thats just an air cooled hood...but i could put a lens in it...but that would be a waste of time...i will soon be converting to a CMH lamp...and to get all the uvb out of the light you can its best to not have any lens on it...and it runs a lot cooler then a HPS lamp will.so for now since im growing in kinda a grow tent/closet hybrid...i have the best of both worlds...going to try just using a passive intake to start....my grow area is roughly 2x3x5 31.5 cubic foot. should only need about 10.5 cfm to replace all the air in 3 minutes...then i add on another 5% of cfm for each lamp i have. im running a 105 CFM active exhaust thats being vented into cabinets on the other side of the room thats going to have a few odor control options in there...thinking of building a diy carbon filter. i will also have another fan inside the grow area blowing over the canopy and under the light. temps with all the cfl's in there its staying really low...some nights as low as 58f hottest it gets lights on is around 73f. but im setting it all up now and can always improve on the setup as needed. i like to keep things simple and reliable.awesome man congrats on the new lighting. you are gunna freakin love the more weight and less wires and what not. you gunna air cool it?
just for these plants im running the hps...then when these finish i will be upgrading to the CMH bulb...i will be happy just having one setup that i can use from start to finish...make this easier and faster.good stuff mr. moderator... should be ordering my htg 400 and phillips 400w cmh hopefully in the next week....
can't wait to see what these cmh's can do first hand with sugar production- i don't really care about quantity as much and i think thats why i am digging all the info the dudes at the other site are spittin.... either way and all rambling aside i cant wait to see what you guy's got up your sleeves, esp cause youll have your cmh up and running before me.....(doh!) you just gonna run the hps bulb untill the cmh comes in?
anyway, i'll probably be catching up with you more on the other site than here, i still pop in here from time to time- but alas the I.Q of this site has begun dropping at such an exponential rate i just can't take shit seriously on here anymore....
catch you on the flip side homie!!! and gl gl with the new light and setup!!!!!
i might still do updates here from time to time..but thise place has ran its course for me...full of kids, trolls, and bad info. most of the talent and fun people have already split to the other site...i know at least 200+ have jumped over. and seeing as im a mod there...i can help keep all the bullshit we see here out of there.your updates will be missed.
hope ya find what you're looking for "over there"
I am already a member there (stoney) only 26 people at a time max so far... to much work to post in both... as you know!! If it gets more popular i will change but as for now i will stay here. G/L with the new setup!!!i might still do updates here from time to time..but thise place has ran its course for me...full of kids, trolls, and bad info. most of the talent and fun people have already split to the other site...i know at least 200+ have jumped over. and seeing as im a mod there...i can help keep all the bullshit we see here out of there.
also if anyone is interested about the new place let me know in PM...out of respect for this site im not going to just publish and drop links in here about another site...would not want anyone doing that there...so i wont do it here.
that was exactly how it went down....but it was me and SP wearing socks sliding around on this shit. but i got the really good really thick black white poly from HTG...didnt make any noise and was pretty hard to cut let alone tear it. but it was shiny as hell...and as of right now the biggest part is done. all the panda film is up. wires and timers mounted nice and tight. all i have to do tomorrow is put the bulb in and wait for the timers.....when that sucker turns on we are going to be staring at it like a kid watching fireworks for the first time. been waiting for this exact setup...im giddy like a school girl...well not really...but you all get the idea.nice work man!! it made me laugh a little though... I could just picture this huge roll of shinny stuff covering the entire living room... climbing over furniture trying not to cut yourself with scissors... shinny shit making all kinds of noise and all the time you don't want to tear it!!! i know it probably wasn't that bad but it was a nice visual for me!
can't wait to see that new sun hung!
i hope so...im going to be pissed if we pull the same type of harvests that we have been. busted my ass getting the closet setup...dont think i fall into the "ghetto" growing anymore...im still 100% DIY but im just doing it with better equipment.man that is so awesome. deff gunna get bigger harvests and what not. cant wait to see. it
ps i just registered. might drop outa riu. been thinkin bout it.
peace
