lighting

...nothing like blinding new bulbs.

Is this thread.. old as shit?

Bspectral.. can I see more pics of that fluosescent grow!!!

Interesting stuff.. I have always been a big advocate of sucking all the air out of the room... pulling it upward and OUT....

Of the entire room.. rather than individual bulbs..

So.. do you think that a plant grow under a cool tube would produce less weight than a plant grow under the same bulb at the same distance with out a cool tube..

Both rooms would be identical..

??

thanks

............................Theres only pics of that flouro grow room in the gallery,,,nowdays it has been opened up at the top and an hps hangs reflected up in the middle with racks of 4' flouros on each side ...........................AT the same distance away the cool tube is only slightly lowering and blurring the intensity and producing less weight .Just increase the airflow to move the heat up and away and plants grow bigger and stronger with more wind and they get all the light can give with no cooltube.:smokin:

Have a look at these girls ripened full of buds ready for 12 hrs sleep smothered by walls and ceiling with flourescent grow bulbs of every spectrum!

kinda looks like the inside of a tanning bed,hey how about a stand up bouthe for a grow chamber:smokin:

The stand up idea would work but wouldn't give as much space to work with safely unless you have alot of space to use ,like a 1/4 of a room ,without hanging it would be quite the setup to have to secure all the flouro fixtures so they don't fall over ,and you'l need more plus movement of fixtures if you want to make it like a walk in one . Also fan placement(s) could be a problem .*** I'l keep mine raised and with things shelved below with a wide open walkup entrance and fanspace for good airflow and easywatering.:smokin:
