I never did have good luck with peat pots os peat pellets or even to mutch peat in my siol mix. I seem to get it to sloppy wet or it sucks out all the water.

 

[lolmon]

just trying it to learn dont seems to work good for me, but should work better when i get a little setup for them with closed see-trough top.

Anyonw knows soemthing about a "Ion-airfilter" ? Thinking about getting one for my room, its not expensive and just need to be plugged in. Would be nice if someone had tried it out though.

Or should i get a carbonfilter? and what size then?

/lolmon

 

[hippie hill]

i would do a good ol'reliable carbon filter and the size im not sure pc fans would push threw i would suggest gettin a squirrel cage fan cuz u can get them at your local hardware store and there not to exspencive iv seen them online for $20 + shipping just google squirrel cage fan

iv never used a ion generator but you have to think about how much the unit cost how much it cost to run it and how much the replacement bulbs and what the cfm is
go over to the growroom dsigns and equipment and ask about them in there

 

[lolmon]

well the ones i can find in danish websites are quite expensive as i can see ?
But think i will make space for it in my cab and then get a decent one when i get paid in a month

 

[lolmon]

Today my 200w CFL lamp arrived, as did some more seeds, thermometer, timer and reflector. Now i only need to find a cab which fits in the spot in my room, hard to find though and aint got that much money :\

 

[hippie hill]

build it your self it the cheapest way and then it can be any size you want and if you need it to be more privet then a box/tent then you could get sum molding and build it looking like a dresser or sumthing

have you thought about geting a bathroom vent fan u can get them at a hardware store and in the usa there normaly under 50$ and dyi a carbon filter mount it on the out side on the box so you dont los the room inside and put rubber feet on the box so that u dont have any humm or vibration

the 20$ ones are good for about 6 mounth i did more research and the motors are no good so i wont say were there at

 

[lolmon]

thanks for the quick respons. Well, im located in Denmark so its not quite as cheap here unfortunatly. I was thinking about building it myself, but aint got other tools than a screwdriver and cant really ask my dad to borrow his tools for this The rubber feet trick sounds excelent i would like this to be as stealthy as possible, so maybe ill just put of 20cm of vertical space in the top for a future carbonfilter, so that my cab can be put almost flat up against the wall.
Hmm - got some thinking to do about that damn cab
