Hey Guys.

Well my setup is finally finished ive been planning and building. I still have a little tweaking but for the most part shes done. On a stealth scale of 1 to 10 I would say about a 7 or low 8. I say this because Im useing a 4 in vortex fan and i think it wouldnt be as loud if I had found a way to cram it inside the box. But not bad. I will be sleeping in the same room as it if that gives you a clue.
It still needs a little tweaking my temps are a little high....around 88.....but **** i have a 400w hps light in a little *** box and 88 is pretty good......but im thinking about adding another 4in intake but i dont know well see.

AS far as equipment goes.

Digital Green house 400w digital ballast
400w hps agro bulb
400w mh conversion bulb
4in vortex fan
elf carbon filter
fiberglass insulated ducting
htgsupplys euro reflector
as far as pots im useing 8lt sterilte trash cans

the size of my box is
26 inches X 28 in x 40 in
I only have 37 in of grow room.......no biggie im an lst expert

Now I put 8 Lowlife AK47 seeds and 2 Dr Chronic's Biggie Smalls in jiffy plugs last night. The plan is to let the 2 B.S. veg until after the autos are done. Then Im going to clone the **** out of the females and flower
on with the pictures

sounds like ya got'er all planned out :aok:

good luck, dude :D
 
Very Nice Job On Your Box!!
That Ducting You Used Usually Quits It Down A Lot.
If You Would Not Used The Fiber Glass Covered You Would Have Had A Heck Of A Time Sleeping!!
Good Luck On Your Grow!!!!!!
 
Your days of meager yields with CFLs are now over, my friend!!!

You're gonna be geeked when you see what the difference is with that Digi :)

Don't forget, I have a spare 400w HPS bulb (only used for about 50 hrs) if ya need a backup!
 
Looking great exarmy! My husband's ex-navy and is always coming up with cool inventions for our grow too! I'm sending you good green vibes :joint4:
 
Thanks muddy.....but check out this luck, so I had the home depot 400w hps bulb then When I ordered I asked for the conversion bulb instead of the hps.....and guess what they sent me....the hps....but when I called to complain they said no problem well you keep the hortilux bulb and well send you the conversion for freee......so I have one to spare if you need it also ;)

lets see how my yeilds get bigger with 2 gallon trash cans also .......woowoo ounces hear we come not to mention 8 of the beutiful plants......

thanks for the vibe GM......im actually a disabled vet.....glad to hear your hubby served....we need everyone we can get.
