High! You should be fine bro, not that loud as such man especially behind doors...1 run 4 x MS006 and 2 x Sol pro 6 same main grow area different plots + fan and exhaust etc...
It is the bubbling water of the feed preparation that gets into my nerve sometimes Go for it! Best of luck, Peace!

High Tokaite! Sounds interesting. Yea I reckon it should be fine... Usually grow rooms are a bit loud. I'm going to have loud stuff (except from essentials like airpumps) all hooked into one circuit breaker. So if for some reason anyone is going to be close to outside my grow room, I can quickly duck into the circuit breaker cabinet and flick off the circuit which runs any 'noisey' fans. Sorted.

That's 24 computer fans. Most normal office computer cases have 2 - 1 for outtake and one for processor. So... imagine 12 computers all together?

Worst case scenario I could replace the fans with higher quality quieter fans, like I do in my pc builds. I've built a few fairly powerful pc's that are also fairly silent. I will have a bubbler system and a main extraction fan so hopefully the LED fans aren't any louder than this.

Are you going to have separate room for this? If so, just get a few acoustic tiles or whatever those things are called and put them on walls. They are fairly cheap, I guess about 20$ a piece (1m X 1m). This will spare you of any noise problems.

Hey P

Yea man the tent is going to be in a room on it's own. I'll check out the acoustic tiles idea. Good one!

Really looking forward to this grow. When do you think you will be all set up?

Well the GreenQube tent is currently on route to the hydro store who says they'll have it in stock hopefully by Weds 12th Feb. All going well if they send it to me the same day usually it will take 48 hours to arrive to me (Friday 14th). So this weekend coming if we're lucky. I'll post a message here with a link to the grow journal when it's up, so if you check back here in a week you should see it Thanks Briain

Hi Sold777 yeah the GreenQube tents seem to be the most solidly constructed and suit IWS DWC and mulitple heavy LED lights which i'm using so seemed the best choice.

The GreenQube 1224 tent hasn't arrived yet with the retailer in England because of the massive storms and floodings (worst in something like 60+ years) are hitting them and the boat can't get there. So I'm still waiting on the tent. Hopefully it arrives sometime within the next week.

I've got the electrics upgraded so I'll have safer power with the DWC air pumps on their own RCBO.

The DWC Kit arrived as did my Gravita Pro as did my nutes and other misc stuff.

As soon as the tent arrives I'll germinate the seeds and start constructing the tent and setting up the DWC kit and will be photographing and documenting everything in detail.

There's also a delay on the GN LEDs for a couple of weeks. But it's fine I'll have a spare 600 Watt MH I can use. More soon.

Hi all.

Just a quick update while I try uploading a picture to test how it works.

So I've finally got my GreenQube grow tent sent over from the UK. I'm still waiting on the Grow Northern Ms0006. But Jeremy from Grow Northern told me they'll have them in on Monday so I'll be ordering 4 of those, plus with a Gravita Pro HPS 600 (swapped for a 600Watt MH) during veg, I should be having enough light for the 1.2 m x 2.4 m tent.

I've currently got Dutch Passion - Think Different and Auto Mazar and Sweet Seeds - Dark Devil germinating ready for the lights arriving in a few days.

As I'm still having trouble viewing photos on the site I want to test how my own photos are.

I'm finishing off a grow right now which I have a quick photo of below for trial purposes. I'm not too happy with this grow as I tried using less wattage on a light mover which ended up giving me small less dense buds. Next grow I'll be ditching the light movers and doubling up on the lights instead. You live and learn. I was a bit worried about the electricity company catching onto the fact I'm using too much electricity but I think as long as I pay my bill they're not going to notice. Plus someone in the local grow shop told me as long as you keep your number of lights under 10,000 KW or about 18 x 600 Watts you should be fine.
