Have you ever seen purple colored sap?
Even if you have never seen it do you know what causes it?
Is it a good, bad, or indifferent thing to see/have?

Could you tell us the nutes you are using along with any additives?

Purple sap, never seen it.

Al B. I know you can answer me this one easily-

Where do you get your replacement electrodes for your Eutech pH pro series 2?

I've been searching, and can't find on in the states, my hydro store said they'd sell me their used on for 65 bucks I told them they're crazy, it's like 35 bucks if I can find it. I ran a search and I think you and me are the only ones that use the Eutech meter. Thanks.

I just mean that as the ducting enters the tent (horizontal), it turns sharply 90 degrees down (vertical) and then makes another 90 degree turn into the cool tube (horizontal again)...

The shape created by the consecutive turns is commonly referred to as an "S Turn"... and since it all happens inside of the tent.... an "S" turn inside... it seemed logical when I wrote it... sorry...

Hope this helps...

Cheers...

Is that a 4 inch hooked to a 6 inch tube? How well does it work? And do you prefer the solid ducting over the more flexible kind? Id imagine it would have a lower coefficient of resistance but I was worried it wouldn't fit well when the light got raised in my setup.

I am starting to feel uneasy answering questions in Al's thread...

I hope he doesn't get mad at me...

Yup 6" cool tube with an adapter to the 4" duct...

With a 170 CFM fan, I can have 600 watts 10" from my babies, without heat issues...

With the tent fully closed, high temp at "plant top" level has been 78F... and I don't even have the right exhaust fan in yet.... 265 CFM will replace the 80CFM exhaust in a few days...

It is not solid, it is semi-rigid... it still stretches and bends like the "foil" type ducting... just not quite like a slinky...lol...

I chose it because it will hold it's shape, as opposed to drooping between support points..

Don't know your set up, but if you can use the thin foil/spring type ducting, you can use this stuff... takes no more room... maybe a slightly bigger 180 deggree turn radius... but no diff. on 90* turns...

Hope this helps...

Gypsy...

Ps. I hope you guys know that I am just a newb... asking me questions is a very tricky thing... as I don't know very much about anything at all... so... uh ... Al.. set them straight, will ya.... lol....

Sorry Al.... no disrespect intended... you can have your thread back...lol....

and this is what I meant by no drooping...

I can even make a "snorkel" to gather AC air....

damn i want mines exactly like that..can u tell me what u have as far as the parts connected to tube,so i know what to ask for when i go to home depot..like a list i can write down..if too much i understand...i took cuttings from a plant i had outside and tried to put 600 watt hps in a homebox S (yes "s" meaning small lol)and it was on fire in there..i dont have ducts running like you do,so i know i could have gotten it cooler,but it didnt seem like i was going to be able to get it where i need it to be do to box being so small..so needless to say my cuttings died and this is all i have left..pic 2 is where the hps will be once i switch plants that are in bubbler to 12/12..which will be hopefully in a week..but i dont know what to do with plant that was outside getting cold in the meantime
thanx a milli
