I have a grow tent 4x4x6 and a 1000watt hps light...(no glass) and Im wondering If this is too much. I have heard of others doing this, but i wanted to make sure.

Also, Can anyone suggest a venting system, not too expensive, but adequate? Thnks

you are gonna HAVE TO VENT THAT Light

especially in a tent like that.

i prefer cool tubes, but any reflector that allows you to cool would work

i have a 400cfm fan on mines..... but i think anywhere from 200-400 should work just fine

Yeah that sounds about right cool tube all the way

My thoughts: If you dont vent your light it will get way to hot and you will use alot of energy to compensate. Without the vented hood I had to run my fans constantly and could never get my humidity up because of it. Even on a rainy day with 2 humidifiers I would only get 10% max and I even used a dial switch (?) to control my fan to ideal its an 8" vortex. Now my temp is 67-74 humidity 40-50% and the fan is only on 25% of the time = less power usage & more controled enviornment. Good luck hope that helps. Your HIGHness

8" vortex on one 1k watter? that is overkill and not necessary (NOT calling you out sempre, or saying you're wrong) but we sure dont want n00bs reading this thinking they MUST buy an 8" fan just to cool a 1000watter


200-400cfm is very much adequate to cool a 1000watter

I think your right Loud. And I didnt mean to suggest that an 8"was recommended. Although I have used mine on full a couple of times when something happened it is primarily for end of season hot air and BIG filter. For the issues at hand I must yield your est. is more on target. Cheers

http://www.htgsupply.com/viewproduct...roductID=47981

First off, will i need to ventilate this setup? If so what kind of reflector should i get? i thinking an easy cool 6? Am i on the right path to setting up my tent?

thanks in advance to anyone who can point me in the right direction.

Yeah buddy yur good with the 6 what about air filtation? yur still probably good. Without queastion light heat is your biggest determanate....t5?1000w?5-floros? keep the heat 67-74 and yur golden yo. out
