I bet u still had fun.

The funniest thing I saw was the bicycle cops having 5 hookers handcuffed and sitting in a row it was however also a bit sad

If you mix up nutes in a bucket,then don't use it for a week is it still good?
I did keep it cool & covered.Thanks

I have been doing the exact same thing for a few months and have had no problems!! Not saying it is a good idea, just saying I have had no problems!!!!!!!

I did that when i first started but ended up getting mold in it. Keep it in the fridge or learn your recipe and only use what you need without having extra.

To clarify, I read your original post as meaning your nutes were mixed into water, and that's what I do in a tub including additives!!! I then add that to my reservoirs to top off!! I use hybrid areo and DWC and it is a pain in the ass to mix in them! I would be very careful about doing this or using mixed nutes not kept in the fridge!!! I do have mixed nutes in the fridge but never more than what I will use within a week!! Remember, I do not recommend any of the things I do regarding nute storage but I have not had any problems!!

oh, you got problems alright.

what size blockbuster hoods is everyoen using?

the 6 or 8 inch?

from what i recall//everyone uses the 8 inch..?

SS do you use the sun system blockbuster reflectors

I have 8".

I have 2 of them in 6".

and what do you for your 3rd and fourth systems?

i was looking at the XXXtreme

is it overkill

think it just the proper coverage for each system

im still debating air cooled. although SS you stated that you had a massive drop in yield when you used the parabolic?

Howe high were they from the top of the canopy?

Have you tried different open air reflectors. I am wanting to give the bell technologies reflector a try.

Kubby talks about it in this vid.

I mean I don't have a cooling issue overall. In addition, If I have the regular reflectors high enough, I dont have to worry about upper canopy heat.

SS, can you convice me why air cooled is the way to go with this system please.

In addition, I have 4 systems and will double up the rails soon. Thus I would need 8k watts. This is meaning I would have to have 8 air cooled hoods and probably 2 inlines.

So I definately want to be sure this is the route to go before I make the big investment.

Cant convince u only tell u what something did for me. Now i will give u a good deal on 2 parabolic hoods.

I can tell you that adding a third hood to my 6" ducted air system jacked up the heat in the room by 5-6 degrees F and the air coming out of the duct is now 91F. This is just 3 - 600s and a 296 fpm fan. I turned 2 of the ballasts down to 75% and still too hot, so I'll try upping the fan capacity. Moved the ballasts out of the room, so it's either spend some shekels or dial the watts back down. Point is that air cooling makes sense, wish I would have gone with the 8" hoods now as it might have made the difference in this situation. AC is not an option for me as my power capacity is bumping max.
