I was wondering, i had two 200 watt flourex flo lights. I want to make a small box in my closet, say 12"x12"x3ft high. I want to use a bathroom fan to exhaust the air out. Arent bathroom exhaust fans very noisey. I plan on putting intake holes in the bottom. So my question is. With this exhaust system, and these lights. Could i say grow one bubbler hydro plant in this area, to full size and flower? If so wut size would i need to flower it at. Thanks.
I use bathroom exhaust fans in 3 of my boxes the 2 stage you can not hear them at all. Box in garage 2x3x4 you can hear it a little. I use the 50 cfm (5.0 sones)$13 fan from Lowes but will be upgrading to the 110 cfm for $64 and 4.0 sones 2 200w fluorex lights were did you get them. I thought Light of america highest wattage light was the 125w hope that helps
I got mine from lowes. Its in the secruity light section. It is a 200watt flo. It gets kinda hot. I will have to put a box fan on it to cool it down. My box wont be a 2 stage. Do you think you can hear a 50cfm bathroom fan in a 1x1x3 ft box. Mainly i want to use this box for veg. Before i put them into my flower box which is 4x4x4 ft. Thanks
Where is your box at? Mine in the garage, you hear a hommmmm Not really noticable but no one goes in there but me & family.
Mine is going to be in my closet, which is in my room, and it could prolly be heard pretty loud into the living room. I need to find a way to make it sound proof. I want this to be stealth. I was thinkin i could make it 2x2x3. Since i got a lil more room. But im not sure yet. I plan on using bubblers, 5 gallon buckets using grow rocks and rockwool, im going to start my seeds in the rockwool, then put the rockwool into the cup with grow rocks around it. I plan on using well water, since thats all we have. Its a ph of 7 tap. So im going to have to let it sit for 24 hours, and add ph down to it. I dont have a good ph checker, so i might invest in one. Should i run both 200 watt flos in a 2x2x3 ft box or just one. Thanks for finding an intrest in my grow, and thanks for the help. Peace
I don't think you will be able to hear it in your closet My 2 stage is in living room both fans are on, even at night i don't hear anything, I would be more worried about the air pump than your exhasut fan. They say more light is better but then more Heat, IMO I go with one for a couple of days, get you Temps setting, then add the other light if your temps are getting too high , Time to get a bigger fan or remove a light Tip on the exhaust fan - if you mount it to the top of the box use some rubber 3/8 fuel line to stop the vibation from the fan, Best way is to cut a sqaure hole at the top if you can, the duck tape the sides to seal off light Good Luck
thanks rodge, im going to get wood and a exhaust fan soon. My veg setup will be for 2 plants. Ima grow them to alternating nodes, then flower them to find out sex, and take cuttings. Thanks I plan on taking my plants to my 4x4x4ft grow box. It has a 400watt hps in it and a 265cfm fan. Thanks for helping me out. Peace
