:jawdropper: OH MY GOOOOO....Been wanting to build a DIY cooltube for the longest...with results like that you just confirmed it...Will deff. be following this one ! GREAT JOB :thumbsup:

Hi Deleafer, cheers for the comment, yeah it shocked me at how effective it is, I could get away with a 600w hps if I wanted!! .

The cooltube isn't a DIY one, I bought it from my local hydro shop. But I have to say it is well worth the investment. The setup works great along with the DWC buckets, as it stops the nute solutions getting warm. This setup is gonna yield a monster harvest, I am certain of that! :jointsmile:

:hippy:

BTW, just noticed, the ambient temps are around 21 deg C / 70 deg F, due to the cool air being pulled in from the attic. Thats at floor level, but it will be nearer 25 deg C / 77 deg F at canopy height. Perfect!

Hi Shake, yeah they are great, plus you can get them in different sizes. I have a 5" diameter version, but I know you can also get a 6" version which might be big enough for you. Because my duct work is 4" due to being a fairly small grow space, I bought a small length of 5" duct and a 5" to 4" reducer so I can run it from my 4" fan....works a treat. Rock on Shake :thumbsup:

Below is a pic from last night. I raised the cool tube a bit to encourage the plants to grow upward a bit as they are getting really dense and bushy, more than the space can allow. They are also starting to show early signs of flowering (7 days of 12/12) which I like a lot!

This is gonna be a super phat jumbo harvest for 3.5 square feet!! :stoned:

Whoops! Just noticed one plant was growing much quicker than the other and thought "Mmmm, that's odd". But on closer inspection it would appear I forgot to plug in the submersible airpump on the lagging plant after I changed the nutes on 22nd (5 days ago!) . Strangely the lagging plant flowers appear to be more developed (more pistils etc.), even though they are identical clones. I wonder if the lack of air pump has anything to do with it?

I think I will change the nutes on both plants tonight (wasn't gonna change them until Thursday), just to be on the safe side.

I'll post a pic or three later, after changing the nutes....
