zen-ken Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Taking shape lovely......I would put CMH down the middle and light the sides up with LED bars...easier to mange HVAC and still keep leaf surface temperature up Get something on the chimney to prevent water blowing the fan up as advised. Probably RTW to keep the weight down. (hows the loft take weight ?) Gonna be a lovely space....like the touch of taking CO2 rich air from the bedroom but obviously you will need lights on when you're sleeping in there. What you thinking for a floor ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the LEDgrowlights site sponsor route. As mentioned you want some quality extraction for 4 led lights in the loft. mystic. Thanks mate will take a look, Think I'm going to go 10 inch extraction 8 inch intake both on a controller to give me better control over the room. Rather go to big than to small on fans I'm thinking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A problem if you end up not drawing enough air and pressure for a 'one pass' on the filter. The transition from HPS to LED took a little getting used to for most of us I think....me mostly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 @zen-ken I must admit I didn't have much trouble there, although i did add a speed contoller. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the rough cost for a decent LED setup? the loft seems to hold weight ok, the joists aren't that big but they rest on a load bearing wall which runs right through the middle of the room so its all good I reckon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zen-ken Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 The site sponsors can sort you out on the cheap end fixtures around a £1 per watt....£2 per watt for premium IP rated ones. Id still recommend CMH over HPS but the bulbs are horrendous at first when getting Phillips for veg and flower and you need new ballasts for them.....the results however and being able to 'see' the girls clearly is priceless. Maxibright does a CMH that runs off a normal ballast but I had serious problems with the shitty thing 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devon Cream Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 I worried about the no updates I hope he’s not stuck under the rubble. He’s not logged in since the 14 august 22. Shame I was intrigued to see how it worked out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
