A Medicinal Refrigerator

[cowboylogic]

Touching should not be an issue but to be on the safe side I would at least slip a piece of cardboard(like from the back of a notebook)inbetween them. Ballast do vibrate and you dont to wear any holes in either of thier cases. Old innertubes cut into strips works well also.
Keeping a baked chicken warm under that CFL? LOL I use them too! I really like the little single ones you get from Cracker Barrel. Just right for popping one or two beans. Guess you could squeeze three pellets into one. Keep up the great work Bro.



Happy Trails

I got the new hood made for my Main Flowering chamber. A 400W CMH goes in here. It's a 4" 90 degree to a 4" to 6" reducer. A 8" two foot tube. Once I get it hung you'll see how I made it better. The 4" will go to a 120mm exhaust fan.

Whew!! I'm caught up on this thread. I hate reading the last page of a book so I had to pick up where I left off back in August! Daniels you do brilliant work and just love reading the things you do to inspire me!

What sucks is by reading through this I've opened up 4 new tabs with new threads I also want to read! I've got a lot of reading to do!

 

[Danielsgb]

Glad you got caught up. I'm like that for books and threads. Wow lot happened since Aug. Check out my new Purple Rain in my sig link Well Here Goes Again

I like your reflector hood, good job.

What kinda material is it made from? I've been looking for something like that in an aluminum form.

Thanks

P.S. Can't wait to see that CMH in action!

It's galvanized steel or tin. In the HVAC section. Stuff works good. Install coming soon.

 

[crunkyeah]

Yeah it sure looks like reflectivity is going to be about as good as it gets with that! I'll be watching.

Some Bitches been mis-behaving so new hood is going in, Pics later.

I removed the dual HPS hood, and got new one in. I left the heavier gauge wire that ran to it's ballast. I wired that the exact same black/white to ballast. I changed the bulb to the new socket in new hood. Flip it at the timer and buzzing but no light firing. WTF
I look it over twice and dbl. checked that it was wired the same. I'll re-look at it in the morning, just frustrating. A friend is sending me a ballast kit so if it's worst case I'll just make a new ballast box. No Timer needed as it off a 240v Timer.
I took that ballast box out to re-use later. I changed the wire going to the vegetable table to the new ballast box. New 250W CMH worked right.

The bulb was in after pic was taken, but I think you mean it's missing some Purple Rain. This hood should work right being ducted to the Super 120mm. I'm adding supports to widen it today too.

That's what it is, purple rain!!

I got the Hood done. What's an Advanced Medicinal Appliance without coat hangers & Foil Tape? I used two bent to hold it open with Duct Tape to make the 90 angle held to the side. I used some Foil Tape to make it look clean.
I just re-started it to see if temps will work. I have the passive intake I could add a fan to if needed. I just got a Christmas fan in the mail from a good friend today that would work perfect if needed.

looks great daniels, cant wait to hear the report on temps!!

 

[jsgamber]

Looks good. I think the foil tape is actually providing more than aesthetics. With all the heat hitting that reflector, it will be no time soon before that duck/duct tape would fail. But the aluminum tape would tear due to the force and sharp edges of the hangers. Just like my panda film reinforcement: duck tape for reinforcement and aluminum tape for holding power.

Great way to explain how it helps. Knew that, & have been using it that way, just kinda got lazy on the explanation. Thanks. It's no Curtain w/ Velcro (Very nice BTW)

Temps held well. Well enough to give it a run in the morning. I up-canned 3 of these 6 Purple Rain. Update and pics there soon.

Ha I did the same thing with that tape on a homemade hood too. Nice n green plants, BTW . Thanks for the CMH advice, I yanked that 150w out of the garage and now PK has a nice little home .
