Fuck knows, I just pulled a pic from Google Images.

I assume it comes with a piece of glass covering the big square hole but looking at that one maybe not.

I've seen some that do though.



Like I say, fucking pointless.
As long as you buy a tube with a proper reflector rather than those shitty little 'clip to the back' ones you're golden.


Light distribution is only garbage with those tiny clip on reflectors.

Where can I order 3, 6" tubes with the large reflector Yorkie ?

Ebay mate, all day long.


These Powerplant ones are very good quality, I have one.....

(£37.49) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/6-Cooltube-6-Inch-PowerPlant-AeroTube-Air-Cooled-Reflector-/251707454184?hash=item3a9aeef2e8:g:pqcAAOSwQYZWwxtR

Although I think that particular seller is the one who told me the Powerplant's had been swapped for the recalled Lumii's, the seller ID looks familiar.




These seem ok from the picture but I'm not 100% because I can't see the reflector design from a different angle......

(£39.95) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hydroponics-6-Cool-Tube-With-LARGE-Wing-Shade-Grow-Light-Air-Cooled-Reflector/252467841008?_trksid=p2045573.c100034.m2102&_trkparms=aid=111001&algo=REC.SEED&ao=1&asc=20160824094423&meid=58340ea464de44378b8261876b77727a&pid=100034&rk=6&rkt=8&mehot=lo&sd=222200657841





And these look to be the best around at the moment but they only have a 5" version, it seems it's quite difficult to get decent 6" cool tubes tbh.......

You're best checking Ebay at least once a week if you're in the market for a few, with all this stuff being mostly generically made in China stock levels of vendors and designs change pretty much daily.

i used to! renavato and another huge pre moulded wavy parabolic. they trap too much heat. Nowadays i use smaller sunking parabolic and they are really good. I also use gavitas too.

I guess somewhere really cold people would be after that heat

just for a 1 lamp keep is simple bloom a 1k hps in a 1.2m parabolic reflector seems like it should cover the most area ?

yeah they spread the light very evenly with no heat spots but i find 3 smaller 600w parabolic are better than 2 of the large 1000w paras. The heat that the 1.2 paras trap is directly on your canopy. the best thing about paras is you can almost have the bulb touch your plant with no burn.

I use air cooled hood s with no glass or air cooling with a 600 turned up to 750(cheapskates gavitas), real gavitas and ones a naked 600, lots of airflow, 10 inch cf, hot months the gavitas need turning right down, the bulb I've turned up to 750 has been going strong for 9 months

Anybody on here use the rollitup android app? If so it it secure or should i trust my paranoia on this one?
Click to expand...
No it is not secure.

The Android OS as a whole is not secure.

Tbh it's wide open, I can pwn pretty much pwn any and all Android phones

The only way to stop your phone getting pwned is to know what I/THEY know and remove the offending code lines.

Even though I can hack the shit out of phones, I can't keep mine secure because I can't write code (although I know what is wrong and what needs fixing).





To be honest nobody should be doing anything incriminating on their phones.
I only take photo's with mine, if I talk shop in text it's all in slang.

And tbh nobody should really be using regular internet to access sites like this, we should all be using Tor.


Especially since the NSA got hacked last week and a shitload of their hacking tools got leaked.

A fuck ton of browser exploits got dumped, well over 100.





I tried to download the package but the link had been removed by the Github staff, cunts!

It'll pop up and I'll get them at some point. lol
