This Growzilla hood has been nothing but a nightmare for me! I really wish I would have bought separate hoods. To make a long story short I ended up with an 8 inch fan with the 8-6in reducer to pull cool air from outside(currently around 50 degrees) through my hood, and vent it outside. I have 2k watts and the heat comes through the glass shield faster than I can vent it out. The hood itself is nice and cool and the line coming from outside gets cold to the point it has condensation. I have a 1k dual arc bulb(600hps with 400mh) and a 1k hps. I even have an 12k btu air conditioner blowing on the damn glass directly and it dropped my temps down to around 95. It produces heat faster than the AC can pump out cool air. I have two of these hoods set up like this with separate fans, intakes, and exhaust.
Bottom line is this hood needs to be a little bigger to suck this heat out. I have plenty of cool air and CFMs but the Growzillas won't cool for shit. Just a warning for anyone wanting to grow in a sealed room with low ceilings. If anyone has any suggestions please give me a shout!
