You would think that by being married and having a kid u would be a bit more responsible .... but in this case i see the exact opposite..... maybe im just crazy but i know i wouldnt be taking my families furntiure apart and grow in there residence for what a quarter pound of weed and the potential of them having legal problem for " ur hobbie"

All im saying is go ahead and GROW but dont involve them and when u do it make it worth ur while.. this is just plain stupid
Is this guy a clown or what..MIND YOU FUCKING BUIZZZZZZZZ..Dont like it dont read it

awesome stelthy, great build!!

you know, if you ever need to raise the hood higher, you may be able to use 6 inch PVC or drain and it may allow you to get a few inches closer to the roof of the cab.

Cheers man :) I'll look into that......since the lowest the reflector can now go is 12/13" (level with the scrog net) I'll see if I can trim the amount of ducting I'am using on the 90 degree elbow ...by. doing so should get me a bit closer to the top...If not I will fully look into what you have suggested many thanks and REP - STELTHY :leaf:

Ok so here's some question's : Has any one used either of these 2 products? Are they worth it? How much difference do they make?

The Equalizer™ - Hot Spot Diffuser





Simply slide this unique product over a mogul base socket on most horizontal burning reflectors to filter and disperse the intense “hot spot” of light directly under an HID lamp.
With the hot spot diffused, you can hang reflectors closer to the plant canopy while reducing the risk of burning the plants directly under the lamp.
The revolutionary shape, size and hole patterns were designed using the latest lighting development software.
The Equalizer™ will aid in improving the uniformity of your fixture by reducing the hot spot below the lamp.

Made of 95% reflective German aluminum.

Patent Pending.

Fixtures that will accept the Equalizer™: Cool Sun, Cool Sun XL, Super Sun 2, Yield Master 6”, Great White, Magnum XXXL 6”, Magnum XXXL 8”, Large Convertible, Yield Master 4”, Agrotech, Agrotech - Magnum, Vertizontal, Silver Sun, Econowing and Lumen Max.

Super-Spreader®





The ALL NEW Super-Spreader® combines common sense and innovation with advancements in effective surface technology to produce a truly Super Light Spreader! The new design is attractive, lightweight and easy to install. The 'Spreader Heads' are made from 97% reflective glass-coated aluminum with a prismatic micro-textured surface.

This incredible alloy is super cool, very reflective and creates even light distribution. The prismatic surface reflects and redirects light in a selective 4-way pattern for incredible results!

How & Why They Work! The design of the Super Spreader® is based on logic and simplicity. All horizontal reflectors create an over hot, over bright spot directly beneath the lamp. The Super-Spreader® spreads the excess light and heat proportionally to all areas of the grow room (especially the corners and edges which are often underlit). This creates even light and more harmonious growing conditions throughout the entire grow room.

NOTE: By attaching the Super-Spreader® accessory, the Adjust-A-Wings® performance may be enhanced significantly.

Adjust-A-Wings® fited with Super-Spreader® can be lowered to an unprecendented 10"-12" from growing plants to produce awesome growing power while maintaining maximum area coverage and minimum heat build-up. Yield increases of up to 50% are not uncommon with proper use of this truly outstanding product.

If either of these (this one and the one on the previous page) REALLY DO reduce heat build up and or spread the light output even better, I figure WHY NOT? :) but I don't want to waste money either on the wrong one or either - if its just marketing and neither do squat!

Please if you can help n throw me a bone :) lol

As always I will reward any great/helpful answers with REP

Hope someone can help ASAP, many thanks - STELTHY :leaf:

Also this thing looks like it could not only minimised HEAT but also the NOISE of the air being pulled through it - Bonus! ....Looks like I may have to add a few more things to my shopping list :) ~ oh well :)



Sun Shield® Reflector & Ducting Heat Shield






The reflector heat shield is a sturdy, custom-fitted cover that double-insulates your existing air-cooled hood against the heat your lights generate. With the reflector heat shield, less heat escapes into your room and is instead contained within your hood to be better carried away by your existing air-cooling. This results in a cooler environment, happier plants, and energy savings in the form of increased A/C efficiency.

IR blocking and heavy duty wool insulating material custom fit to your favorie Sunlight Supply® reflectors
Reduce your grow room temperature
Maximizes efficiency of your air-cooling by containing heat
Quiets roaring air inside the reflector
soft, durable and machine washable
Strong two piece construction consisting of a high quality insulating wool liner and radiant barrier fabric

I installed a colour coordinated smoke alarm at the front in the centre at the top, piece of mind etc... if things ever went tits up! I wouldn't wanna get torched in my sleep without a fighting chance :) I still may add some extra fire safety stuff later on - STELTHY
Whilst looking at Sun Systems/www.nationalgardenwholesale.com's website I also found this video in relation to keeping the risk of 'Fire, damage and death' to a minimal...once I've found a price I'll start saving for this sweet bit of kit :)

Hey Stelthy! Flicked through this journal... really impressive mate - keep up the good work!!

Been checking out the syn system website and found this : http://www.sunlightsupply.com/hort/products.aspx?request=HORT_YIELDMASTER_10IN_REFL&title=Reflectors&type=product

Looks like the right thing for me, but unfortunately, I'm not sure they ship to Europe (and it would be way too expensive anyway, I guess)...

A pity. These reflectors look better than the normal wing-reflectors since you don't need the cool tube around them to cool em! Just plug the duct in the sides and voila...

Don't you think that the spectrum of light is however limited with these reflectors? I mean you can't bend the metal upwards like the other ones, so that the light stretches out more
