homemade hood for cfls

[ziggys420]

i just made this or my next grow its going to be a small bushy plant i been lst cant wait for the one in flower to be done let me know what u think of the hood tho

 

[grorite]

what is it made of also lights are still to far away

 

[thatboyis1uvakind]

U think ur pretty slick don't ya zigg??...ha...its pretty cool ....no need for the foil tho

 

[ziggys420]

im also putting a cooling fan in it am a piece of glass to seal it up so i should have to worry about heat almost all the buds are about 3-4 inches away theres some that arent but that will be my lighter buds any ways so i dont care about this grow just getting it right for my next one

 

[grorite]

so whats the hood made from hope not cardboard

 

[ziggys420]

its just a paper towel despencer lol modded lol

im with grorite you still need to come closer with your lights. 2-3 inches max would let the light penetrate further and thus leaving you with more compact buds. and the tin foil has to go, sorry man but tin foil doesnt really reflect light as much as it does heat. cut some beercans in half and paint them white .
Keep up the good work

 

[ziggys420]

You should base your design on grorite's diy hood. His is probly the best diy cfl hood I've seen yet!
