they look very very nice. love the trich shots.
Oh I also got a thin sheet of glass today just on a whim that it'd be the right size and it actually was close to perfect! What I was thinking was put the glass on, and it'll leave a gap at the tips of the pll's - this is the intake into the hood. On the top of the hood above the bases of the bulbs would be the exhaust hole. I read that tip about cooling them in that direction from hydro-soil so thanks if you're reading!
Yes, the sockets get pretty hot on those PL-L's while the end of the tubes are barely even warm. I doubt you will need the glass as those lights are pretty easy to keep cool. That's a very nice light, love the reflector, that should give you some nice smoke!!
Yeah but then you can let the buds grow up into the glass of the hood and not have to worry.
