Why not just make a cool tube... your cab looks like you have room...it has the big advantage of exhausting most of the heat....and if made with input and output fans it will be even more effective....

I used mirror window tint in my cab.... before when walls were white plants stretched and had lanky growth.....now all of them are so tight and compact I can not believe the differance.....I also have side dual 36 inch T8s lighting as well and my babies receive 360 degree light...I even lined...

I veg for 2 weeks and they lolipop on there own about 3 weeks into flower....bottom 1/3 fan leafs drop off...and top bud sites are tight and form one big cola all the sites seem to grow together.....wish I had digital cam...I contribute alot of the tightness to my side lighting.....dual 36 inch...

So true...I am just finishing 2 that were on 12/12 since 1 week old...and these babies are the best I've grown so far.....plant is done with fan leaves and growin tight trich loaded buds....this is very interesting thread...following for the ride...and great inputs......

Very nice.....just watch the heat...these are around 140-155 degrees...each.. Yes.. thats way hotter than most people think...I did a thread about this...."Another CFL vs HPS" expalins the heat issues....and gives temps...the other thing is total all the watts....are they really low cost as we...

I am going to try rooting cuttings from a 2 week female and keep a few cuttings at 12/12 myself...with no reveg...It works with flowers so may work with our strains...just a trial with nothing to loose. I love trying new ideas.

Yes... you answered yourself.... radiant heat....these bulbs are like 140-155 degrees and if you are surrouning the plants they are smothering....how close are they placed from the plants? You would be better off with a 100w HPS....and have you added all those watts up....I was on the same...

70 Watt...believe it or not 1 inch from the top...I am using the one thats fully encased with glass shield...I have 2 under it now and in order to fully cover both plants I have it 3 inches above both...I made an aluminum frame to hold it and using the good old chain and s hooks method to lower...

Yes...they are nice lights got one 2 weeks ago..works so good going for another..I have supplemented with T8 floro\'s on the side.

With you on this one...why...lets see.. does growing outdoors go 24/7 or 18/6?...No...we only use these cycles to grow fast and trick the plant...so we can finish in a short period...I have 3 currently running on this concept...veg time from 1-3 weeks and all have turned out female and much...

Radiant heat is causing the problem is what I found using CFL...while the over all cabinet heat may not be hot the heat these CFLs put out is higher than most people think...140-155 degrees.... if you have your plants surrounded by these they get smothered...I had the same problem until I...

Over ventalating I think is possible.. I had cooling issues and I think over ventalated because my humidity dropped to like 18-20% with all the air flowing I think it dried the air....I added some containers of water and humidity back to 40-58%...just an FYI.

My rainwater tests at 7.2 so it depends on where you live I guess....I have noticed that run off from gutters that have a few leaves produces water with PH of 6.8...I use 5 gal buckets to collect...then transfer to gallon jugs with a cheese cloth filter under funnel..it filters whatever...

I use a small flat tray 6x4x3 inches deep...and have it placed where one of the fans ripples the water...raised mine from 28-30% to 40-45%..tray needs filled in 2-3 days.

OK...what the heck....1 box XL sheepskin raincoats..fixodent..box of panty liners..some Oreos..peanut butter..whip cream..a new fishin pole..bait..and a pack of Dorals.. oh I forgot get a pizza on the way back..
