HydroHut DIY

I'm on a mission. I'm interested in building a homemade Hydrohut.

Please submit your ideas & pictures.

How can I create a light proof intake duct for fresh air ? I would assume I would need to make all holes light proof......

1 x 90 degree pvc pipe = Light proof intake duct

use pantyhose and an elastic band on the outside so bugs dust and other unwanteds stay out.

what type of material are you goin to use for the walls, maybe the white/black material or ply

darkroom louvers

Thanks you for the input. I'll post pictures of my project soon.

I've framed a small cabinet and was going to use the black/white material, but plywood would add some strength for hanging my intake / outtake duct. I think I 'll use a 50/50 mix.

Darkroom louvers ? please explain.

Duh... Google search. boy, do I feel dumb.

I'll post some pictures, then you'll be impressed. It's going to be nice.

darkroom louvers are a way to get fresh air in without light leaks
very small compared to pvc fresh air vents
im tryin to think of the strongest yet smallest material i can use to make one
hope this helps:stoned:

Is it easier to try and make one or go down to the local hydro store and buy one?

dont know if they have
go to amazon or ebay and you can get them fairly cheap

I think I like the idea of using 90 pvc and maybe adding a little extension to keep out stray light....

I've also been toying with adding a small a/c unit or co2. Overkill ? Both would be a great source for fresh air.

With just a 90 degree fitting you will still get a pretty good little light leak. I would go with what Texas Grass posted that's very nice. :thumbsup:

You should watch the Jorge Cervantes grow video. You can easily DL it from any torrent site, like isohunt.com. Any way, it gos over in detail the way I build my grow rooms, and its VERY inexpensive, and is very easy and logical to build and use. laterz..

is it ok for me to provide links to bit torrent sites? Just curious...

i got that one a week ago its pretty good
i usually use demonoid.com
torrents are the bomb, u can find anything there free
