New Grower First Grow, Short Rider, 400W

[Slow2Gro]

Cool thanks for advice guys. Yeah I've read some fry their seedlings while others have had good success with it, So I wasn't sure.
Do I germ the seeds first or do I put them straight into Peat Pellets?

 

[agito]

you can either way

 

[Slow2Gro]

Thanks a bunch agito.
I'm getting ready to try and finish my room today (although it'll be tough since BF3 comes out today, lol) so I can plant them seeds.
Hopefully I have something close to being ready by New Years so I can clip a bud off early and quick dry.
Not alot of room in my room and having a hard time figuring out where to place ballast, Fan, Filter and how to run the ducting.

 

[agito]

plant them now they will take 2-3 days to come up anyway

Does anyone have any links to how people mount their inline fan with bungee's?
I know mounting with bungees helps with the noise, but I'm having a hard time figuring out a way to do it.

 

[agito]

ehh never had to do it but bunjees have hooks on the end and attacg to fan and a couple of hooks on ceiling

That's one nice ass grow room. They make it look easy, lol. Well my fan isn't inside a box, so I'll have to figure something else out. Thanks for posting the video, was a nice watch.

There should be mounting points or at least screw holes to add mounts and attach hooks and screws, to attach the hook from the bunjie

 

[Slow2Gro]

Yeah there are holes on the mounts, but they are small and the hooks on Bungee's are good size. I'm going to try to bungee around the mounts and bend the mounts to hook onto bungees and use eyelets screwed into ceiling to hook on to. I hope it'll work. Just got my Filter attached and had to use duct tape to attach 6" ducting to the 4" filter. I bought a 6" to 4" reducer, but with that on filter I didn't have enough room to mount fan right next to it.
Can't wait to get it all finished so I can take some pics and post them. It's not a great room or even good looking, but it'll do and I'm happy with how it's turning out.

 

[Slow2Gro]

Well I got most of my room done today. All I have left is hooking up Ducting from Filter to light to Fan. I was planning on leaving the ducting off the filter for now until the room starts smelling.
When I turn on the fan though, my room inflates. There must not be enough of an space for the exhaust to exhaust too and out. I'm exhausting into the floorboards of the room upstairs. The grow room is in the basement under the stairs and that's the only place I can exhaust too.
So I think some of the air I am exhausting is coming back into the room. I'm not sure what to do about that and how much of an issue that's going to be.
I ended up starting to germ my 5 SR last night.
