First and foremost, shout out to my man NewGrowth
for staying on me about my air flow in my original post. Good Look Homie!

After 2 more trips to Home Depot (good thing its literally down the street from me and even closer when I move. lol) here's my revised DIY Cool Tube. Please comment on air flow!

Now, would it be a good idea to attach a thin sheet of polished aluminum to the SIMPSON Strong-Tie I have extended inside the tube or put a batwing reflector over the top on the outside? I currently don't have a tool to cut it, thats why its inside the tube. Just let me know if it should be cut.

Not a bad idea, I went with the large speaker stealth box.
Dude, you just gave me an idea because I know my mother is about to throw those big ass speakers away she had since the first CD players were made. big ugly brown speakers. I can use it for my mother plant (how ironic, right? lol)

lol well there ya go.
I fitted the inside with what use to be a rain coat (green) to prevent any water spills from touching the wood.
And if you have two and are tryin to do super stealth you can use one for vegging and one for flowering or whatever you got planned

Looks good dude but I would have mounted the socket further into the pvc pipe to increase air flow even further next time. And a batwing reflector is most efficient and quite easy to build.

Well you had it close to perfected bro that sucks. I feel like we got high and fucked around with the bake around too much.:wall::wall:

It's hard to be cheap . . . if you fuck up it ends up costing just as much as if you bought it.:-(

Anyway,

You know Arrid, I was afraid that someone was going to ask me that. lol I appreciate your compliment and I will definitely make a how-to once I get my new bake-a-round. The ceramic socket kissed the bake-a-round and cracked it when I disassembled it. :wall: *I was stoned:bigjoint:*
I immediately went to eBay and clicked the "Buy It Now" button on the cheape$t one I found.

Just give me a week or so! :cool:

I was just thinking the EXACT same thing man. That fucker looks Professional. You could make like 30 of them shits n sell them on Ebay for 50 bucks a piece easy. They sell the REAL cootube on ebay for 89.95. If your undercutting them and selling for 50 bucks, and it looks nice n proffesional like that, youll get them off, easy as fuck. Shit, i woulda bought one if ida seed that online before i picked mine up, lol.

s'all good man.

plus it's kinda cheaper than all the others you can build.
it's got like...5 parts to it right?

The whole setup is gonna cost about $30-$40 depending on the price of the bakearound right?

See if you can buy a shit load and do some, sell them on ebay ;)

You think? I'll consider it once my stuff gets set up properly. I found this cool @SS cabinet on craigslist that I think will be great for my incognito closet cabinet. Visit my new THREAD and tell me what you think. Remember... IT's my first time! :-P

You're right! I just got another bake-a-round for $21, the supplies and srews from Home Depot was another $10 or so. People probably would buy em. I have to get the right tools because the bending of the metal strap thing was bent by had with pliers. lol

I'd put another metal strip in the other side so you have something to fix your reflector onto, if you know what i mean.

Just be careful with the damn bakearound!!!

hehe.
