Here is a shot of the hood from underneath!




This is a picture of one of the reflector boxes to show the brand.



This is the type of ballast I am using 1000w switchable.





Here is a picture of the improved socket mount that will help allow better airflow, Which is what makes these hoods a good choice!



I went with sunmaster 1000w mh bulbs, I went with 1000w hortilux hps bulbs and reptiglo 10.0 uvb bulbs for the floresents.

Thanks for the hood pics, blaze! They do look nice indeed. Seems like more and more air-cooled reflectors are incorporating the hinged glass lens design, which makes it so much easier to clean. What type of weather strip is used on those hoods?

The SuperSun2 reflectors I just got has a similar aerodynamic design on the socket mount , but the Daystar AC's (new model w/ hinge!) do not, and has some very, very cheap, crappy foam to boot. (I'm starting to really dislike these Daystar AC's, and favoring them for the SS2s.)

Are those ReptiGlow's T8's? Googling seemed to indicate that they were T8's, but I couldn't be sure. (The relative size to the Mogul socket seems to indicate they're T8's, too )

Ahh... from a quick Google inquiry it seems Vortex makes multiple models of the 12" including the "low power" (CFN-1200L) 900cfm/2.2A (according to a random retailer's site), a "high power" (CFN-1200) 1140cfm/3.2A, and "high power" (CFN-V12XL) 2050cfm/4.8A. They also have this configuration on at least the 6" and 8" as well (I wasn't aware of any of this). The "high power" 8 inch Vortex (CFN-800) @ 747cfm and 10" (CFN-1000) @ 790cfm also draws 2.2A, so I'm curious if your theory on it being the same motor with larger propellers and larger flanges is indeed correct. Interesting to note that all carry a 10 year warranty except for the 12"XL (2050cfm), which has 3 years instead...

Hey Blaze,

Great show, keep up the amazing work, super clean setup.

What are those black things suspending the hoods in air?

I'll be following this show...

He's running a sealed room; the black things suspending the hoods are reflector yo-yo's; quite nice, if you're not broke. You can raise and lower 'em, and it'll keep its vertical position.

Update time!

The room is completed, Except hanging the xgc-1 extreme greenhouse controller and hooking up the ac and dehumidifier and co2 system to the atmospheric controller. But other then that everythings finished. I'll hang the controller tommorow and then pick up all the soil. Just about 10 days from getting this show on the road. Here are some pics of the clones etc.
