Hey again Ozgrowa,

>>Ok here in Oz we have Heat Shields that fit to a brand of reflector called the Adjusta Shade, these allow a 1000Watt lamp to go to around 12 to 14 inches, without the chlorophyll oxidization occuring.<<

I run the Diamond II with tempered glass, insert, and Hortilux 1K hps---make mods for air cooling. My strains start bleaching around 9000fc (about 18” below glass), temps at plants mid 80s.

>>i will attempt to get some pictures for you, they were in a local newspaper here so it wont be too hard<<

That would be great. For reference, here’s a pic of bud size about 2 weeks out---around 24Zs per KW------The canopy isn’t completely filled but imagineing TWICE that density is very difficult--------sure would like to see it though.

Thanks for the discussion,

Hey Alaric,

It's a little hard to tell from your picture, but is that the Webbytube system your using. If it is, how does it work. I was thinking about building one.

Hey Aerobuds,

Nope, not the webby tubes----don't believe sprayers/misters are necessary (no offense to webby---great grower and contributor). Also, each tube can be adjusted vertically and horizontally---while in service. Continious trough instead of individual holes. Best of all-----no medium. Res outside room, nute flush and reload by turning valves. Auto topping-----can be ignored for 5 days. Construction details in the posts in image gallery at CW in the webbytube threads.

As for results-----you be the judge.

Thanks Alaric,

Just wondering why you don't think misters are necessary. Im using them now with absolute explosive growth. But I to believe the webby tubes are over engineered and something much simpler can be built with the same results.
