I read our comment as sarcastic so I replied the same, hence the :p .
I would tend to think that the orientation of the bulb would not reduce the heat in any significant way. . .
You should see it in person. I'm not sure if its even gonna fit in there as it 42 and 3/4 inches flange to flange and the flanges should be parallel to the 4ft walls so that only leaves me 6" and I have 2 6" ducts to hook to it. . .
Well where were you last week when I originally posted this?
LoL
I do not grow giant plants like you do. My largest hit about 3 feet in height so penetration shouldn't be a problem with 1000w. I do, however, grow in a 6' by 4' area so the spreading is what I'm going for.
I ended up getting the Sunleaves Predator Series King Cobra with 6" flanges. The glass measures 39"x30". Got it for 165+a couple grams from a friend of a friend who works at a distributor. . .
So that with a new bulb and a 6" inline fan/carbon filter will be going in this weekend. Should be fun!
It does have the sliding glass. I inherited it and bought the flange kit and glass for it after the fact when I decided air exchange was necessary to get the results I was after. It has kept my room below 74f even with the little 4" fan and 20+ ft run of 4" flex ducting. Prior to that it got to...
The feeding schedule I started with recommended 3tbs/gallon bb with 2tsp/gallon tiger bloom through out flowering, with the exception of weeks 4 and 5 (IIRC) where they recommend some grow big along with the others. . .
I am currently using the Radiant series hood but it doesn't have the flanges built in like that. I bought a kit to cap off one of the vents and put 4" duct flanges on the other 2. It's been working but its time to move up to a bigger fan. . .
It's actually this...
Which gets more light to the canopy?
I just ordered a carbon filter cause its getting stinky over here a little too regularly any more. I decided to get a combo because I needed to upgrade my fan anyways. Now I'm looking for a 6" air cooled hood to replace the 4 inch converted hood I've been...

Does this really give you the ability to run 2 600w bulbs to their fullest potential? Are there any problems associated? I definitely think that 2 600w HPS would be a nice step up from the single 1kw; is this an effective way of doing it? Thanks in...
Well, as a starting point I would only veg them until they were about 15" tall. At that size you should be able to average 2oz/plant if you can avoid any catastrophes. You can adjust from there if they overgrow or don't fully fill your room.
You will need air movement provided by a fan inside the room and another for recirculation (to bring fresh air in and exhaust the old air). Watering temp isn't too critical, most just go with room temp water. . .
