per watt a 600 would be hotter. 1000 is the most efficient for the amount of light and heat you get.


And Caleb you can build your own air cooled hood wiht items from craft stores or wal mart, Buy a glass tube thats used to go over oil burners or candles. I know Michaels craft store has a goofy shapped one(Huricane style) that fits a 1000w hps just fine.

Check out hte OverGrow faq that i sent you.

I've always seen the opposite.

I'm now against cool tubes as well, thanks to my grower friend. They fuck up the light spread. You need an air cooled hood instread.


I pretty much went from advocating full-on ghetto tek'king to top notch connisuer shit. hahahahaha, but hey, quality is king.

1000watts light systems are in fact the most inefficent. The best is 600 watt systems. One of the reasons they are the number one system used in Europe is cause their power cost so much more they need as efficent as they can get.

I REALLY wanna put a cooltube (I've got that bake-around) inside a tubular scrog, and place the whole thing in a... round garbage can.

100% of the light that gets past the glass is used, no need for a reflector. The scrog will keep plant # down, easy to find materials, & pretty inconspicuous to have a garbage can in your garage. As soon as i get about $250 (i still need a ballast) i will definitely try to pimp out a garbage can.

I might even change my name to Oscar if it works out right!

That's actually a pretty good idea. You should line the inside and the bottom of the lid of the trashcan in mylar too

I think  it is a GREAT idea.  400W might even been too much.  If i could some how find a duel chamber (top & bottom) or i could just put a 5 gal. bucket in the bottom, with some external service feature(Im thinking a pvc tube that connects to the bottom of the bucket, through the can, and 90* it up to the proper water level).
Then put 2 plant sites on the outer rim of the bucket.
Place a chicken wire tube on top and train the plants to the outside of the screen.
  Mount a 250 or 400w to the top of the lid with a Pyrex (or a like) bake-around tube surrounding. 
  Insert into the middle of the tube.

too bad I'm broke. :mad2:
