i've had to do that before, pain in the arse. i have had rooms where i had to take a third of the plants out just to get in and water, it fucked my canopy up big time.

and imc you can get away with hps for veg just fine, i've not had a mh for a while now, i think they run hotter as well, always seemed that way to me.

that's what i found, my 2 600w cooltubes ran a lot colder than my 400mh bare bulb, they both had a 6" fan cooling them. i thought it may have been a fault but i've heard other people say it too. i just love the hps glow, especially all these new wide spectrum bulbs.

See what fucks me off is that the nice people in the R+D department at AMD design graphics chips with a mirror finish for a very good reason.

And then the company's like XFX that actually make the boards up from the reference designs to sell to us retail go and overclock it and strap a big cooler to it with poorly finished metal and bluetack shite instead of proper thermal paste.

Good job I pay for the proper stuff.

a 1m long filter should last a long time in my book, better to invest in quality gear than cheap shit in my opinion

An 8" s&p td silent fan, also about 1m long, IMO there two off the main things for stealth and performance, no expense spared here m8
