Did you guys have to cut 6" holes for the cooltube ventilation into the sides of the hydrohut mini? If so how did you go about it, and was it hard installing the flanges? I was thinking of using reducers but they take up space and reduce air flow. Peace

yeah man, i had to cut holes. When i got mine, it only came with one single flange, how stupid huh. So i had to go to HD and get some flanges. I cut mine to install my 1khps that is just an air cooled hood, no cxool tube.

there are some pics and the onle i uploaded you can see. The top is a 6" hole i cut.

I would recommend to install the phlanges where you like them, then, while inplace use a razor blade and cut around the inside of the flange, it will leave you a nice circle. Super easy to install. If you have another set of hands available, you could say it's "too easy!"

But, if i were you, i wouldn't buy a HH, I'd just frame one up myslef. I guess the HH is good if you are renting or need it to be portable.

The cardboard is to keep light away from the flap at the bottom.

any other questions, hit me up.

hey dusto, did you have any problems with the vacuum effect pulling the walls of ur hut inward making it cramped in ther???

[dusto2k3]

yes, so i added horizontal supports that can be adjusted to the height of the plants.,

i took electrical conduit and cut it so it reached from one post to the other (51 inches) then flattened both ends

Than i drilled a hole in the flat spots on both ends of the piece i cut. I then zip tied the new supports to the back left and right walls. Since they are on zip ties, just dont tighten all the way and they can be adjusted up and down. Does that make sense.

the conduit is like 1.50 for 10' at HD.

Heya Blazeido - I modeled my hydrohut after my bud Dusto's so whatever he did, I followed suit. Except the horizontal supports - yet. I do get some vacuum but it's not that bad so I let it go.

Dusto, I hear ya on the 'noia ....I've been staying a little lower profile. My last grow I didn't even post untill it was nearly done. I am experimenting with a waterfarm now and having some PH issues that seem to be about straightened out - I'll start a new thread in a week or so.

doco, i'll email you some pics of the new setup soon. Did you see that i'm in coco and recirculating, its sooo great
