Hi all,
1st time grower here, so I think its some sort of rule that my 1st post is a question. Albeit this one may be a little out of the ordinary for a noob.
So I have bought a used 430w hps son agro light & ballast setup for flowering, I only have 4 sq so it is definitely overkill. Because I am in a limited space a cool tube is without a doubt a must, I am on a limited budget so I am making my own but having a hard time finding a pyrex bake a round and I dont really want to order one off ebay. I have found tons of the pasta express pasta cookers though. I am wondering if anyone else has any experience turning one into a cool tube. It has a bottom but it is plastic so I should be able to cut it no problem but my concern is that it may melt or give off noxious gasses if it gets too hot (or melts). The son agro bulb sheet says it has a max bulb temp of 450 degrees C and a bulb press temp of 210 degrees C. The pasta express can handle boiling water (100 degrees C +) but the press temperature is already double that!
Any thoughts?
