Cool Tube and the fan

[MM2K6]

Hi Guy's redoing my main tent I have a question about hooking up my cool tube. I normally hook the extraction fan at the end of my ducting, would it be better to hook the extraction fan directly to the cool tube?

Joining fan to light fitting with short tek screws or pop rivets.
Old milk formula cans or the like make decent metal cowlings if need be.
Gotta love the high intensity "golden glow"

Fuck Yeah Perfect! the fab fits perfect into the tube, off to the shed to find some tek screws

*The Fan, where did edit button go..

Perfecto! Thanks mate

 

[Love to grow]

I’d hook ducting to it then the fan otherwise ya fan will get hot as fuck being so close to light just what I’d do not right or wrong

These fans pump it out I'll fire it up later and check after warm up, to see if the fan can take it. No shit these fans have been going for 5 years and never failed just clean them out, they get dusty. Going to put stocking on intake end to stop that, then vented strait out the window

I'm a pc tech I'll hook up my temp meter probe for when I reflow surface mounted chips it can read air and how hot the fan is

Just make sure screws aren't too long.
Don't want them impeding on fan blades.

Lol it's dual purpose now, it's also a leaf blower!

Looks ok to me? 56c inside tube with temp sensor 10cm from the 1000w HPS, the HPS globe runs at 250c cooling fan running at 33c and I can touch the cool tube after being on for 2 hours, no fan yet to move the tent air or carbon filter to extract hot air from the tent.

I got a new adjustable intake fan for the tent setup, just thought I'd share it was dirt cheap! 4" they have 6" to. Seems to be ok..
You never know with this cheap shit but I'll sus it out.

Hi Guy's I thought I'd share how I do my waste or recirculating setup. I'm a cheap ass trying to save every dollar I go to Bunnings and get one of the green pools in the picture they cost like $20-$25 then I wack a top on "please note colour coded screws lol! " I was lucky in the shed! cut your pot holes so the fit in about half way.

In the picture is and old setup of the pump and draining system, just turn the green knob to either water them on timer or drain the tank all at Bunnings.

This time I'll be using the pump just to drain with a garden hose attachment I can't carry fuck all my back, neck and right shoulder are fucked, FUBAR! so I have to make it easy for me. So just for tank waist this time and dump on outdoor summer crop

Then I have a spare tank like in the pictures, I'll be using one of them and a cheap drip system pump for feeding the ladies that has a timer.


So fill tank, let them feed with dippers and drain, too easy! oh also wack and aquarium pump 1 for each pot, for the roots, 1 in nutrient tank.

Some will probably say it's shit but it works and is full automated.

Doesn't matter what it looks like, it's the end result that matters the most .
I've done pretty well for myself with a diy light and a cheap tent. Got me through well. Yielded 30oz the first time I ran the setup under the diy 4x4 light. If it works then I doubt anyone here would give you shit for it ..

It works well for me around a pound to, it lasts me between crops and me and my mate when they drop in, nothing like getting baked with a few mate with a few coldies

Reckon you'll upgrade to led down the track or stay with the HID lights?

I'm waiting on 4 of the LED's like in my grow tent full spectrum plus a 600w Philips son-t for the orange glow, I have 1000W + super digital ballast adjustable and 1000w HPS globe if needed probably overkill.

Planing on running the LED at 12/24 and the HPS 8/24 in the last half of the 12..

Trying to save power and mimic the sun, a silly idea I have!

 

[MM2K6]

These LED's $200 for 4 I'll line them up around the son-t

I'll try make everyone smile and try crack a joke, it's probably lame... but hey why not!

Imagine I'm like that Aussie guy on the TV series "Disjointed" my plants talk to me just like in the show, no shit.

In the morning they will be singing to me it's really annoying! this bloody song I wish they would shut up! no fucking joking!!!

at 12/24 they sing

Then in the last half then the HPS kicks in they sing

I wish they would shut the fuck up! OMG
