when you buy the light from htg you get the cooltube for 70 dollars or euro reflector for 60 they both are air cooled so they both will work..yeah keepmothersin the tent and put clones right to flower when they root..i plan on doing that when i find a good mother until then im gonna fuck around with this 400 watt...

ah thanks never saw that before haha. i dont think 6" ducting will fit through the holes in the homebox though. i have 4" ducts running from my exhaust fan right now and they barely fit... the floralux one says its cooled by itself with optional 4" fittings...

bullshit..ballast inside the hood will burn your bulb out quicker than usual take it from first hand lol...but you can easily get a 6 inch connector for your 4 inch holes to accomadate that.

hmm true i could just get 6" ducts and connect to the 4" i already have... you need one duct coming in and one going out though right?

hmm so i could take the duct from my exhaust fan, connect it to one end of the light and then exhaust that out through the top of the tent?

what about when the tent is closed up... think it will still be able to exhaust the hot air without fresh air coming in?

it should be an easy thing to sort out..get 1 of those 4 inch duct booster from htg those would do good shit get 2 of them for good venting

nah not that one,the suncourt duct booster fan is 19.99 4 inch for intake... i would get a 6 inch for the light you need at least 200 cfm for a 400 watt in a cooltube

yeah i saw the new setup raider looks good. but you just have a squirerl fan down in the corner blowing air out? then you have ducting from your light out through the top, do you have another intake fan coming from ducting on the left?
