Hey guys, just wanna share something im building. I am running 3-1000w hps lamps in my main bloom room, and 2 more in my smaller bloom room. I set up in march, and seeing how it was winter here, heat was no issue, well with summer on its way, i decided to vent my lights. originally i wanted to get the huge 4xxl hoods (or whatever their called), but at 275.00 each, they are too rich. So i decided to get the 24"x24" blue star reflectors, at 60.00 each, they are a great bargain. these are the non-vented hoods.
well, i know a glass guy, and he will cut me 24"x24" 1/8" tempered glass for 20.00 each, and i'll get 6" elbows, to add the vents to them, so for about 90.00 I will have 24"x24", 6" vented hoods, a very good price IMO! I'm going to run 435 cfm 6" stealth fan's on them, which should help keep my temps down. I'll post some pictures when im done.
I've also ordered two 120v relay's so i can build a 4 light flip box. Its not that i cant afford to buy this stuff, i just like building what i can. i get a kick out of it!
ginnzy!
