dont blame you then man,i have never been able to do a few buds without getting most of the plant anyways though so if you go that route good luck. i take the 1 i want in a whole other room and leave it over night ,then dont forget to spray the crap out of it with water so youll kill the rest of the pollen . lol ..i forgot one time .lol.. later

Are you going to use that small 4 inch fan in the first set of pics to cool that light? If so... yeah that isn't gonna cut it you will need more air flow
And also, how long is that cool tube? That this is fricken tiny!

ok so here we go i have duct set up in my bedroom window that will bring in 40-45 deg night air from outside into the cool tube by way of the first 4" 80 cfm inline fan which is called a push through the other 4" cfm inline fan will be set up on the opposite side of the tube and be pulling through the cooltube at the same time to exaust.. so basically ill have 160 cfm's split in half to do the job i did it this way to get the fresh air from my window also ill be running my lights at night for the temp reasons..as for the light its 16" by 6" round..the reason i didnt go larger is because of the space after duct/ carbon filter/ bat wing etc.etc. so maybe you see where im going now with this. ppp

correction that cooltube is only 14" i didnt measure it until you asked and i may send it back because the one i orderred said 16" which is what i wanted and needed..im not sure this tube can cover four plants even in my compact room..what do you think? 2x3x4

If you have cold air coming in from outside than you should be good to go
Once it gets warmer out though you will have to think about getting a stronger exhaust fan
Here are some cheap ones: http://www.plantlightinghydroponics.com/valueline-centrifugal-fans-c-76_629.html

not happy at the moment the new cooltube that i got is not the one i orderred and i had to send it back so im hoping this is not going to be to much of a set back on my babies the tube portion that light can go through is only 9 1/2 inch's long and not the 15 3/4 inch that its suppose to be so they are sending me the correct one i hope it does'nt take to long to get here other than that the babies are doing fine..just a quick update..peace pot prosperityTom's right; you really need a stronger fan to cool that light.
I use a 6" (425CFM) on my 1K, but you could probably get away with a 4" (170CFM) on yours - but those little axial fans will not be cutting it, unless the air you're bringing in is quite cool.

hey thanks for the response i here what you are saying thats why i asked about my set up im not simply running (1) 4" 80 cfm fan for the cooltube i'll be running (2) one pushing the cool air through the other pulling the heated air through and out to exaust im not sure if anyone can picture what im talking about but thats the best way i can explain it without pic's it will be a total of 160 cfm just 80 pulling 80 pushing..is this ok or not..?thanks by the way it will be mainly on at night during which the temps get down to about 38-42 deg here.
CFMs don't add up, if that makes sense.

hey cool vid's youve got all the areas coverred im no where near that type of set up nor will i ever get to that point lol but it is a sight to see very nice indeed so i noticed that you only have the one fan for the cooling of your light and its pushing air through instead of pulling air like most others on here say to do is it just prefference or because your grow area is so large and wide open? also if i get the 4"170 cfm do you recommend pushing instead of pulling even though ill have another 4" with passive intake to help with the box temps..
I always have and have been taught to push through lights and pull through filters.
I tested that theory on my flowering tent (4x4 tent with a 1K and a dedicated 6" cooling it), and the temps were 1F lower (compared to ambient garage tempts) pushing as opposed to pulling.
Not massive, but every little bit, right?
