You could either go with maybe two lower wattage like 2x 600w, or just go
with one 1000w. But a 1000w PLUS another light? Overkill.

The single 1000w will give you almost 9000 lumen per square foot and over 60watts per sq. ft. That's about ideal.
now you just have to worry about cooling the beast. Talk to Loudblunts, he knows all about cooling a 1k in a DR120.
; )

As far as your question about weight - I have a DR120 (Approx. 4x4x6.5) and it can handle both a single
air cooled hood and a carbon scrubber with a Vortex fan attached with no problems. All together that's
about 40-50 lbs, with minimal bowing of the top support poles. I would say it could easily handle another
reflector hanging in there.

what if i had a 4x4x6.5 grow tent with co2 enrichment in it?would that allow the higher temps from a 1000 watt light and a 400 watt light.The 400 watt is self ballasted and the 1000 watt has an unattached ballast.I know co2 allows higher temps.

Im thinking 1 1000 watt hps 1 400 watt hps with an oscillating fan on high and co2 levels increased would maybe work but im not sure.

so i should just use the 1000 watt hps +co2+fan(i dont have more money for exhuast lol) would be good. I have 6 plants in 7 gallon containers that are 15 inches acoss so if i have them in 2 rows of 3 with the pots touching thats like a little less than 4 feet x 3 feet and there like 2 feet tall with the pots so it will be a tight squeeze.

im not sure if im even going to get one yet

lol she was such a slut

200 minimum cfm fan will keep a 1k cool.

i, however, like 400cfms sucking off my 1k watter

it can be done forsure.

my cooltube is about 12" from tops of plants

The attached ballast lights are too heavy. If you have a 1000, try it with that by itself and don't add the
400w until you see what your temps are like. Besides, any more light in there above 1000w is overkill and will
pretty much be a waste.

I have a decision to make and i have to make it soon.

should i buy a grow tent.or a co2 system .

situation/option # 1 if i buy a grow tent i cant afford co2 and i will flower with 1000 watts cooled by fans ,(no fancy exhausts or vents) just a grow ten + 1000 watts hopefully cooled enough with fans or i could do option #2

2-----or if i buy the co2 i wont have money for a grow tent but i can make a ghetto enclosure shack type of thing in a empty room and then ill use 1 1000 watt hps with an unattached ballast and 1 400 watt hps with an attached ballast and ill have 1 small fan blowing directly on each light and then one medium oscillaing fan that will blow air around the area and im not sure exactly what to do /how to use co2 yet but ill have that.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm what to do

or i could forget about the co2 or grow tent and put about 250$ towards a real ventilation system or something else im not sure what would be the best thing to do with 250 dollars in my situation

I agree with LoudB. The 2-600 watters is something else to ponder. Only 200 watts more to fire. With the two 600s you get 190000 lumens. 1000 about 150000. Plus the added flexibilty. The digis are awsum Makes the math easy anyways.
What is your grow medium? Have any strains in mind? Not trying to pry, just curious. Light it, Cool it, Grow in it! Good Luck

if you do go dual 600 watters

keep in mind lumatek has a dual 600 single ballast (digi) its made for 240v

Thanks for the advice .

I allready have 1(1000 watt unattached ballast hps light) and 1 (400 watt hps light with built in ballast)

i think i might forget about the tent and the co2 and build me a sweet ghetto shack box .
