Which moon? Earth's? If so, that is so last year. I am growing on the moons of Neptune, and venting everything into the orbit of Pluto (I got a long hose).

You better watch out on my way to the Andromeda galaxy im going to grab your vent tubes I needed some anyways. I just installed a pirate flag to my ship, you should see me coming.

And dont try and reposition any asteroids in an attempt to make me crash, i just bought a laser capable of destroying the largest of asteroids so you might as well start reeling in that 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 mile long vent tube I assume you got from Home Depot because Lowes is a rip off.

The Andromeda galaxy is known to cause hermies. If you weren't such a noob space grower you'd know that.

The vent tube I made myself, but the exhaust fan (80 cfm) is from Home Depot. I also have an original cut of G13 that some paranoid bastard asked me to store for him on Neptune's moon.

How could you possibly de-evolve and go to air cooling? Are your lights now like 10 feet away from the plants? I'm not if you realized, but the "pros" ALL use water cooled lights. So while you were once a pro, your now down in the farm leagues with the rest of us.

My time in the spot light expired had to go down a level and join this dreadful GP :-D

Its hard i tell ya hard.....

Ehh you are all newbs. I'm growing my shit in narnia...where the sun is always on the right cycle man. Just smoked a spliff with some huge talking tiger...got a Morning BJ from some chick with white hair claiming to be a witch. I'd invite others but i forgot how to get to the fucking wardrobe.

On a serious note...if you really thing that a cop is going to walk into your house....see a bunch of grow equipment....and not be smart enough to walk to the back of the building to find the plants laying on the ground...you really deserve to get caught. Last thing this community needs is people like you trying some stupid shit. I bet you brag to all of your friends about growing dont you?

why not just air cool it?

lowdime · Mar 16, 2011

lulz this thread!! i only read half way down ur post but did you say you had 8 plants in a 2x2ebb and flow? and it dont matter how tall they get. if you dont have the right equipment,space or a qlue what you are doing they are NOT going to have BIG BUDS!!!!!!!!!!!! they are probly going to be fuffy unless you can ask the guy on the moon when he leaves to rent his spot just a thought

So I see you have been to Andromeda and back all ready, I should have known.

I will just become a viking and search for new galaxy's to grow in.

Yea, but dont you get it they dont want you to find the wardrobe they want you trapped their forever. You are falling right into their plans, for your own safety stop smoking that splif with that tiger. I have met that tiger he is no good believe me he tried to eat me after we smoked two pounds of narnias finest kush.

Fucking munchies....

Because that's efficient, effective, and a extremely safe way of doing things.

And around here were fuckin EXTREME.

Too the moon mother fuckers.

Lol. Just don't start using CFLs or we are going to kick sand n your face.

You guys and your moon grow don't know shit. The moon has less gravity than earth and is obviously a recipe for fluffy buds. I'm heading to Saturn and I'm going to have the densest buds known to man. AND I'm building an apartment near a freeway there so if the cops do show up, I'll just throw my plants out the window. Problem fucking solved!!

After all my talk about growing in Space and you still didn't get the sarcasm.

im high as fuck and its 3.36am im kinda slow right now man my bad

jimbizzzale67123 · Mar 16, 2011

Woaaa, I dont care how high and how late it is. We were talking about flying around space and growing on different planets. I even talked about growing on a different galaxy, and some dude said he was growing in narnia.

You cannot use weed as an excuse bro.

I acually just found a post for water cooling HPS lights, the post was refering to how dangerous it can be if not done right. People were talking about how your bulb can explode if water hits it which could be true --- I personaly dont believe that hype because the bulb in a system that has water flo wont be hot enough to explode i----

yup dood yer dead wrong any hid Will explode if water is sprayed on it i garonteee. try it if ya dont believe me. safety glasses probably a good idea maybe a fire ext. too
good luck let us know how yur experiment goes
lol

Thats the truth. Please take a spray bottle and squirt it on your bulb while its on. Two things will happen 1. your bulb will explode 2. A genie will pop out and grant you three wishes.

Do it, and report back the results Hijinxx.

legallyflying · Mar 17, 2011

Umm yeah. If water hits your bulb it's instantly toast. Hell stick a thick pint glass in the oven then take it out and throw it in cold water.

But that is the beauty of the Internet you can believe whatever you want to believe and just tell anyone that disagrees with you that they are stupid. Is there medical Mary Jane in Narnia?

Hmm, not sure about that, but The Lion and The Witch have an awesome Wardrobe grow going on. Supposed to be out of this world. ;-)

That being said, water-cooled light tubes are a good concept.
But would hate to spend all that money only to have it eventually leak on me. Hasn't been a water-cooled system in anything that hasn't developed a leak over time. Sometimes a day, sometimes a week, a month, a year (etc) but it will leak.
Also, water cooled PC's aren't the most efficient when it comes to cooling.
A high-performance (and much less expensive) heatsink & fan is equal or better at cooling components than water-cooling.
Water-cooling provides a more stable temperature in CPU's & GPU's, but they don't out perform air-cooling when it comes to robust overclocking (high heat).
Regardless of all our jokes, nobody hopes someone's lighting system fails.
If you do go with liquid cooling, post some pics and keep us up to date on how it goes for you. :-)

Peace!
