Which type of glass on the Cooltube? / Best glass type to use on DIY cooltube

cheesyxstarted grow question 4 years ago

So since I'm into DIY stuff I was thinking to craft something like a cooltube and I'm not sure how the glass will impact the light intensity and which type of glass have the minimum value on filtering the light like also IR and UV. There are not much option except borosilicate...

Thinner the better I think. I only say that from looking at my old ones they have all been very thin easy to crack glass plus its light weight too.

Which of the two options do you choose and why: Option 1: 1440w over 40sqft giving 36w per sqft Option 2: 1440w over 48sqft giving 30w per sqft. The difference is an extra 2x4 of grow space. Do i go for more lumens or more plants? This is my first LED setup

If humans took weed to grow on another planet where the sun was up for 28 hours and down for 10 hours, how well would it grow? Would the plants adapt to the different light / dark times? Or maybe 24 of hours light, 6 hours of dark? Theories? Earthly Proof? Comments? 👽

My grow tent is sitting in my basement, which normally sits at 10C in the winter, so I set the heat in the room to 18C and the LED and 2 fans heat it to 20.4C in the tent. Anyone have a similar setup but using their grow lights as a heat source? Heating a basement is expensive.

Grow lights I'm currently looking for a new grow light. But it's crazy how many choices there are. Since my grow area is very small, 40x40cm or 1x1', I don't need a lot of wattage. So would prefer to invest in quality over quantity. Any suggestions?
