Had some problems with PC, that`s all. Plants look alright, eaven the wild sativa-ruderalis is starting to bud better. But one of two last big buds also turned out to be a male, so now I have only one big bud clone, that`s female.Where in the hell am I said:Thanx, bro. Noticed ya gone, all's well, yerself?
Cool, cant wait to see. . .Had some problems with PC, that`s all. Plants look alright, eaven the wild sativa-ruderalis is starting to bud better. But one of two last big buds also turned out to be a male, so now I have only one big bud clone, that`s female.
I still have some seeds, so gonna try to get nice BB females some few grows later.
hey bud, wassup? don't forget to stop by my grow and see lots of progress.Your plant buds look great, man!
Been awhile away - how You were doing last week?
Will once I get bakk, l8er!hey bud, wassup? don't forget to stop by my grow and see lots of progress.
and the latest, full scale version of Aerolights!
Got pics all over this thread, brah! Not to mention in my albumshey sorry its been a while since ive been around ray shit went down any new pics of your ladys? how far along are they ill have a fwew new pics up in a few hours
you'll get better 'flow' with some inline duct fans, that equals cooler lights/cooler room.Just curious, this is called air-cooled:

It shows ducting out of each end, does that mean that it is designed to NOT need an exhaust fan fer heat?
+Rep Now thats the shit I'm talkin about right there!!! To be honest, I already knew about all of the fundementals of heat displacement, but I do GREATLY APPRECIATE ya puttin it down there I was just curious as to wether or not the glass and design made it so that the cooling was accomplished through venting (ducting), and ambient outside of the grow area air flow would accomplish this. From yer answer, my deduction is that if my grow room has well circulated cool air flowing in the direction of my intake (doesnt have to be DIRECT), that will be enuf fer cooling, seein how the exhaust duct does its jobyou'll get better 'flow' with some inline duct fans, that equals cooler lights/cooler room.
and you'll still need to exhaust the heat to the outside, unless you want it exhausted right into the
room...which kinda defeats the purpose of having ducted exhaust ports on the hood, right.
the final goal is to cool the room. removing the heat of the light from the room, via duct, is the method.
so one end of the duct is attached to the intake port or just open to the room. and the exhaust duct is attached to an exhaust port.
of course, there should be some type of air filter between the hood and the exhaust port, unless you like cops knocking your door down! rofl
P.S. it looks like that particular unit is sealed, has a lens and sealing foam. so, instead of starting the cooling process with warm room air,
the intake duct should be attached to an intake port leading outside the grow area. that air,
whether it's from your living area or fresh air from outside, is probably much cooler than the air in your grow area(depending on the season, or temp of you home).
if this is true, two air systems might be used. one solely for the lights and one solely for the room, and the filter only needs to be on the
system for the room as long as the light system has no leaks.
this way, practically no heat from the lights will be directed to your plants, imo.
P.P.S (lol) also, the duct included with that system are not insulated. if insulated duct was used, no heat would radiate from the exhaust duct.
insulated duct would only be needed on the exhaust end.
Got my scope to look @ my trichs and they are still lookin like there's a lot of growin w/4 full weeks left!thats sweet i know why now u want those pics to show lol
yup, that is correct. if you're using an intake port to cool your room, then that air may be cool enough to adequately cool the bulb without having to use a duct direct to the intake port. however, during the summer, I assume you're in the north hemi and it's winter now, you may need to use direct line duct as the air will travel faster when fan forced, thus cooling it faster/more. moving air is cooler than non-moving air and the faster it moves the cooler it is/remains.+Rep Now thats the shit I'm talkin about right there!!!
