No worries mate, forgot to mention small fan controller for around a tenner can dim your fan down abit to also reduce the noise, although you might need that fan running at full whack with the 600.
I ran dwc at my other grow at the end of last year, pulled 2 crops from it but i just wasnt getting the results i was getting in soil so i switched back to soil, You do get some crazy growth in the dwc however youve got to stay on top of everything and be checking that shit everyday, also make sure to check the root temps, i didnt do that and looking back that may have been where my problem lied. In the soil i dont even bother with the ph/ec meters i just freestyle it now, there sat there gathering dust lol.
Also try to sit your air pumps ontop of something to reduce the vibration, i had 2 8 site pumps at my other spot and the vibration/noise coming from them was louder than the 10 inch and 6 inch gorilla box fans i had running
good luck mate
I loved growing in soil, mixing shit together and watching your plants grow as nature intended. Hydro is an easier way for me to go these days. Air pumps are the next thing to buy.
Good to see you're still here RIL and looking forward to your new thread.
Azad my friend, hope all is good with you and your family. Is that Wavy cut still about? Dank to the core that was.
Right...I had a spending session on the Internet last night and ordered:-
1.2m x 1.2m x 2.2m Grow Qube tent.... Blazeee, I thought it better to have more volume as I'm growing in a small bedroom, I'm thinking it'll be easier to keep cool in the summer months. And I'll probably put five plants in there.
Minimax digital system 150w duel spectrum with Sunmaster reflector for veg.
600w Maxibright HPS with SupaNova reflector.
20L buckets with lids for flowering and 10L buckets with lids for veg have been ordered.
Another online session tonight for extraction. a scrubber and air pumps. Once the veg tent and veg light arrive, I'll pop some seeds.
Peace...
Tents have arrived today, lights are on their way so I've put four seeds in to germ.
In to peat pellets, one of each:-
Trainwreck
Double Strawberry Diesel x La Confidential x Snack Jack
Cherryjuana
Alpha Dog x AK47
They're all fems bar the Cherryjuana. I think. Let's see if they've survived in the fridge.

How happy are you with the green qube mate? I've been looking at them myself and was about to plump for the 1.5 and then....came across a debate between the mylar silver V White background debate, just to confuse me and stop me in my tracks.
Hey mate...I couldn't tell you. I've not put it up yet, been sorting out the room for the tents. I'll come back to you, I'll be putting it up tomorrow/Saturday.
Before I pulled down I was using A Green qube 150. Very good tents. Nice and solid. Certainly had no complaints from me.

No bother mate, just curious is all as to quality 
what price did you get it at, they seem to vary considerably depending on seller.

Pulled down for a rest mate or other reason?

£127, 1.2m square
Edit: Sorry, it was £136 with delivery.
that'll pay for itself in about a nanosecond when you pull that extra 100-150g out mate

I've spent about £800 in all and still need extraction. Probably the best investment a man could make.
.. I stand by my nanosecond analysis .. lol.. you'll be getting a good weight out of there in no time
you're damn right though... you wont spend a better penny this year I reckon...probably the only time I dont grumble when I'm spending is when I'm spending on more grow bits

My shopping list is mounting. There are some nice new ballasts that seem very tempting, thinking of running at 400 then 600 in early stages before cranking up to the full 1000 for flower with this style of quipment http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331622327192?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
1000watt at 4 volt enough for a 1.5x? Im hoping so.

mate.. the 1.5m... tbh I think I might be tempted to go with 2 x 600s for a better light spread, but maybe thats overkill....(probably cheaper though) would certainly stay warm in the winter...2 600 dimmables?

Cheers Jamie you are now responsible for bringing me crashing back down to a 1.2x lol I hope you don't sleep tonight haha
lol for what its worth, I think the 1000w dimmable is perfect for a 1.2 you can use the 1000w on the colder days 600 most of the time and 400 in the summer on that adjusta model...mind you depending where u are, theyre all colder days and u can just keep it on 1000 lol
