so tomorrow im thinking about getting the 6 inch ducting going to the light.....but I'm still wondering if I REALLY need it..I suppose I might need it more while flowering, so I might as well get it done now right? Any suggestions about how I should set it up from the pics?

threw one side and out the other is what I'd be doing.... But I'm no expert.. Nice pics though

thats what i was wondering...but I could also run it out both sides because I have a duct already ran to my window for cold air.....so i could just pull the cold air through the hood right?? but im worried about moisture in the hood too..

why do you cut the leaves like that? (sorry noob question)

well when you make clones you sometimes want to cut away excess leaf so the cutting will focus on making roots...

I like the idea of you running the A/C duct through your light hood and out the other side. That to me sounds like a sure fire way to keep the lighting cool and the room cool.
There's a lot of beautiful strains in your room and I'll be in here frequently. I'm new to the forum and new to my first grow so I'm interested in meeting some people.
Good luck, it looks great.

thanks man.....always happy to see new people.....so I went ahead and just left the light un-cooled and hooked up a better intake/exhaust system...ghetto style..but ill tell you what, it works great..ill post some pics shortly but I just used 4 inch ducting, 2 hoses running from a cracked window to a fan enclosed in a box and aimed up at the ceiling..the exhaust is the same style but sucking air from the ceiling and ground..they are placed on opposite ends of the room...when just the intake fan is on its about 78 and when I flip on the exhaust it drops to 72-73 within 2 minutes..so im pretty sure I have it dialed in good...brb with pics..

Thats awesome man. You have it down to an art, and you didn't spend a lot of money.
Luckily for us Canadians, we have a cold winter. Heat isn't even an issue, we have an radiant oil heater that has a manual thermostat/shut off. So we set it at the temperature of what we want in the room, and it will shut off if it gets too hot.
If you're lights don't get too hot then you definitely didn't need to run that cold air directly through, but at least you always know its an option!

Hey. Where'd ya get that pic of my dad Cali??? 
There are a lot of ideas and directions for this type of thing in this very site. I have found some great plans for an entire exhaust system 'cause i am getting ready to do that soon.
I am going to use some type of charcoal filter 'cause although i love the smell of weed, our home is smellin' a little TOO funky right now.
Looking good Cali.
