no problem but your doing fine!!! good job bro!
oh and dont forget when the 'time' comes around to put in a cooltube you can get super close to the plants; try doing it without a cooltube and watch your leaves burn away! mines cool enough to touch. and that should be your goal with a cooltube.
Sounds good, I already got myself a 6 inch cool-tube, its not really big enough for the big fat MH bulbs, theres still room for some air to squeeze past the bulb but it would be better to use an 8 inch. I guess I will make it work.
You say you can touch your tube without burning your hand? I haven't got my tube fully rigged yet, nothings really finished being set up in my room, but working on it. Anyways I run a fan over the plants and it also pushes just enough air through the tube to keep the wires on the mogul from melting(they actually melted a bit from the heat when I moved the fan for a few minutes lol).
So how many CFM do you pull through your tube and how big are your lights? I'll check out your thread in a minute just thought it would be easier to ask. I intend to have 3000 watts burning in cooltubes, with 1 fan to cool them, How many CFM do you expect I will need to pull through the tubes to do that? I have a 4 inch fan that moves 175 cfm, I am thinking its not going to be enough? I will also be cooling the room down with an 8 inch fan on a carbon filter. Can I even use a 6 inch fan with the MH bulbs?
Ill bring a picture up tommorrow when the lights are on again
