just showng off my work. not really making a "how to" guide. this cooltube is based off of THG's design, with a couple tweaks thrown in.
1 - bake-a-round 20$ (ebay)
1 - 4" duct connector 3$ (local harware store)
1 - sun system econo wing reflector 40$ (local garden center)
1 - 250watt hps bulb 15$ (local garden center)
have not yet purchased the ballast. the reflector is capable of handling 150 watt-1k watt. i doubt i'll put anything bigger then a 600w in it though. i'll be using the exhaust fan i installed in the veg room to cool the light. it will passively pull the air from the room cooling the light. the exhaust fan is from a range hood that would normally be used over a stove. the fan has a built in speed controller and didnt cost me anything. i'll use a inline fan if i ever decide to use a 600w in the cooltube, but for 250w, this exhaust fan has more then sufficient pulling power.
pic 1 - cooltube setup
pic 2 - pic of the exhaust fan & the length of the run from the fan to the cooltube.
i partitioned a 2x2 section in my veg room where i will use the 250w hps to flower the girls i'll be growing in my organic super soil en devour.
