Ebay Situation figured Out. Im now Running My Homemade 250 watt HPS Cooltube. Temps Reached to 96 at the roof of my Homebox XS. and at the bottom floor to 75. but flowering tops at 94. I think i may raise the light up a bit

Do you have an exhaust for the room itself? If you are not planning on running a carbon scrubber you can run a regular high CFM fan as your room exhaust.

I'm a believer in ventilation over raising the lights. After all what good are all those lumens doing you when you have to keep them away from the canopy. Invest in a 300CFM squirrel cage fan for the room exhaust and I think that would help your situation much more than raising the light would.

Or you could do what I do in my veg room. I leave the open end (non socket side) of my cooltube open. This allows me to extract heat from both the light and from the room.

Looking good Ambesol. I checked this am and my canopy was 90* so I turned on the exhaust fan and opened up a passive fresh air supply over the top of the grow. No need for scrubbers out in the sticks like in the village.

I already have a carbon scrubber at one end of my 200 cfm exhaust and then i have a 4" 60CFM next to the cooltube for extra pull. I got the heat issue figured out, cool tube about 6 inches away from canopy. Sound good?

I need the scrubber with the Diesel. She is one of the stinkiest buds ive ever smelled.

sounds very good.. Wat are your canopy temps now?


good job getting that squared away. :thumbsup:

87.6 F . I figured thats the best im going to do now. i have a 4" duct coming out of the homebox to pull cooler air from around the room..

What kind of Improvements do you think i will have with the HPS compared to the T5?

Photosynthesis is most effective around 78 degrees and typically you don't want to go above 85 degrees unless you're running CO2.

It's hard to say if there will be any improvement. I'm sure you were running cooler with the T5's probably. What kind of fan are you using to exhaust your cool tube? What is the ambient temperature where you have your grow (the temperature outside the grow environment). I only have 1 inline fan on my cool tube, 1 end open, ambient temperature of 76 and the temps in my box never rise above 78 with my cool tube 4" away from the canopy.

I am running a 400 watt MH/HPS at the moment.

To be honest I would pull your cooltube about 6" more away from the canopy. Put it about 1 foot away. The lumens aren't doing you any good if your photosynthesis is crawling.
