what do you guys think of this fan i got http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MANROSE-MF100S-IN-LINE-FAN-STANDARD-EXTRACTOR-MIXEDFLOW-/260811228180?pt=UK_Home_Garden_Hearing_Cooling_Air&hash=item3cb98f8414

i read on here they are rated different to cfms and dont think its good enough reckon i should send it back ?
It's got enough airflow for a small grow, I would keep it if you've already splashed the cash for it, don't know how loud it would be, but it doesn't look like it's very quiet.

And I've decided to add coco to my dwc grow as well, the yield is not too much lower than what I would get from dwc and I don't have to suffer the pain of growing in soil (pests, poor drainage, random lockouts), growing a mother blue cheese now for some clones and hopefully in a month or so I can have a 16 plant see of blue cheese going :d
id love to try my hand at cloneing but i just dont have the rome. mmmmmm especially with a nice ble cheese. is it a bb or a barneys

right well ive just put my seeds (3/4 ") in to little diposeable cups. my Q for today is shall i just put the cups straight undermy mh( was thinking about 3or 4 ft), or would i be better off leaving it pn my kitchen counter for a couple of days. ive got an under the counter cfl (F18W/219 T8). my mh is 400w by the way

that should be 219 Teight
No way fuck that man, lash them under the 400w MH at about 2 1/2 feet (if air cooled) or 3 1/2 feet if bare. I use a 400w MH in my veg tent and have NEVER had a problem, even before I got the cooltubes. So fire away boy! :)

I've had a few 'bad breath' pheno's that stink absolutely of halitosis. It didn't smoke like that though, a very heavy narcotic weed.

Did you buy it in a shop or online? If you bought it in a shop I'd bring it back, my digital one had a 10 year warranty.

If fairness to the guy in Bloomandgrow tho, he just swapped it straight out without even checking it.

ok well changed the fuse and diff socket and still no luck. how can a ballast just stop working from not using it.

Think mine has a fuse actually built on to the side of the ballast....


Digital or magnetic...?

Sounds like it may have had a small knock and if it doesn't smell burnt then it could be a lose connection..
