well you know the dark side obviously, lol!! it's running more duct. But you can do a LOT to control temps with ROOM intake/exhaust... I wasn't even talking hood exhaust, I have never even used an air cooled hood! lol Look at foxy's shit too... it's BASIC. Those aren't even GOOD duct fans, and they're a couple of the cheapest bottom of the bargain bin reflecotrs you can buy!
I don't know how much benefit you'd get from the varying duct sizes; to decrease resistance obviously the bigger the better, plus a SMOOTH interior surface, but that isn't always possible with flexi duct, ya know?

um I'm confused, 10? is that with flouros? I think this is still wicked complicated for what you are trying to do... just a couple medium sized HIDs.. if you already have a 400 and a 150 and buy one more 600 there you have 3 points of light and really flouros on top of that seems like a major pain in the hinders.

Sure, tip her over! If she needs to be repotted soon, repot her so that the main stem is coming out of the pot at an ANGLE, and tie it that way. You'll still have the dominant tip plus the side growth will be nicer.

Okay now say with me slowly:

Keep
