Why use cooltubes ?

They take around 8 to 10% of the light away (60 watts at 600watt is pretty much ;) )
Those hoses you use btween your cooltubes / exhaust make a lot of noise... (why didn't you use the isolated ones...)

Why not use reflectors ? (maxlight or adjust wings or whatever you can get over there)

How many Gr/Watt did you yield ?

Have phun with adjusting...

Gr Mike.

(efficience all the way !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Honestly the loss is worth the temp drop of the tubes really,Also the ducting is much quieter than you may think,The insulated ducting is better choice but when i purchased this they had none in stock of 6" all they had was 4" in the black insulated ducting so i went with this.

Well i could hang them horizontal in reflectors but then i would have to keep my plants really short,I have 6' ceilings and with the hood and 10" i would need to keep the tops below the 1k's plus the height of the buckets i would be working with 2ft tall plants,And thats a no go for me.So i will use the 1k's vertical in tubes and run 400's with reflectors above the plants as then i can get the tops within 4"s from the hood.

My GPW ratio on this was not even 1/2 GPW but i was only mother hunting,And the room was only half full plus not exactly a picture perfect run,I had to tear down veg room store in flower room as well i had to tear down sub panel timers co2 system ect.

So i dont think GPW mattered for this run,I am rebuilding the new system you can bet when i run 12 plants yeilds will be no less than .8 GPW and i will really be disappointed with that.All i can say is this was not exactoly a good showing of what this system/room is capable of so watch this next run and you will see the results you would expect from a system and room like this.

I think a mod must have unstickied it because they want only tutorials and informational threads stickied where this is kinda a diary/hydroponics journal thread.

Either way whoever unstickied this thread i guess i understand why :)
