Air Cool Hood Review

Ok just got the air cool hood yesterday set it up and WOW I am impressed. I have a 600w dim HPS/MH when I ran it just at 300w with the 4x4x6.5 tent close temps hit mid and high 90's. Now with the air cool hood about 10 inches away from tops and ballast running at 600w my temps range between 77-82. I freaking love this hood. I have my carbon filter combo out side of the tent with ducting running in the tent to the hood sucking air. So carbon filter-fan-ducting-hood

What hood do you have?

I look that up and I get hundreds if not thousands of different hoods. Could you guide me to the correct one?

What????


Look at the wilma systems.

They take up as much room as 4 plants, 8 plants, 9 plants etc depending upon which system you choose.

My biggest concern is how do you hide a hydro system? Like what if you are required to hide it like once every 2months.

Seriously look at wilma systems.

The 4 pot for instance uses 4x11L pots that sit in a tray. That tray then sits on top of a reservoir that holds 30L of nute mix.

To move it every 2 months you just drain it and move it.

Pots are moveable and just have stakes coming from the pump contained in the res.


Have a look and you'll see for yourself.

They use an 8w water pump to move the water from the res to the pots.


The whole thing is made of plastic and really light.
