Well i'm 24 inches wide x 24 inches deep....


then you have to figure in a few inches for the ducting to bend around?

I'm figuring 18-20max inches long?

Wassup with your existing air-cooler reflector SrV, not cutting it anymore?

So has anyone here gotten to run some of GHS bubba kush that what i got right now. I had to put the LED light back up i cant have 95 degrees (its down to 82 with the led) in the tent so untill i get my cool tube ill veg with the LED then switch to the hps for flower. Then the next grow will be my 250w MH conversion for veg and the hps for flower.. My main question is if anyone has run any kush strain similar to BK and if so what were the results? just curious.. im glad i found this thread i think ill stick around

Hell yea bro I love this thread. It dies every once and a while then someone posts and it fires back up. I have a TNT kush goin but its my first kush strain, bitch is growing slow too. Sr Verde my cooltube is 12"x6". Ill c if dude still makes em if ur interested.

Hey everyone. I have a couple questions about a closet set up that I am contemplating. It is roughly 2 1/2 feet by 6 feet and about 8 feet tall all though I only want to use 5 feet of height. I want to use 2 250 watt hps lights. One on each side( the door is in the middle of the closet). Each side would be roughly 2.5x2.5 and would be closed off with b/w poly My only concern is the heat that the lights will put off. In the past I have used air conditioners to solve this problem, but atm I dont have a spot running so I am forced to grow on a smaller scale. The room that the closet is in has an over sized air conditioner. My current idea is to cut a couple of passive intakes on the bottom of the wall connecting to the closet and have a 4 inch carbon filter on each side exhausting back into the bedroom. Or I could use a 6 inch inline fan with a Y duct exhausting with 4 in from each side. I just want to make sure that this will effectively cool the closet. Any input is recommended.

Hey 420 we were just having this heat discussion above the 2 250's will definatly overheat that closet pretty fast i would try exhausting into the attic with the 6" if possible and have the 4" bringing air in are you using inline fans or high velocity fans? is it plausible for you to get two cool tubes for em that would defiantly be the easiest way to prevent heat build up. Then you could just use the 6" to pull air through the Y fitting and exhaust out

Nature that seems to be the deal with all kush strains ive been seeing a pattern everyone says to veg for 5 to 6 weeks. lol mine is about 3 weeks in (im not really counting the days for veg im just gonna top it and when i think its big enough ill flower it lo)l. Beautiful leaves they Bubba has. But from what i have read they really like to stretch when they start to flower. Im defiantly a kush lover. just wish it would get a hitch in its gitty up lmao.

here is my newest 250-watt grow setup.

feel free to follow my journal...

My air cooled reflector isn't sealed unless you tape it up

and you cant change bulbs with the tape.. so I want something easy, sealed and hey why not a little cooler..

We have the same reflector, I never taped mine up. There is a miniscule leak in each of the corners of the glass, but it doesn't cause any issues. I don't perceive any leak at all along the long edges. Zero odor, and since it's leaking IN (with the exhaust running, obviously) I'm clearly not losing any heat into the tent. I've decided they probably manufacture it that way because it in practice it really just doesn't matter. Without all that useless tape the reflector would be pretty nice for you I think.

what do you guys think of the Euro reflector by htg.. How big is the footprint? and has anyone had any experience with it cause im thinkin of buying it but 85 bucks is a little steep lol or does anyone know where i can find a semi- cheap air cooled hood?

I actually noticed a good difference when I taped it up... It also keeps the exhaust from the grow CLEAN... when it's leaking through the glass and into the exhaust that kind of begins to defeat the purpose of a carbon filter!


I don't want smelly air

Hmm that's too bad, like I said no odor here. As soon as I zip'er up within minutes I have that cleaner-than-clean smell. Maybe you got one that was especially leaky... can you even get a tiny piece of string or anything to "stick" along the edges and corners where the glass rests? I myself could not...

Yeah you can push up on the glass like a quarter inch

Wasio my fellow 250 growers. Thought the thread needed a bump so wanted to post my flowering plant. Seedsman g13 skunk. Pics were taken last Thursday 1 wk 2 days into flower. Check out my grow in link. And advice or comments r much appreciated. +rep

Well after spending about 300 bucks i finally think i got my tent ready to go for awhile just added a Euro air cooled reflector from htg and i love it... i also purchased a 4" high velocity inline fan and did a diy muffler for it haha gotta love having duct work laying around the house... with the lights off the temps are down to 77 and the ambient temp is about 80 so im impressed it lowered the temps by 6 degrees lights off just by adding the fan.(went from 84 lights off to 77)!!! Here's some pics of my two that i have going right now... The budding plant is Kannabia Gnomo automatic and i dont really like em ive grown it 4 times and havent had any real success with it. The phenos i have are VERY short and dont produce much. Wont be growing autos anymore.. The little plant is a GHS bubba kush that is 4 weeks into veg(just topped 4 days ago) imma let her go all the way through july and switch the lights on the 1st of the month... ill be adding either a Burmese kush or pineapple express.. possibly even a sour cream i can only have two plants at a time.. what do you guys think i got the attitude june promo so i have all those seeds plus a White widow.. toke up brotha's and Sista's

heres my blackjack 3 weeks into flowering...

Lookn awesome bro. +rep to u my friend.I've been thinkn bout givin that strain a run. Is it nirvanas? I'm not sure if other breeders have one. Did u lst one plant? Cause that bitch is full. Nice job once again

thanks a lot man.yea its from nirvana, i got 5 feminized seeds 1 for 1 so far. as for lst, first i topped her about 10 days before flowering and then tied the top branches down to try and make them even with the lower ones and to make better use of my 250hps.
