600 HPS Cool Tube Grow Light System

[Al B. Fuct]

I do have a couple things to ask/add about piping in a/c air thru your cool tubes...

When you consider that the surface temp of an HPS tube in free airspace is going to be at least 200C (~400F), I don't think it'll make much difference to the room air temp if you pipe ambient air at 30C (~80F) or air cooled by aircon at 10C (~50F) through the cooltubes.

Even if the ambient air you pump through the cooltubes is relatively warm compared to that cooled by an aircon unit, it's not going to pick up THAT much more heat if cooled first.

I'd reserve any feed from a ducted aircon system to be put on the plants instead of being used to cool the lights, bearing in mind that there has to be an air exit from the op or return path to the a/c unit if you pipe in cooled air from a central a/c system.

You make an excellent point, Al.

Al - If you go to the FAQ and look at the part on reputation it gives you a pretty good idea of how the whole points system works on this board.

I sent you some good rep to boost yer rating. Now that you have the + next to your registered, I think you're like a full-fledged member ...except there's no such thing as a member at c.com

... it's all quite confusing - obviously designed by a dro.

Yesterday, "Registered+" started appearing under my username and the "image" button now appears in my WYSIWYG editor.

aaaaaaaaand now it's gone, no image button again.

Tried to do a post with manually inserted IMG tags and that won't work either.

Click the little paperclip in the upper tool bar and see if that's what you're looking for. You need to "go advanced" to get the right toolbars.

Could you kindly send a link? I have searched everything I could find called a FAQ:

Cannabis FAQs / FAQ , Recipes, Medical Marijuana
Cannabis FAQs / FAQ , Recipes, Medical Marijuana

...and don't turn up anything using the term "reputation."

I sent you some good rep to boost yer rating.

Thanks for that.

I'm trying to create a new post, which starts in 'advanced' mode.

The paperclip button is for attachments. These appear at the end of the post in a clump.

I want to put images inline with the text, such as I have done in this post on GC.

A photoessay/tutorial makes more sense and is easier to read if the photos appear embedded with the text describing them instead of all the images appearing at the end of the post in a clump.

GC and cannabis.com forums as well as several others use the same forum software- I think it's vBulletin. Disallowing image posting inline is an admin setting- and it's shut off, at least for me, on cannabis.com.

Hey Al - check out this page. Rock.Steady figured out how to post pics in-line, the way you want to for your cloning photo-essay. He's the guy to ask about it.

Will do that, but was going to try to contact that user via a PM... and promptly found that there's no private msg facility available- at least to me. Am I missing something here?

Al - the rep thread is in this section. The thread itself is here.

BTW - The rules say 50 posts + 2 weeks membership to be able to post photos - but I think you can get approved quicker with rep points.

But - the Mods watch that section in the first link above and I bet if you posted a thread to the mods with a link to your cloning thread, they'd probably activate your photo privileges right away. The mods here seem pretty reasonable and pretty anxious to spread good info so, it's worth a shot.

Missing nothing - No PMs on this site.

Damn dude - get over this "victim's attitude" will ya.
