Hah hah! balls, big buds and PURE utter maddness, I LOVE it!!! I'm glad someone else understands insanity is mans greatest strength, good job man. If it ever starts to get too hot throw a lantern glass(bout $4) over it and blow the air through it, unless of course you have the dough to throw at a air cooled reflector.
EPIC, subscribed! Good luck with your next grow.

Is that a window ac unit? awesome setup btw love it acutally. makes me wonder all these people telling others to buy cooltubes and expensive elec ballasts seems like such a waste of money. how much have you invested if i may ask?

i may have invested prob around 150 bucks i got the ac unit free ( got lucky ) and i found the parts to my ballast and made it myself luckily all the parts for the 1000 watter were in a box full of electronics all i needed was the schematics which i googled and were there instantly lol lucky again and ye i totaly agree with you on the expensive stuff thats why i posted this thread and im making a cool tube its gonna cost me mabe 50 bucks at the most

you dont need a cooltube if your intake air is cool enough and the hot air is vented away from the grow.

i just use 320cfm fan as an outtake for my 600w hps, drilled a bunch of holes in bottom of the cabinet (which is raised up bit but has airintakes with lighttraps)
which means that the air gets sucked in, directly up at the lamp (moving every leaf as well)

works fine when ambient temps arent too high.

the air going in is 70 deg and exits at prb about 85 plus but that only in the top 1 foot of the closet the lower part stays at a constant 75 or 25 deg cel but i really like the holes in the floor wish i had thought of that before i cut all my side holes very good idea also i only use a 70 cfm bathroom exaughst fan tweaked to about 140 cfm and it works great almost to well lol

i use the sand cause of fungus knats it kills them and there larva it smothers them also to help keep the top soil moist not wet but dosent let it fully dry out and for nute schedule i had very rich soil and didnt know so my first was really up and down very confusing but now i have it more dialed in but i was using plant prod 10-52-10 for the last 2 weeks after the first 2 weeks of veg then i go flower and i was using for the first 3 weeks was plant prod 20-20-20 then for the next 3 weeks after that i used plant prod 15-30-15 and back to 20-20-20 for the last 2- 3weeks and all of these were mixed at 1/2 strength except for the first 2 weeks when you start the 10-52-10 i mixed 1/4 strength hope this kinda helps also this grow im using AN's jungle juice withthe additives they are overdrive , big bud , voodoo juice , and b-52
