phuuuftt on you.

see i did it that way at first, but i didn't like it. It was too loose and didn't let me slide the pots around...the material would just bunch up and what not, even tie-strapped using the little holes to the corners to no avail. I just pull out the ol shop vac to clean it out.

Thanks for answering my questions guys!

One more:

Do you guys think on a smaller HydroHut, like the 3x3 mini version, ventilation would be a problem for larger lights? For example, would a 400w HPS be alright with just a passive intake and a 4" 175 cfm exhaust fan without a cooltube? Or is a cooltube pretty much a necessity for one of these things? Thanks again! Rep points added where needed. :)

hey, I use a 1KHPS in a air cooled HOOD, not a tube, so i think you can just get away with anything you want. As long as its sealed from the hut, i think you be fine.

Actually I would not be terribly surprised if you could get away with just the exhaust fan and passive intake with a 400. At worst, you would have to add an air-cooled hood, but meh, that's not too huge an additional expense if you already have an inline fan.

If I were you I'd spring for the 4x4x8 though. Honestly. It's AMAZING... and the footprint is only a little bigger but the capacity goes from 9 of those Perfect Pots that dusto uses, to 16 of them, and you can cram a lot more light in there too!

What if it's not sealed? Bad idea?

I really don't know. I've never worked with one. I've never taken the glass off of mine. I have 2 inline fane one for exhause and one for the lamp. I dont know how much heat the glass saves.

Stinky?

Cool thanks for the answer. It won't let me rep you, says I need to spread the love!

"You must spread some reputation around before giving to StinkyAttic again."

I think you could even get away with a single fan... run the exhaust intake through your scrubber if you have one... then the hood... then out... keeping the temperature inside the hood only slightly elevated over the ambient temps inside the tent, and sending the lamp heat directly out... Just a thought... I used to control my temps with a window a/c... kinda primitive...hahaha
