Jorge is an idiot at times
i agree totally with thisI am amazed at what your friend is doing, I have been accused of putting up lengthy post a time or two, don't sweat it, many folks, myself included will go back and read those lengthy post. I am positive they tell an awesome story. Be sure and send Garden Knowm a link to your journal, we are having a contest of sort with journals and he is heading that up.
You need to link this to your signature. That way when you help some one out by answering questions they have posted they have a link to all of your information. Welcome to our forum. Thier loss is certianly a gain for us. VV
I never thought that?
heh makes sense
) It will be sick when I build that though, I'm sure I'll post it.I'm not trying to argue with you because I'm not entirely about the cooltubes and they may have generic ones, but all the pics I've seen, show the cooltube with an internal and external reflector. The point Jorge tries to make, in his own words is, "The air-ventilated tube is very inefficient, leaving a "hot spot" below." They tested twenty different reflectors before making those comments. He's just trying to say that when you use the reflectors that come with it, they suck. I guess you could always get the cool tube and then put a really big Dome or Adjust-A-Wing reflector over it, like you say, but that seems like a waste of money to me...Jorge is an idiot at times
a cool tube doesnt reflect ANY light at all since it is just a tube of glass... think of it like a bulb within a bulb.
you put the reflector over the cool tube
but hey, use what you want and take advice that fits your budget and grow style.
had to get a whole new dedicated circuit run and everything... my 600 watt grow is barely noticeable on my power bill i think i see an extra $20 on the bill for it.
that would be cool though!
Contact one of the mods, PotRoast, Fdd etc. They did make a change in the amount of stuff you can put in signature, some kept what they had, kinda Grandfather clause type thing. Should accept this for sig though. VVThanks everyone,
Their really smelling now, I don't notice it when I am here but when I'm gone the whole day and come in it reeks
Of course ya put a reflector over a cool tube
But still I think the other ones work great, I've heard the umbrella ones are really good? Do they make vented umbrella hoods?
I went to put links in my sig and it kept giving me 2 errors, saying it was over 300 charactors, which it wasnt, and more than 2 lines long? wtf is up with that lol how did I do the one I have now then? and plenty of pople have long sigs. Anyone know whats causeing this? I'll go try again myaybe the server was freaken....
Oh and I don't think my my plants/journal could win anything and I don't realy care either
Thanks though
*Update*
I just tried to edit my sig, again... If I just go to edit and not even do anything and save it gives me the errors...
The only problem with that is the 100 watt bulbs aren't nearly as efficient as the 400, and especially the most efficient 600 watt bulbs.yeah, DiZzYNaTiOn bagged it
i am thinking i will just go with a few 100 or so watt bulbs rather than a single 400 or 600 watt bulb.... cant be any hotter than the 20 or so CFLs i have going now
which version of Jorge's bible was that bit of research in? i think i have the latest and i dont recall seeing it... i do recall seeing him show some interesting studies on light height though... filled it under stuff to reread again later.
sorry to hijack your thread, darknezz... i cant help myself sometimes
