re: Indoor Grow - Blueberry & Cream Caramel Fem
Looking great. Have you checked out this thread, it's for DIY CoolTubes....
How do I build my own cool tube?
Not all info is pulled from above... bit of a DIY conglomo......
Seems that you should not really have a problem getting a Pyrex Tube. They're relatively cheap, a baking device for cylindrical loaves of bread should be able to find something lke that down there.
If you google cooltube construction theres another version I saw soemwhere wiht pics. The reflector is part that needs more addressing though. Light reflected back through the bulb is wasted....Phone call Gotta go and get my buddie.. Lets try 2 wrap this up quicklike.yeah back to the reflectors, light reflected through the bulb is canceled or whatnot... if you look around you can find some batwing style reflector DIY's The Cooltube I saw with the pic's the guy put mylar on the top half but that pretty much puts all the light from the top half of the bulb back into the bulb hence your plants dont get it...
You want a ridge along the top that reflects away fromthe bulb.

I could draw this in paint and make it easier but gotta head out. PM me if I make it confusing.

but imagine this Reflector----> / \/ \
tube----> ( O )
You want to guide the light around the bulb back to the plants..
Py
rex bake around an' a metal mailbox.. good cooltube.. You can mylar the downside of the mailbox for reflectivity.
yeah gotta go hope it might help you as being mounted horizantally would make for better light dispersion..
