temperature check, 1 2

[Mr Bubbles]

Hello everybody (guy from the simpsons accent) LOL,

N-eways, im just wondering when i set up my cab and do a test run to see if the temperature is right should i do it with my carbon scrubber installed with dryer ducting and the whole works or it doesnt matter, just fire it up without all that just with the doors close, lights on, fans on?

 

[hippie hill]

you need everything on cuz the scrubber and duct will affect the air flow

Buy a hood. The DIY is great if you're absolutely broke, but you can find hoods cheap enough.

The amount you'll save on your first crop will pay for all of your equipment. Twice.

After re-reading the size of the OP's grow area, yea, DIY may be best for him.

I dunno, after making my own hoods a few times, I spent like $80 on a Super Sun 2 and never looked back... In hindsight, the time/effort/gas/cost that were spent on DIY.. I shoulda just bought a hood LOL..

That being said, I'm also a DIY dork and will always do something myself because I can
