just checked my calendar and unless i flip ASAP it's going to be a xmas week chop.

as for the 2 600's it's just too hot mate. i've been running one on 6 hours then the other to even the canopy. hoping i can crank it up when the winter gets here, who knows though. am thinking i might get a proper cooltube, the two hoods together i think causes a lot of drag, i've got ducting snaked round like robbie the robots spazzed out. doesn't help.

it's 10 weeks and a few days till crimbo lad.

i had a 2 hoods and screwed them together, was quite a hassle for something that didn't work 100% when finished. i'm going to get the crimbo crop out and switch to a proper tube when i change the bulbs.

EDIT: was on the wrong fucking month on my phones calendar when i started. one of those days/weeks/years

Ill take ya hoods lmao na bro keep em try a few things in sure you could get the temp down with a little fiddlin here or there mate if not then the tubes it has to be but i would nt give up without tryin first mate ;-) av u not got another extractor u could use to suck out the place and just av cold air blowin straight through your tent/room might drop temp alittle more ??

I've been tempted to just take the glass out and see if the fans airflow will cope with it but it's a real fuck on to untape and retape the glass. i'll try it afore i drop dollar on a glass tube. the room my tent's in gets sun right from 7 to7 through the day in summer.

aye it was on the cards, an AC unit would do the trick but i'd have to get a y split for the ducting which might cause bother pressure wise if i don't get the airflow spot on. its doable tho. going to try the glassout/tubes first though AC's are pricey as fuck

For AC i use one of these, my main flower tent has 3 600w and it was getting toasty even with air cooled hoods so i thought it was time to dust down the AC which was sitting in the shed and temps droped shitloads. Can either pump the cool air staight into your tent or what i do is have the AC by my garage door where the tent is and have ducting from my intake fan next to the AC so it draws in nice cool air into the tent. Many ways to play about with it ive even thought of rigging the AC up to the light ducting and cooling the lights right down. With these portable units they generate alot of heat so its something to bear in mind, more heat than 3 600ws produce thats for sure. The AC extracts the hot air out the back via 5" ducting, you gotta get this heat out of the room the AC in, ideally id like a split unit and ill get one when i move but for now these portable ones work well.

sad state of affairs that bill, you've a sensible heed on you. if they've got your moves sussed chasing the cnuts would only lead to further bollockache.

I'm running BreedersBoutique gear ( surprised eh...) psycho killer x Livers/blues AKA '2Toke killer'. Psycho killer lemon pledge pheno and some Qrazy Quake x smelly cherry.
