I think you did by raising your light fixture.

Adding a glass shield is ideal for a non air cooled hood.

The cool tube has both features.

1.) It has the glass shield to help shield from radiant heat.
2.) It is air cooled which also causes the light to run at a lower temperature. Which in turn reduces radiant heat (which isn't removed via air movement).

&

A cool tube/air cooled hood has the added safety feature of
3.) containing a fully warmed up hot light if it ever shatters/breaks during operation.

Tbh i have found a pretty simple method with either a pro-mix sunshine mix using worm castings, chunky perlite. Then cal mag with fish hydrosylates for feedings. In between using straight water i have yet to see any issues. Or buy the jacks 20-20-20 stuff is really sexy

Very nice.. I met a great dude on here and meet up with him and he gave me a 5gall that is premixed for me and cleaned.. I've just watched so many videos that made it look way complicated

Once you have done it half a dozen times its like tying your shoes. Especially if your ladies are your passion ya dig? Im a firm believer that this plant reciprocates your TLC early and later in its stages in life ....in the final harvest. A true cure will truly bring out the trich sluts like me lmao

Ha, mine gets stupid hot and is deceptively heavy, it is like a block of lead. It came with a little handle as thick as a clothes hanger wire, yeah that just bent and fell off the first time I picked it up.
