when do i talk shit? :mrgreen:

I have two problems with getting a cool tube..
First - i already spent a mint on the reflector i have
Two - the reflector i have is air-cooled
and a bonus third thing - i would have to buy two cool tubes to replace my single current reflector - do they make cool tubes for MH bulbs?

yea yea i know you've told me. i know you dont want to spend no more on the reflector....lol

for your number 2, yea its aircooled, but you know it'll be better kept in check(the temps) if there is no resistance and its flowing directly over the tubes

and you dont have to buy to different reflectors, they make dual cooltubes...and magnum reflectors! yes to the mh questions as well!

i dont think you'd need another fan. your 6 incher will work great on that.


but it is your box....my fault....lol

oh yeah - my 6" would work great - except it is the exhaust for the box. I have a 4" for my light exhaust.

i just checked my res and ambient temps and they are dropping. it was the damn heat wave that sent the temperatures skyrocketing. But they peaked at 82 F for ambient and close to 80 F in the res (but i let the water level get low so could have easily cooled that off).

Don't want to count my chickens and provided nothing else goes wrong - i think i have the heat problem licked! at least i hope so.

I hope so too! Seems summer heat is kicking everyones ass indoors. I have to keep my AC at 69 just to keep my op at 70-75 during the day. If it's off, it could easily shoot to 90, the highest my res temps have gotten is 80 and that was during the very beginning of flowering.

Check out those reservoir temps - they will come back to haunt me in a few days because high temps means my pH gets out of whack - so there is going to be some leaf damage the next couple of days...


but in the meantime - day 10...

OK - as you can see i am using the 400w MH only and freezing my back up res water and adding it in chunks as needed to my res until this heat wave is over.

I think i have minimized the damage (the new growth looks very good) but the damage is done :(

Oh and the smell already - holy cow! When i rub the leaves it smells like a skunk that is eating raspberry sorbet! less than 3 weeks from seed... oh boy i hope i don't kill them!

So if you want to know what it looks like when your res is too warm causing your pH to freak out - check out the damage on the leaves....
