my grows. Love to hear how it works for you soon.

Hi stelthy, lovin the grow room! I've just got a quick question...I see you've got 3 small intake fans at bottom of the room, could you tell me how these are wired? If there wired to a standard plug could you tell me how to do it? I've asked everywhere and no on knows lol. Thanks man

Hi dude, the 3 shelf mounted fans are purely to help lift the warm air away from the plants, my fresh air comes from a 6" 90 degree elbow (bottom left) that has ducting posted up through my ceiling into my loft :) but to answer your question the 3 fans are CPU fans.. I snipped off the yellow wires (remote wires) from each fan which left a black and a red from each of the 3 fans.. I then twisted all the blacks together with some black elec tape to hold the joins in place and the same with the reds! Then I had a 12V transformer plug which allows me to switch a few power gains between 3V (a few in the middle) and 12V. - I cut off the male connecter adapter to reveal the 2 wires and joined the black bunch to one wire and the red buch to the other.. when I turn the power adjuster between the different powers - this inturn allows me to control the speed of the fans (keeping minimal noise/maximum effect) Ill post some pics of what I can find (this should further help you) hope this has been of help to you, regards STELTHY :)

So basically once you ve joined all the black wires together and separatly then all the red wires together connect the red to the red on the plug and then the black to the black on the plug then its job done :) and you have a built in fan speed controller :) - STELTHY

Ok, I think I've got it. So you just connect the red and black wires into the corresponding sockets on a transformer plug? Do you think this would work with just a standard plug so the fans are running at just one constant speed? Im trying to connect an extractor fan to a standard plug, I dont know if this would work in the same way? I've put a picture of the type of fan Im thinking of using below...

Ideally I'd like to remove the wires from the fan completely and just replace them with the wires from the plug...

I'll double check this for you as I have one of these randomly stashed away in the shed.. I'll take pics and post them here for you at somepoint tommoz, and you can just copy my wiring.. alot easier :) - STELTHY :leaf:

Oops my bad... I think I must have thrown it away... I take it ur in the UK!? but anyhow you just wire it with 3 core to a plug and it will work fine.. they can sometimes be noisey if you dont use a dimmer/speed controller with it though, You can get cheap fan speed controllers off E-Bay for under 20 quid upto top notch ones exceeding £100. Sorry I couldnt upload you a pic, I didn't realise I had gotten rid of my old fan already :( - STELTHY
 
Ok no new pics yet but..................! I am planning on spending a fair few hours on my unit today so I'll add new pics this afternoon at some point.. I really want to add my Rez. digital thermometers today and start tidying up my cable etc, B.R.B. :) - STELTHY

No worries man thanks for the advice anyway it's really helped. I've set up the extractor fan with a plug and its running fine now... You're right though about the noise man it's only a cheap one and it's loud as fuck lol the temperatures stable though which is the most important thing..might look into a speed controller though..maybe set it up with a timer as well :D Thanks again man :D n get some more pics uploaded!! haha

Hi G.T.G.S I found it lol, glad my advice helped.. I have decided to upload a couple of pics to show you and others how it should be wired :) yeah they are hella noisey lol :) If you connect the outtake to a carbon filter, or an air mix chamber and then a carbon filter you'll loose alot of the noise, I have a pic of a cheap fan speed controller I'll upload that too in a min :) - STELTHY

Apparently wiring on these vary between 3 and 2 core.. I used 3-core but cut out the 3rd wire, (technically 2-core) this is a view of the terminal side of the extracter fan once the fan has been wired then just connect the corrisponding wires to a 13A plug minus the Green/Yellow and job done.. - STELTHY

This is the cheap fan speed controller I bought on E-Bay to control the speed of my air intake from my loft mounted odor sock. But this is all you'll need to control your in and or out-take fans alone or together, a superb buy.. highly reccomended :) - STELTHY
