Well I have been doing a little here and there, still need to work a few things out but tell me what you think.
What should I be using?BuddyLuv said:Is that the ridgid aluminum ducting you are using? If so you might as well take it down now.

phatpharmer said:Buddy why should'nt he use ridgid ducting? I use this for my cabon filter just wondering why i shouldn't be using it?
DLM3 said:It's going to get hot & radiate heat. Your defeating the purpose of evacuating the heat out of the room. They do make insolated ones that are more flexable than the ridgid duct. I use a white plastic dryer hose. It flexable & strong & doesn't radiate heat. Sorry BuddyLuv, I didn't mean to jump in. Later Man
BuddyLuv said:Because he is going to be moving that light up and down. It is fine for long runs, bending corners, and what not. However have you ever tried to move it up and down to afixed locations. It is just not going to work, been there done that. You can get aluminum flex hose at Lowe's or Home Depot, looks like shiny dryer duct. It will be much easier to move around. Once that hose (rigid duct) is bent a certain way that is where it is going to stay. When you try and move it up and down it will bend, kink, and just plain give you nothing but headaches.
blancolighter said:Also, the rigid aluminum ducting is much louder than the flex hose. The rigid stuff just makes any air passing through it whirr really loudly...
BlueSmoke said:Looks like you have a nice start on your room. I did notice that you have your ballast on a stand, in what looks like your flower room. Is your plan to keep it in there? If heat is a concern, you may want to move it outside of the room....since it will produce quite a bit of heat that you will then have to exhaust out of the room.
BlueSmoke said:Isn't it nice to grow this time of year....temps stay low, and you don't have to worry as much. I hate having to deal with the higher temps in the summer.
Shockeclipse said:It just flexed it out and lowered it, and then tightened it back up when I brought it up high? It seems to be working fine. I willl look into the other kind though, I am assuming it is "softer" or easier to work with?
