hey snyder our setups look similar, although you have a decent amount of cfls in there, which I probably should have also.

here's a couple pics of my plants from bagseed under my 150w hps.

heres some pics of my box 150 watt flood light that i made into a cool tube. a couple clfs and the small box is my veg chamber
Can you go in to a lil detail on the hps cool tube you made!? How did you cut box and where did you place fan? DId you use two fans or one?

This is a long thread so forgive me if someone has already done this... For those who have the HTGSupply HPS with the stock reflector you can make a ghetto cooler that actually seems to work pretty good. The stock reflector is really flimsy so all you do is get a 80mm CPU fan (120mm is too big) and some nuts/bolts. Take off the side of the reflector that doesn't have the HPS light coming out of it and cut a hole a little smaller than the fan and attach it via the nuts/bolts. (It's so flimsy regular scissors will cut it just fine.) Next you need a way to power it. Either find an AC adapter you no longer need or use a PC power supply. If you're using a AC adapter just cut the wires so they are exposed and connect them directly to your fan. After that put it all together and you're done. Optionally you could also remove the other side of the reflector to better improve airflow too.

I've noticed simply doing this has definitely improved temps and allowed me to get the HPS light closer to my plants.

Hah.. you and I started flowering on the exact same day. My last grow I did a couple WW's but this time I'm just doing one fairly big one. I'm interested to see which produces more. I got about two ounces last time. (Although last grow was MG soil and nutes. This time it's fox farms OF, and FF big bloom, tiger bloom, and grow big. So I guess my results won't be too reliable.) The current plant is at about 40 inches now. I've got the 150w HPS, five 42w CFL's, and a crappy walmart grow light on it.

Mine is big Buddha g bomb. I'm using miracle grow nutes, and I'm gonna start giving her molasses. I started her in February, vegged her till mid April..I'd say she's 3 and a half feet, maybe?

Here's a little update for me, im at the end of 4 weeks, with 3 plants under a 150 HPS cooltubed. Temps average 78 degrees, and humidty 30-40%. Strains are Bubbledust, a clone of Aurora Indica and Mazaar I Sharif. It seems like the Mazaar is gonna be a lengthy flowering, it took 2 weeks of 12/12 before I even saw pistils sprouting. The first 3 pictures are the bubble dust, the next 4 are the aurora indica clone, and the last 3 are the Mazaar. Hope you enjoy the buds and here's to another 4 weeks or more!! Thanks!

Greetings. Been growing veggies and herbs in my homemade systems for over a year now, but I've always wanted to grow my own bud. So after alot of prodding from some of my friends (and even my common-law wife to my surprise) I decided to put what little I had learned towards a higher purpose. So here's my cab so far. I have a rubbermaid garage cabinet (Made out of MDF) that is 48 in. w, 72 in.h, 20 in.d. Its split down the middle for the bottom 4 feet (veg and flower) with a seperate top shelf (seedling,clone). Ive got homemade ebb and flows in the veg and flower sections and a homemade bubbler for seedlings, clones. The veg is under a 125w or 200w full spectrum 6400k CFL, the flower is under a 150w HPS plus a couple 26w 6400k CFLs, and the seedlings are under a couple 13w 6400 CFLs. All the lights are exhausted by 4 in. duct booster fans, sound-proofed with a passive intake at the bottom of each compartment. My friend gave me some seeds and one small plant from a Mighty Mite strain hes been playing around with for a while, I thought an auto would be a good starter.Ive been doing quite a bit of research here and there so thanks for all the info, its been really helpful. I know a little about hydroponics but next to nothing about the growing weed so any suggestions or advice are welcome.

Cheers.
