Rock.....speaking of bioassays....that thai of yours......???
400 mh isn't throwing much heat- 50-100 cfm sucking cross the bulb would be plenty to minimize hotspot. Prob get away w/ a lot less- muffin fan?
Only time I ever bothered cooling a 400mh I was using a 6" duct booster w/ maybe 6" of 4" flexi and a reducer between ref and fan- way under 70cfm throughput. Top of reflector maybe ambient +7F- plants growing up onto glass w/ no issues.
Just gonna blow the heat out into the room?
muffin??? Now I'm hungry.....yes, into the room...large open room....living room/kitchen. . The only trick is, as I said it would need to be workable (not too hot for the room) but also something I can take down easily in a pinch.... I remember my 1k mh (same reflector) absolutely BLEW AWAY a smaller room (maybe 1/3 size) with the heat.
X-C was talking about some of the $25 at home depot....but he felt I should go with a six inch which would requite screws and things according to him.
Essentially you're trying to convince the plant that it went through a fall ( reproductive) season, then got through the winter/short day season without a hard (killing) frost- come " spring" it'll start to veg again.Quote:

Takes a month or two, depending on plant, strain, degree of harvest sesenence, etc.
Always had best luck leaving miminal, lower- the more flower mass remaining ( generating hormones), the longer the trans period. Need to leave enough to not kill plant- seat of the pants typa thing.
Read up on it-
funny u should ask.Quote:

hung for about 10 days, and got too dry too fast.
jarred the other day and got drier, ultra crispy.
i put a piece of celery in jar yesterday cause its all i had in fridge.
took it out today and whole batch is freshened.
still smells too fresh, lil harsh, but a very up n peppy high.
total head high, almost energizing , and creeps up on ya after a while.
i like it alot.
i think prolly shoulda waited another week or 2, but this is pretty good for my 1st shot:D
im hopin i can make it last long enuf to cure better, but, im a :stoned:head and its awesome to know its MINE!:D

I think he's talking about the same fan I used, more or less- involved 4"x6" reducer, aluminum HVAC tape. No screws that I remember, but I've been into the bubble...:jointsmile:

thick n heavy, will never break, can prolly use as a weapon:wtf:
If I can get away with a four inch fan I'm going to go for it!!! The cfls are decent but I have SEEN THE LIGHT (ha ha :D) and miss my mh for vegging. Plus with that I'd have enough room lightwise to reveg the Mk. I'll read up on this for sure tomorrow. ;) Thanks Rhiz..:)
Rock....are you having visions from that stuff??? Hallucinated anything like giant bongs raining down or anything?? :jointsmile: :stoned:
hehehe, life is good tonite:smokin:
