Yeah ace that's a good idea I've heard of it before but never seen it in practice. I'm having temp problems too and have thought about adding a piece of glass or plexi. Cool tubes aren't an option for me really. You think I could simply hang it from the lights reflector? How much space do you have between the light and plastic?

Yeah I don't know if you can hang it directly from the light hood, maybe glass but not plexiglas. Mine is about 5 or 6 in away and the plants are right under the plexi and they are doing great.

Assuming I could figure out a way to hang it, (my plan was to punch small holes in the corner's of the plexi and the reflector, slip a string through the holes and knot it to plug the holes. make sense), is there a reason you say not to hang the plexi from the reflector?

I like to have the glass a little ways away from the hood so the heat can have some room to move and cool down. I think if you have the glass right up at the hood with no air to push the heat around an away it will just get stuck up in your hood and just concentrate it self and just make your light and everything else more hot than it should be. You need some really good air moving in there, if not things just gonna get all messy

I agree with you 100 percent. that's why I said I want to hang it by a string. See I'm thinking to get four strings, each about 18 inches long. Cut plexi into a 2x2 shape. Put small holes in each corner of the plexi and of the reflector. I have a reflector that opens up like a butterfly or whatever. Then hang the plexi by keeping it in place with knots in the strings. I would be able to hang it a foot or so below the light bulb. And I would hang the light so the plexi was just above the plant tops.

Glad to see so much activity here.. my MM/BM grow is finished, everything is jarred and curing.. man I love that smell when you first open the jars

.. Anyway, I had a couple clones that were going to be used in the SoG that I never did, I put them in with the BM sort of under the plants.. they never stretched but didn't die either.. here is the most interesting looking one. It's about 6 inches tall

I also made a batch of qwiso today..

MB, a little trick I learned from Doob.. it's qwiso but right at the end of the purge you just scrape together and start working it like taffy between a couple blades. I got this started in the pyrex with the exacto knife. (first time I used the exacto and I'm gonna get another

) This batch was my best ever.. stuff just locks you right up..lol
