this is from post #1 of this thread https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/154927-my-planting-tip-16oz-cups.html

I grow in clear cups w/holes in bottom for water drains. I cut the bottom out of the color cup and use as a sleeve.

You can watch roots without light harming them.

You can use diff colors (I use red and blue) to help keep track of the plants.
yes i think i read somewhere about that but i like my method yours is very great if you are worried about rootbound but if you take care of them they will be fine tlc but great idea + rep

looks nice, if it works for you thats great, but how much do you usually yield off of the plants, cause it don't seem like it would be much?
it workes great for me and usually with no lst or topping anything just fish emulshin and seed extract i get a little over a half a plant and it takes a little over a month and a half man but i have a mother plant from the last harvest that has been revegged and is ready for clones, i plan on topping and lst and changing up some nutes

A 250 watt fixture will supply enough light to cover a 2.5 foot by 2.5 foot grow area. (6 plants or less)
A 400 watt fixture will supply enough light to cover a 4 foot by 4 foot grow area. (12 plants or less)
A 600 watt fixture will supply enough light to cover a 5 foot by 5 foot grow area. (18 plants or less)
A 1000 watt fixture will supply enough light to cover a 6.5 foot by 6.5 foot grow area. (30 plants or less)
In order for the heat produced by a light system not to harm the plant, a 250 watt light system should be started 18 to 30 inches above the tops of the plants, a 400 watt light system should be started 3 to 4 feet above the tops of the plants when introduced..then slowly raise it down,,but that fukin cooltube works wonder huh?PuRp will never lead you wrong my friend!

i'm on board for this one. I have some questions if you don't mind.

How hard was it to build that cool tube? what is that metal piece in between and how did you connect them? Just with the regular clamps or duck tape? Where did you find the glass? let me know, thanks.
