Do-it-Yourself Vertitube - Homemade Vertical Cooling! - Vertical / Colosseum Growing - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Okies, so someone in another thread asked about this, so I figured I'd post a lil thread....

I made a 6" diameter cooling tube for my 3 x 1000W lights, using cheapo "cool tubes" from the garden store, some 6" duct flanges, a hacksaw, and some metal tape. The base is a 12" to dual 6" ducting adapter with the 12" bit sealed off on the bottom.

Here's the play by play:

And finally, a pic of it in action (sorry if you've seen it already):

How do you insert the sockets!? Were they pre-installed? You should submit this to the Link-O-Rama!

Big Nugget & Rolling - they were cheap pre-fabbed cool tubes, I think they cost me around $60 a piece, and the sockets were pre-installed.

Matt & SoCo - I don't have a diary up, but I straight-up hijacked ChristianTaylor's vertical thread here: https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.p...8&page=1&pp=40

Everyone else, thanks for the props

I hope this helps some of ya dial in those vertical op's!

Those are the normal glass cool tubes that cost around $100.00? Or are they something else that can be procured from elsewhere?
