Just wrapped the whole she-bang in reflectix, makes a tremendous difference,


looking down on it all:

^^^ duno what that ? is doing on that fixture....

at the moment im burninng a joint brainstorming how to make a wide & low cone that will easily sit on top of this silver tube, making it look like sum kinda ganja plant filled space shuttle.

I like it! Reminds me of Bud-Boy's 33 sq ft of vert, with the reflector-wrapping..

I dunno if it'd be such a grand idea to "close" the top up with a cone. Seems like the reflectix is sitting on the floor, right? I might feel a little more warm and fuzzy if I raised it up a couple or three inches, so's some air movement can take place, .. Same with the cone - I'd be concerned that I'm really limiting my air exchange.

Lookin' good!

thanks silver, glad to have u & ur input here!
we r planning on putting a muffin fan or box fan of some variety under the light pushing light up, and prolly end up poppin some "intake vents" (aka holes) in the base of the relectix.
i also am considering making the top cone 3 pieces, one being free o f the other2, so i could pop 1/3 of the top off of it if heat ever did become an issue.
this may take another joint.....

not as snazzy lookin as i'd like, but perfectly ghetto for my liking...


^^got the top on flat no cone
looks more like a big can of cup-olosseum vibes than a spaceship, unfortunately

Here is a peek inside from the top, peel back the can lid:

^^^ also got the fan in place, pretty sure it will keep the air flow and temp in check... if not ill prolly either dig a 12" box fan out of storage or jump for one o dem lil honeywell "mufin" fans


thanks for stoppin in

startin to feel like a party in here...

The plants that are in the bottom can be placed around the outside on top of some upside down buckets or pots to get them closer to the light.

[Avinash.miles]

thanks ich, it may not seem like it, but the bottom plants are pretty close to the light.... from the tip of the bulb to the top of the base pot is 15" ish.... also if i raised the plants up i'd have to raise the reflectix....
it all fits right now w the only variable being heat & airflow (whether or not that fan is up to the task0
also added the drip trays under each base pot today
