Asterion Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 8 hours ago, highway_017 said: I was going to do something like micheal but it's a rented property and i'm not good at diy really, i'm going to pick up the 1m x 1m bay6 tent and six inch rhino/systemair extraction, then a 600w hps the next week hopefully. Seen a lot of negative comments about rhino gear mate I'd go for systemair fan you've found simply because of that to be honest. Hate to slate them but there's no smoke without fire and there's alot of smoke and your growing on a budget so a £60 loss to you is much greater than it would be to the bigwigs at rhino .Another bit of kit I would highly recommend is a fan controller cos those big fans can be loud. And never know when your going to get a surprise visit . I got a cheapo 1 for 9.99 it does the job great.police officers outside my home right now so being able to turn it down...lifesaving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks a decent kit for the price, id add the £30 on to get it with a digital balast.. In fact i might contact them see if they can change the tent to the 1x1x1.8 and get it myself ..cheers.

This would be a great buy, you won't regret having good equipment, and it'll pay itself off by the first grow with what you'll save from buying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgee Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I'll 2nd fox fan/filter kits being good for the money. (Not the quietest fan but loads of power and I got a couple of there filters which should be on there last legs now but are still going strong). They do 2 types of fan though. One that looks like a tt (no experience of that one soz) and another which is an all aluminium copy of an rvk by the looks and which I can vouch for I'd say have a look at epic growtents, very good quality for the price imo. 600w Digi hps cost pennies these days.. Push your budget another 50-75quid would be my advice, get it right first time for only a few quid more innit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyDisplayName2000 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Good luck and if any other members have bought cheap kits and give them the thumbs up I'd go with that. Like someone else asked. How much is an oz? (rhetorical) Then work out how much it costs for a first time grow. It usually begins this way. Best of luck with your project.

Guest Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) what ever your budget is double it dude buy shite buy twice just my experince and two pennies worth. im in a greenhose this year as cant use loft etc i estimated a coast of about 200 ish for a new 6 ft x 4 ft in the end ive made a 10ft x 6 ft x7 ft high for just over 220.

JJJ Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I don't think Rhino is as bad as people are making out. I've got the 5" fan and it seems really well built, moves a decent amount of air and runs quite quietly. There's a lot worse out there than Rhino. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers If it's one of those Varispeed controllers, you know the basic plug with the blue dial on it, then they're possibly dangerous. I had mine to dial down a 4"RVK. It was only turned down a notch so the fan was probably running on about 75/80%. As I opened the front door to the house on returning from work the smoke alarms were sounding and the there was an intense burning smell. I freaked the fuck out and ran to my grow room to discover the fan was blowing out hot air. It didn't sound like it was spinning but there was still some hot air passing through it. I immediately disconnected the controller and plugged the fan in directly. The fan returned to normal and ran properly for another two years before I finally upgraded. For this reason I don't think it was the fan causing the issue. It still works fine. And as far as I know, RVK fans should be controllable. I can't really recommend a good one as I don't really use them anymore. I'm just controlling air-flow with the twin speed setting and passive air flaps but I'm positive that there's a lot better out there. It just proves that buying on the cheap isn't really a good idea.

Mine is exactly 1 of those ..i have a mindset of I'm trying to grow some bud not be stealthy so I'm not bothered about taking it out .Il find an alternative though as that little plug has literally saved my skin today 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highway_017 Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 If I don't use a tent and just use a closet, can I just make a hole into the attic and vent through the carbon filter and into the attic? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
