Cool tube or air cooled hood or cooled tube with hood

Just wondering opinions, cool tubes are alot cheaper so i need to know why not to buy them

Parabolics look fucking sweet, is there an efficient way to remove the heat from those

I also went with the cool tube 600w. Less heat buildup.

Exactly thats what i have heard, what kind of reflector do you have on yours?

FromTheDepths · Feb 15, 2015

And what kind of ballast do you use im looking into 600 watts

willienelson1stgrow · Feb 15, 2015

It's two pieces that attach to the side of the tube they are about 4 in wide I think it's plenty of reflective surface for my 4x4 grow area

does apollo have any warrentys? and on the hood all the light faces down and you can throw a good sized 4 plants under it without reflective walls would you say?

reason why i ask is i gotta alot of space in a room and until i divide it up with wood or decide to get a grow tent i gotta make it work

I think it would be fine. Apollo has 3 year warranty

I've only run with a cooltube, so I'm very curious to try out a proper decent hood. Looking at different grows and setups (here on RIU and in friend's gardens I visit) to pick one out and try it. I feel they will be better distribute light over a specific area.

Get the Apollo on amazon $180 2 bulbs, a balast, hanging ropes and a timer with a 6in cool tube. You'll be very pleased with the light this thing puts out.

ill prolly give them a go if they have a 3 year warrenty on the ballasts mate, now its deciding between http://www.amazon.com/Apollo-Hortic...424039783&sr=8-7&keywords=600+watt+grow+light or this http://www.amazon.com/Apollo-Hortic...424039783&sr=8-3&keywords=600+watt+grow+light then other companys have xxl hoods its confusing

FromTheDepths · Feb 15, 2015

how are those bulbs aswell

willienelson1stgrow · Feb 15, 2015

Bulbs are good, came packaged really well
