No problem, my grow is going well. The plants will be 2 weeks from seed on Thursday, so not too much to worry about right now lol.Thanks Doobieus,How is your grow going.
Just went to 12/12 for my White Berry
MmmMmm Whiteberry, looks sooo damn nice. I haven't had the chance to try it yet, but I'm thinking of ordering some for my next grow.
Totally excited to see some pics when they get a lil' older.
Fogponics is interesting, I totally wanna see pics and see how it helps in bloom. I know that it helps a substantial amount in veg, but there have been varied opinions on it's usefulness in bloom. So since you're doing fogponics totally post pics and let us know your experience.

I think you're pretty damn close to golden, with 4 plants you're going to get around 6k lumens per plant with how close you have them.
Try it out but monitor the heat, if it's too hot ventilation is the key. If it's still too hot, raise the light an inch.

Yep,Or you can use a small pc fan blowing on the light itself.This has worked for me in the past,when i had ventilation issues.It worked well enough that you could put your hand on the glass and leave it there.

Well here are 2 more pics.The light just went out,so i will have to get a shot of the inside of the res so you can see the fogger.I have it set to come on for 5 mins every hour .My nano chiller keeps it from making the water to hot.If i use for longer periods the solution starts to get to warm.It does put out some heat into the water.That is why i have for short bursts.
The first pic is the one i posted on 3-24-09
Then one of the roots(which where not really that great last week)And one of the plant now.The net pot is deep and i did not use any medium other than geolite to hold it up.It does not look 7in but it goes down more in the pot.I all ready got rid of the bottom 2 sets of leaves

75 growth stops correct? I have a peice of shit clock in there that also shows the temp and right now its at 73, it turned on about a half an hour ago. I do have a fan going in there. I can take a pic of it, if it helps with the problem
Edit: Just read the faq on riu and it says keep it between 70-80 during the light on period and above 60 on the off period so i guess i'm golden, its reading 75 right now. let me know if im wrong

The glass insert for the grow light.
And i have mine at 5-10 ALL the time.
Never had a issue with any of my grows.

I dont have any glass insert. All i got with the light is the reflector,built in ballast, and the bulb.

If you are havng any heat issue the glass will help a bit.

Are you talking like a cool tube? Sorry i dont understand. I just moved the light back a bit so it doesnt burn the plants and we will see how it goes. I can already notice an improvement from the cfl's.

In some models like my HPS, it has vents and glass right under the light itself. So it creates a chamber so if you ever decided to air cool your light it would be more effective.
Same concept as a cool tube but for a hood like yours or like mine. I use a floralux.

i got a question concerning something that has nothin to do with a 250w HPS, but im not gonna start a thread just for it.
so, im tight on space and considering using OASIS juice containers ( 960ml ) to grow in. but these super-sized juice boxes have a metallic coating on the inside, im wondering if this will fuck with the plants? ive heard that some metals arent good to use for pots, but i duno if this stuff is even real metal.
anyone know what im talking about, and could help me out?

Thank you Doobieus, I will raise the lights and I forgot to mention that I do have a humidifier.And the temp now is back to normal due to weather change.The cabinet temp goes up and down depending on the outside temp.As for switching to hps I will as soon as I find a 250w bulb.Thank you once again
