I need to go to some Cool Tubes to lower my temp in my closet.
It's okay when I'm using one 400 watter in veg but in flowering
I use two 400 watters it gets too hot. I would need to put two
cool tube together with a 2' pipe in between them. And the hose
blowing out the door. Does it matter if the fan is blowing out from
inside the closet or on the outside of the closet sucking it out?
I don't think it matters I'm putting it inside so hopefully I won't hear
it. And what's the Cool Tube of choice? Hydrofarm's RFCool Tube?
And what fan do I want the $30 fan or the $80 fan? If it's quiet it'll
be worth the money~ The pic below is $60 off amazon or the rfcool
tube for about $85 it's going to be over $200 or if it's $250 what's the
frickin difference?

I use a regular cool tube. These weren't really around when I bought my cool tube otherwise I would have. I also buy my stuff from amazon and ebay because IMO HTG Supply is a rip.

I just got one of these for my buddies setup that I am doing for him. When I originally bought my hoods they didn't really make this style of hood or else I would have went with this style. Was fun putting together! Haha Looks like a very effective unit though!

Yeah that's a nice unit but $150 is a lot and I need two of them. I thinking of going with one of these on amazon I'm only running 400 watters and my MH lights are the smaller style lights. These are half the price so then I'll get the better fan cause this cheap one looks loud but it's the most popular thing for cool tube search . I'm figuring $250 but this is what it takes to go to the next level:)Yeah amazon and ebay will save you at least 25% over your local grow shops...

Don't buy based off image. I bought 3, one was cheaper and it's like some little midget cool tube. No shit the end of the bulb actually sticks out past the fucking tube. It's like 14" long but in the image it looked exactly like the other 2 I bought which are huge and more than twice the size....

fucking chinese bastards and fuck my cheap ass brain for falling for it.

find the dimensions, it should be like 2' long.
