Hey all I have a journal going but I know the vert pros are in here.

This is my first time growing vert. Veg horizontally, now flowering vert

I'm using a 1000w hps in a 4x4, box fan on the floor and a 6inch extraction filter combo above the light.

I'm going to get an extension cord for the box fan

Any advice welcomed.
Looks super great and a super clean grow space.

Thanks man. I nearly had a heart attack the temps climbed up to 36c, realised the box fan has a grill on the front that always pushes the air on an angle, so I ripped that off lol. Temps dropped to 28c and continuing to drop. Thank god for that lol

Question. Why is the center of the bulb so far above the meat of the plants? The base from which its hanging should be at the top of the plants thereby putting the max of the 1K below the top. You said you're new to vert is why I ask. I never got a straight answer when I was in your shoes so I bought a light meter and took measurements to confirm correct placement. The least amount of light coming off that bulb comes from the top, about 40% of the centers strength at best but in a much narrower beam. The base had about 60% of the centers strength but at a much better, flatter angle than the tip. You familiar with what I'm saying?

The bulb is high because I was taking a photo. If I leave the bulb in the sweet spot, the photo looks shit.
