thanks, i got another one and i was thinkin about like cutting it down and putting it on top of the other one, then the top one would just house the lights and i could use the whole bottom barrel for growth and flowering, get some pretty tall plants.i just didnt know if hps would like be to hot for such a small place, i got a 400 watt hps bulb. but no ballast yet.

Fuck cool tubes...they cool the best but they have a shitty light coverage. Its better to stick with a aircooled hood. Way better light coverage.
