Alex801's New Grow BC Cookies 400 Watt HPS In Soil - GLR

Great info about the name jaga. I could listen to u all day. I bet ur a good story teller around the fire in jagantha puri??
I'm guessing there maybe be get togethers with fire and story's in that village with ur friends wen u go there?
India intrigues me so so much. The split state of poverty to richness with no middle ground is upsetting though :(

Do u think a single cool tube would light my space well ?

what size is your grow area? a 400 watt High Pressure Sodium light will cover a 4'x4' area a 600 watt High Pressure Sodium light will cover a 5'x5' area and a 1000 watt High Pressure Sodium light will cover a 6'x6' area. If you are considering a new High Intensity Discharge ballast consider a larger single ballast and light that will provide higher amounts of lumens to your plant.

here are some charts that have lumens versus distance, they do not account for heat. You can see the higher amount of lumens and penetration higher wattage provide.

Great choice my friend! :)
 
Thanks LA I'm hoping il get them bought tomorrow if not it's Wednesday.
Il probs not fire the 2 up till I flip to 12/12
The one is doin ok for now In veg
Hope the cool pull from the loft through the two tubes is cool enough for the room. Sure it will be :)
 
Hi mate. If you need more cooling you can always add a small quiet running fan and ducting. I bought my 6" one which suck in air through a part open window for 18 off fleabay NEW :) Ducting is cheap too :)
 
Yeah, I like the idea of them :) Cult swears by them too. Not so bad this time of year keeping my tent cool but in Summer I could see problems lol :)
 
Good Morning, Good weed Alex. I'm sure you have no Donkey Dongs there. Mathilda probably wouldn't like it. But you never know:)
Thanks for the strain recommendations. Always like a strong painkiller at night. Hope my 4 Chemo girls are all girls and don't do the big H on my like the first two. Victims of the Polar Vortex. :) otherwise, I will be giving Herbie's an order.
:peace::circle-of-love:
 
Hey oz I'd never given cool tubes much thought till lately as I always thought there reflectors looked small.
But if I'm guna be running 2 lights in my space they guna need to be air cooled direct that's why iv gone for them plus many recommendations :)

Hey mick I hope those girls turn out great for u I'm sure they will buddy :)
That strain name freaks me out a little. Can only assume it was bread for ppl going through that dreadfully intense course of treatment.
If it eases those symptoms it must be a super medical strain
 
Hey buddy. Yep, they look great and everyone raves about them :) I'm going to design and make my own "cool tube" type reflectors once I get the rooms built :) I think a hybrid type would suit me better not full cool tube, I want to get temps up in winter lol :)
 
I love diy sir oz.... But considering ya can buy em for £20-£30 ya may be better off buying em ready made lol

I like jays air cooled reflector it's nice :)
Oz mate temps can be so hard to control in our summer... Can't imagine how it must be in warmer climates
 
Yeah true mate...we're lucky here really :) I was thinking of getting an old chest freezer (scrapper one lol) coz they have the stucco dimpled ali insdes :) In theory you could make a 6' x 3' reflector from it :) If I run some ducting with holes/slots cut out over the top of the reflector it would cool it nicely by dissipating the heat evenly.....it sounds complicated but I know what I mean lol :)
Off to kip now buddy......cream crackered...FULL on Jacobs lol :) Night mate
 
I had an idea for an old chest freezer with Sumer time temps.
5" hole at either side with ducting leading to a cool tube. Air pulled into the freezer at outside temp. Cooled in freezer the off through the cool tube. Wouldn't be needed in winter but wen its 25-30 outside a cool tube will help but better with cold air
 
Morning my friend and many, many happy returns! I hope your have a slendid day full of all things pleasant, special and green! :)
