UPGRAYYYYYED!
I've elevated the plants on a table and hooked in this cooltube to the ground with the HPS. Atop is the MH controlled by a series of pulleys.
I actually bought two cooltubes, but they proved to be too big/unwieldy together. And as a happy accident, I accidentally smashed one of them while removing a metal endcap. I then realized that I could more easily control these with one cooltube, the other light hanging above. It keeps the lower branches away from the light, centralizes the heat, and still allows for the variable pull.
I may end up removing this table altogether and afixing the cooltube lower down on top of the fan, perhaps to a milk crate or something. I like where this is going, though.
BTW, as most of you have already figured out, I'm experimenting here. A lot of you with a great deal of experience have made several suggestions as to how I should approach this going-forward. I appreciate this and will likely integrate these later, but for now I want to test my own assumptions.
Peace and love,
FV
