If you get a dimmable ballast and the light is too much you can turn the power
down plus if you get a larger tent in the future you will already have the 600.
There really is no downside to having a 600 except like potato chips one is
never enough.
I have a 3x3 that I use for clones with a 600 turned down to 50% and it works
great, no cool tube just a 6" powered exhaust.

Thanks for the reply! As mentioned I run the 400w with no issue and i could lower the temp easily with my cold air outside the tent. It's not often people say this but I actually want the 600w FOR the heat lol so heat is not my worry was just wondering about the immediate heat push and intensity on to the top of the plants not being air cooled.

With the 600w on 100% is it too much without a cool tube for your plants or does it just run the overall temp to high?

Not sure how powerful your 4" fan is, but I would say get at least a 5" fan as the 600 runs a lot warmer than the 400 and you'll need the air exhange to deal with that inside the tent.

4" fan has a rating of 190CFM, I actually have it dialed way down to not exchange the air too fast that heat is lost to quickly(I have plenty of negative pressure). I want the heat from the light, i use it to keep the tent to desired temp cuz my outside tent air can be so cold.
What's your thoughts on the intensity of the light without it being air cooled? Overall temps is not my worry, just the immediate intensity to the top of the plants with the light not being air cooled. Keep in mind I will have two 6" clip on fans blowing over the light and tops of plants.

I'm just worried that even though I can keep the overall heat in the tent almost as low as I want, I just don't want the immediate heat push off the light to be baking the tops of my plants.

I think you should be fine as long as you have adequate distance from light to canopy, with a 600 open hood I usually went with an 18" spacing.

Thanks man, I got some good head room with the 7' tall tent so should be good there. I just ordered up the 600w, if anything I got a dimmable ballast with it so I'll drop it to 75% if needed. Luckly I just bought the 400w so just gunna return that once I get the 600w.
Thank you all for the input, I appreciate the help!

I just don't need that much light on clones and it saves a bit of money on the electric bill.

Just came up from feeding the girls the SK x SC are throwing balls now, I missed a few so some pollen got loose.
Oh well what the hell.
Other than that the smell in there is unreal, almost a bit too much and they're just started.

What are the SkxSc Oldman? At first I thought sour cherry but not sure there was ever any with an SK crossed with SC....confusing myself now.

Sour Kush x Sour Cherry that's what was on the pkg., they threw balls on just the lower darkened branches
I know they were light starved that's why I put up the 5th 600 but I was too late.
2 clusters on a small dense pheno and 3 clusters on a very tall stretched out lady.
I might add these are some of the most fragrant plants I've ever grown, very nice job.

:peace:

P.S. This is the 3rd week of flower.

The SK (or Headband) as some call it (I noticed Reserva Privada have started calling their ecsd x og kush, headband again) has that 3 to 4 week lower branch thing going on. I never had any issue with it outside funnily enough. Must be the SK x db as that's the only thing with the SK in it. And it make sense with the smell mentioned.
