i got the same light system, and i keep mine around 8 inches above except when they were little sprouts i had it maybe 16 inches above them. also ive always kept a fan blowing up through the plants and into the light to keep temps down
 
thanks tooler i set it up today and in an hour it was 80*, with a little 5" desk fan blowing across the light

I have a plant in its last 10 days now on water only. It out grew my space and my temps got into the 90's... Ouch I like mine temps in the low to mid 80's.

I am making a bigger flower room now but Im adding another 150.. Going to use 2 of them to see what I can do.

Making a DIY cool tube and adding a fan to the lights. If all else fails I can take one back off line.


Peace
 
I'm sure its been discussed in this thread before but its like 100pgs long, but where can I get a pretty cheap 150w HPS light? I tried the local hardware store and all I could find were Halogen security lamps and such no MH or HPS fixtures, but they did have a 150w HPS bulb so I asked one of the ladies working there "do you sell any fixtures for this bulb" and she seemed kinda confused (come to think of it its kind of an odd question I guess haha) So could I just use one of the Halogen fixtures with the 150w HPS bulb or if not where can you get a good priced one?
 
the easiest thing to do is to just go to HTG supply.com its preassembled 150 is 70$ + tax. the staff is very professional and ships really fast. the only bad thing is that you cannot disconnect the ballast from the reflector from the actual plug which makes it tricky to figure out how to run the wires....othedr then that it is greatt for the priiice...got one last weeek. Hope it helps bro.

I've been renovating my grow cab, so i figured i'd post some pics.
here's how it was:

air went through the carbon filter-light-fan and then directly out of the cab. all the electrical stuff was in the same spot, under the flower chamber.

and now:

i redid how the chamber was sealed off, it's now sealed with reflective insulation and velcro. all the flowering electrical is above the chamber, with the fan and filter for my 150. and i hung a desk fan, as well. it's not quite done; i have some mylar emergency blankets on the way to line the cab. it's much more quiet, has more free space, requires less power for ventilation, and is much more light proof now.

that looks like a sweet setup bc, how many plants can you do at a time?

i could've easily fit 4 plants the size of the ones in my last post if i'd had the right sized pots. i'm going to try a 16 plant scrog next. it's about 2'x1.5'x2.5' in the flower chamber, so it's pretty small space.
 
Yo dudes and dudesses, I am building a 150w HPS cab and I wanted to bounce a question off of the experienced. What is a safe distance off of the light with no glass? What would it be if I built a "cool-tube"? I need to figure actual grow space. Thanks.
