i put the cooltubes away when i built the bigger room . i still have them here .... like i still had the hoods here when i was using the tubes 
gotta keep up brutha !!! 
my hoods are 6" block busters . 25" square hoods
i had these 3 i line in a 4 x 8 tent right before i moved here into this fuked up attic !!! i tried using them first , but had no freakin headroom with them , so i bought the tubes .

I was thinking you had 6" connectors. You go ahead and do it first. I wanna see how much restriction comes into play with the 8"fan pulling through the 6 inch hoods. lol Thats a potential problem but maybe not enough to matter 
what kind of problem are you thinking ??? i figured as long as the fan wasn't on full blast , that a 750cfm 8" fan with a 8 to 6 reducer would work pretty well . especially through 3 hoods & a few bends . that would restrict the flow enough to blow the heat out. No ????
& yeah i plan on doing this by summer . hopefully when i set up in a new spot , cuz i want 4 lights in a square room instead of the set up like i have now .
if it is a big problem , i can always do 2 lights each on their own 6" vent system & keep the 6" fans & filters , but figured i'd need 8" for the 4 lights, with maybe a 6" helper in the middle somewhere .

That is the same question I have. If you can get rid of the heat with out the fan running at full speed then restrictions don't really come into play. In theory if your fan is designed for 8" duct and you restrict an intake opening down to 6" you increase the static pressure decreasing the cfm the fan can move. If you decrease the out let side it will speed up the flow of the air because of pressure build up but because you made the outlet smaller the cfm will be less. Does that make since?
Also truning the speed of the fan down to decrease cfm is way better then running full bore with restrictions

i noticed that on the new carbon filter and fan set up in my flower room,its an 8x30 filter with an 8 inch active air running at about 60% or so but i had to put a reducer on to hook it to the rest of the exhaust system,at any rate,its nice and quiet and you can feel the air pull through the filter....and theres no stank leaking from the room...
Is the forum at the depot down for everyone?
yup a restriction on the intake side will make for a noisier fan then on the outlet side
Don't know whats up with that but the rumors are flying
nothing like some insulated ducting to damp the sound down to next to nothing...
i noticed the site was down the other day......how surprising,the rumor mill cranked up? im shocked...
nice! got the rundown on setting up my shocks on the bike and what all the adjustments do in the real world,hooked the air pump up and checked the pressure,consulted the handy dandy chart,found out the rear shock was perfect,the front was about 10 psi shy of where it needed to be,got that all set.found out that the shocks can be locked out "on the fly" while im riding....and got a better rundown on some of the local trails,plenty of riding yet to be done without having to repeat trails over and over...rode the ogre around with full panniers and the trailer packed pretty full,man you can really load that fracker up....if i maxed everything out weight wise its just shy of 150 lbs of capacity....thats a lot of shit....even without the trailer i put all my camping gear on the bike and in the panniers and still had loads of space left for food and clothes...psyched to hit the road again soon...
nothing to report about the road bike,aside to note im getting some good road hours in,turns out getting on a 19 lb bike after riding either the ogre which is probably 42 lbs curb weight with all the racks and such,or the camber which runs 30ish lbs,is loads of fun too,nice to go fast...
Thats my thinking on it .
but i don't really seem to get alot of noise from the fans in the rest of the house , floor must be better insulated than i thought . but that doesn't mean i won't have to worry about it in a new spot .
oh yeah,some boring old pot plants in veg
got a gg4 in a 20 to go into flower soon,plus a chemdog99 in a 20,and another gg4 in a 10 gallon to get sized up for a 45 and another swtc99 in a 10...should be done up potting for a few weeks..

Evening Y'all,
Was a pain in the a$$ evening for me.......but gotta say Chase credit card fraud dept is on the ball. They notified via text and email me asking if I had authorized a sizeable charge +1000 today. Thought it was a phishing scam so went online and checked my account. Did not see the large charge they had notified me about but did notice 2 charges today I didn't recognize so called them. 1st charge was less than $.20 probably testing number...second was online order for about $25. Then the one they notified me about $1100. No harm done other than the hassle of no card till I get a new one. Wish I could meet face to face with the thugs who caused me aggravqtion tonite! F' the thieving bastards! And no...have not shopped @ Target recently

after an order from the tude several years ago someone tried to buy train tickets somewhere in the uk. Shazam called me at 630 on a sunday morning to ask me about it.
Unc if what they say about the bush duplicating the root system you may get 4 lbs off the 45.
Dan the most important thing is getting the right amount of air flow to suit your needs. At worst you will shorten the life of the fan but at the rate we upgrade things that shouldn't be a problem lol

I got called from my CC today.. 200$ charge from Spain.. They took it right off. I had to cut up my card though a new one is on the way. There are more reports of this.
Ya'll been shopping at target?
so far 26 oz is my record off that swtc99,i will be happy to pull my first 2 lb plant...and even if i only get a lb per plant the system will still be viable... at just 1 1/2 per than everything is paid for and theres plenty of gravy fer the mashed taters...all i want is the freedom to ride baby!
Not sure what my per plant was. Got 1 1/2 from 4 plants in 10 gal with a short veg. Didn't come close to filling the 10 gal bag with roots. This time I think they will do better. The canopy is much denser. I turned most of the tops loose from the bondage tonight. Think I'm gonna do a second screen this time and more lolly popping. Clean everything under the first screen after the stretch and then put up the second screen after a slight defoliation session and see whjat that brings
with a plant this size i expect the 20 gallon pot will be full of roots,the 45 seemed like it was pretty full but i didnt try to turn the rootball out yet...
very true !!!
but like i said , don't rally need to worry about the noise here , but if i have to at a new spot ... i can just switch it .
worked great for me , there was only slightly less weight between the nets as there was on top . it was just all the biggest buds on the top net , but everything between filled in great & didn't do much defoliation either .
