Hi guys
was thinking about the possible temp problems that arise in grow tents as a result of HID lights and had an idea:
why not have a mylar sheet at the base of the stems of the plants effectively resting on the top of the grow system and sealed to the walls of the grow tent using duck tape thus creating a separate, smaller and more manageable environment insulated against the heat of the lights.
you would need an air intake and some circulation to keep oxygen levels up but if this area is sealed from the rest of the plant i dnt think smells should be that much of a problem so a fan and a passive air intake outake could do.
here is a very badly drawn diagram of what im talking about.
anyway i could be wrong. this could have been tried before and failed or my idea may be fatally flawed but tell me what you think anyway.
