Tips on Cabinet project - new questions

any recommendations on a low budget high CFM fan?

current one is 85cfm, but would prefer something that had more power for the flowering cab.

Hey Mister,

I haven't posted, but I've been following this thread... very good to see another cabinet grower (me too)!

For the fans, man, it's funny, I was @ the same situation you're @. I had a 6" 90CFM fart fan pulling air OUT on top... but I wanted something more.

Well, I bought on eBay a Dayton 10" Axial fan for like $50... rated for 550CFM, and it consumes like 50Watts of power @ most. It isn't too noisy, and it works perfectly for my setup.

Maybe that'll help you... please let us know what you do

Best to you,

don't start clones in 5gal buckets! you need to start in small containers and repot as they grow. this creates a better root ball and thus a better yeild. not to metion watering a small clone in a 5gal bucket could get tricky. when roots grow they just go out to the edge of the pot and down to the bottom leaving the center almos empty. that is why we must repot to get good yeilds. also test your cab first to make sure the temps don't go above 80 to much. i have a feeling 85cfm isn't enough. i had an 85 on my flour cab initially and had to switch to a 190cfm kitchen type ceiling exhaust fan from home depot. it works great and was under 50$. here is my stealth cab

Hey justaseed,
I love your SCRoG pics man... I'm studying them zoomed-in and everything... super interesting. Very nicely done. I hope mine come out that way!

Best,

thanks bud. i'd love to have ur plans for ur flower bow. i think i can fit a 2x6x4 in my room hehe.

they have those fans at home depot!? the home depot's near me don't have anything like that. i wish the did. they both look good. i always have trouble finding small fans for air circulation in my cabinet. my 400hps grow is easier, i just use a wall mount oscillating fan.
