Dust Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 my Friend has a rectangular one in a 1x1M tent, and i found that it had little dificulties to cover the entire 1m² room with no "dark" zone.For the other, Don't know about that type of cool tube, mine is not as covered as that, i've added my cooltube in a DIY adjust a wing cause i find usually the cooltube's reflector are shitty ^^Good luck man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growmaster J Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 I love the XXXL but they dont distribute to Canada, after taxes and duty its insane. I can get the 8' tubes w adjust a wing for $100.00 eachIt would be around $225.00 for the XXXL each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbrown Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I got one just like the left one but i dont have thoose side-reflectors,just like 3cm ones..But i have a real tiny growarea(57x57cm) so i dont really have havethe light-spread problem.. Yet!But since im planning a big expansion soon ill might be having that prob.And im wondering, since you guys have TONS of experience in this matter,could any1 suggest a design for my "addon"?Is your one a good example to go from Growmaster J?Maybe a custom designed that covers the entire space,maybe two cooltubes with a combined reflector but i dont know..This is the material i got , its around 1mm thick, and its reallyfun to work with. thanks for any inputs and sorry if i went offtopic in some way.

reane Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I use cool tubes and have found an easy way to give them much better reflection. Using what they come with as standard I think is a waste of time and money; I have also found that the 150mm cool tubes give much better light than the 125mm. But being that I am new to indoor growing, it might be better to test that out for your self.So here are some photos showing how I have adapted my cool tubes.Tools that I found would be useful in one way or another for making my reflecting device.This was a cheap 5 pound reflector from my local grow shop (discounted because damaged). I removed all parts and bent the bulb holder out.COOL TUBE.With very careful measuring using a measuring devise I marked out where to make my new hole.MAKE HOLES (I used a masonry drill bit, I know bad girl but it did the job).Bolt the new REFLECTOR to the cool tube (using original hangers).Hey presto you now have a supper duper amazing reflecting device ready to charm all those lovely LADY'S. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reane Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 The only problem I find with my cool tubes is in the winter, I think I am going to have to buy a heater or use open bulb reflectors when it’s really cold. Save the cool tubes for the summer months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
