GB, you are starting to mind meld with me. I have it up in a seperate tab waiting for it to cross my "reading list".

In regards to my cool tube ('er my friends ) I'm using the 5" dia hurricane lamp glass which is reduced down to 4" at the end. The tube run is short ways (18"), so 18"x90*x1"x90*x18"cooltube assemblyx133cfm fan.

So it's possible and desireable to run 400? Like I said straw poll. Sometimes I worry if putting in 430 HPS is too much. You've eased my worry a bit.


My cool tubes are identical for MH and HPS. For the 250w MH I can keep my hand right on the glass tube for over a minute before I get tired. For the 430w HPS, hand on the glass is only good for 5 seconds but at 2" away is like the 250w MH. I figure using a screen or maybe even creating an acrylic shield at 2" to keep the plants away from direct contact with the tube? Just thinking out loud. Feel free to join the convo. (damn been hanging out with a teenager too long).

I'm pretty sure that I used the info which was posted in the FAQ before the site changed it's face. For a ScrOG setup which is pretty much bud to light (leaves below screen are trimmed off) 400w was preffered in my SqFt especially keeping buds close to the "sweet spot" of the light as well as density. So if I can keep 430w HPS cool in that space then any combo should work. I still have the option of going to the dual 150w though and I would do that in a heart beat. Better go check to see how fast lights turn over on Craigslist. Like playing the lottery.

The pc is looking nice, can't wait to see it done. I'd like to see what you do for light traps, I'm working on some now. I'm wondering what kind would allow the most airflow - the sketch below shows a typical light box, and the one gumball referenced.

I'm not sure which would be better for airflow. Any opinions? (i hope my sketches are clear, theyre pretty low quality - The only important thing is that the heavy black material is whats affecting airflow.)

pics dont work

 

[Danielsgb]

can't see them either. I'm not the guy to help with light traps, & carbon filters also. I don't care about the smell, and I have to figure a light trap out too. If I even decide it needs one. Light proofing is kinda overblown IMO. If it's small, and regular I don't worry. Think full moon and street lights. But to each his own. The room I use is dark most all the time anyway. The one's gumball put up looked good and I will be using that as my starting point. Try again with pics and we'll help.

I forgot stealth is key for ya. oops

 

[gumball]

yeah, we cant all be legal!! but I read NC medical marijuana act yesterday, most of it. looked pretty good, if it ever passes.

ONA is great for smell if you need to cover it. plus carbon filter reduce air flow. for large scale ops ONA would cost too much

Here's the Sulfur Burner I made.
It's stainless steel with holes drilled into it. I mounted a L piece to mount the Ceramic Socket to. It's a Green (of course) 100W Outdoor Floodlight bulb. It's got a thick face and a metal dish will vaporize the sulfur. I'll test it in the garage, then when I know I have it timed right I'll use it in my Main Room. I'll use it every once in a while. Fuck that PM

Sweet! This is the one stop thread for your how to needs!

Yep
As I there'll be my cure here.
I'll keep this as my DIY Build journal for all projects. Keeping track is comedy.
Speaking of. I have the CMH Ballast/Timer on the wall in the garage. When it cools down in the garage I'll switch bulbs. No plants go in there till I have a Sulfur/Bleach/Mod Session. I have an unknown Indica for this bulb. It's a Lst plan.
I won't be going to bed till I see that 150W CMH on in this fridge.

It kills mold and mildew spores is the quick answer. I'll look up the thread from another site I saw this design on. Google it and you'll see the $100 to $150 ones to buy and some full answer to exactly how the sulfur vapor works. Obviously you don't want to be in the room while it does it's thing. Dark period too, and over doing it is bad for plants too. I'll get a fuller answer if I get time. Like I said keeping track is comedy.

I got the bulb changed and the ballast was wired right. It will be even better than that HPS. I'll check the temps later. Here's some pics in order as it got brighter. I also got some as it fired up that kinda shows the color changing I'll post next..
Daniels

 

[Danielsgb]

Here's the bulb color changing, they should be in order.

thats a bright ass bulb, so a late night huh? cant wait to see some of your girls basking in the light of CMH

It was quicker than I thought it might be. Last time I had the CMH bulb in I re-did a couple things to make it easier after I took the CMH out and the HPS back in.

[gumball]

cool deal bro

 

[Danielsgb]

I did a little work on that other PC for a CMH. The more I think about it the 70W is pretty much the same as the 50W for prices. Cooling it shouldn't be any harder for 50 vs. 70 and I might want to use the bulb for something else so why not go bigger to the 70W?
I'm having dinner with family from out of town, then I might work on that 250W Ballast/Timer for another CMH. I'll do a temp run on that 150W tonight too.

[gumball]

sounds like a good plan!! that 70 watter will do you good in many other apps.
