I also would say the same as DST in regards to the reflector/hood deal. I suggest having the fan suck the air through the fan and reflector as well.
I use the same hoods as 4tatude (Daystar AC 6") and aside from them being heavy, they are great hoods. They are double walled (that's why they're heavy) so they are cool to the touch everywhere and have reflective material on all four sides of the interior so there's really even light distribution over the grow space. Not saying they are the best, just saying I really like them and they seem to work better than the others I have had.


EDIT: I have heard people say the reflectors that are white on the inside turn yellow but I don't know how accurate that is. The polished, hammer tone aluminum is supposed to be more reflective than the white. Hydrofarm claims the aluminum that is in mine (not hammer toned) is even more reflective but, who knows for sure? The theory behind the hammer tone is that it eliminates hot spots no your plants. I can say that if I have a plant centered under my reflector and am not running the light mover, that plant will get light bleaching on the top buds. I'm thinking of getting one of those light diffusers to try and eliminate that but I want to see how things go when using the mover first.

Thanx Doobie.
I had white flies really bad in my veg garden, but I got rid of them or so I thought. They landed in the farthest point n my shed where I can get to easily.
A friend of mine told me not to have veg and weed both or id have trouble.
I was wondering why that purp drag was way smaller than the other one!!

 

[DoobieBrother]

I made the same mistake a couple of years ago when I decided to grow a tomato plant at the same time as weed in my grow box.
The smell of the tomato plant drew in mites like I've never seen.
I know there are plants & veggies that grow well along side our beloved herbs, but I won't be taking that chance again.

Im soooo ordering some Casey Jones seeds tomorrow!!! I've been looking at this strain for awhile now drooling over it!!!!!!!!

Although my current strain's consist of Lemon Skunk, Larry OG, Jackpot Royale, Burmese Kush and GDP. But im letting the GDP and Burmese go, no more clones or seeds. I do however have a friend who has the GDP if i ever want anymore clones of her, gotta love the purps!

 

[bassman999]

I havent made my raised bed garden box for next year yet. I will be putting it somewhere else now I think.

I put this on the plant that had the flies

[Heads Up]

Mmm, glad I read that little piece of info about other plants in your garden. I'm going to try to grow something I can eat due to the fact that what I grow now eventually makes me want to eat for some reason? At the moment I'm starting some herbs, from seed in my tent along with three mj seedlings I have going. Is it recommended to not do that?

Wolfman, greetings from one old fart to another. To be clear, I'm not the curious old fart, just an old fart. Nice room you have going, I have a couple of questions. Are you going to paint the inside with flat white paint? How far away is the edge of your reflectors from the wall? Not the wall where your hood exhausts, the side wall and lastly is there a reason you have them so close together?

I also see you are using rope ratchet light hangers, nice. I think it's something most people should use, beats the hell out of chains.
