Totemic Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 About 20-25cm hey. The cab was also in my garage, where my ambient room temp averaged 18C. I found that with the light on, I got a 9-10 degree rise in temp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallis55 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 That makes sense. The room in my house will ofcourse be warmer than your garage. The temp reading in the cab without the light on was around 23, 24 degrees. I also have the temp sensor about 25cm from the light. Okay, thanks ouens..looks like I'm gonna try my hand at adding an active intake. Seems easy enough in my head I wish I was more of a DIY handy man...but i used to bunk woodwork at school and rather get stoned. Oh the irony! hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Good luck wallis55, DIY can be very rewarding if you get it right, but also very frustrating when things dont work out. I would suggest plan your ass off before making any holes, thats my Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CG420za Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I'm busy looking for idea's on a grow cab, this is perfect, i'll be using cfl's, so heat shouldn't be an issue. This is perfect! Definitely inspired. Thanks Totemic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisenberg Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 This Is my kinda build! Will be watching. Quick question, what happens to the plant if there's no oscillating fan or no moving air at all? Sent from my D5503 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my D5503 using Tapatalk Having an oscillating fan keeps the air circulating nicely allowing Co2 to be taken up by the plants more efficiently. In really small places that might not be such an issue though but I would still have a fan in there of some sort just to move the air around. A fan also ensures stronger stems and branches as the plant adapts to endure the 'winds' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CG420za Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 While we are on the topic of this build, I plan on building something similar, but I have a quick question in regards the cfl's. I have read up quite a bit. I'm thinking of going with four 23W 6400K cfl's and two 23w 2700K cfl's instead of one 85w 6400K cfl. That's for 1 plant (northern light) during veg. Over kill? I feel I'd be able to light up more of the plant with that setup. Thoughts please guys? Hopefully the pic I've attached will upload. That's the light box I have, it's busted, so I'll be stripping the internals and arranging the CFL's in there. Should work well for raising and lowering.

Guest kimcarsons Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 "over-kill" doesn't exist with CFLs. Don't waste your money, either you're unlikely to keep growing, or you'll buy HID anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CG420za Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Thanks for the reply @kimcarsons, I know HID is the way to go, but my question was in regards to CFL's. Which would be the better option of the two I've asked about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kimcarsons Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Neither. HID Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
