That doesn't sound like much room for a 600w bulb. Got any pics of the setup? That would really help

Because of height you might be better off using 2x 150w cfl .

Click to expand...

hood thickness about 10" you need atleast 16" from tops to hood. thats over 2 foot. dwc setup about foot tall. now you have maybe 12 inch of room for plant. unless thats what your shooting for.

u can LST the plant to fit under that light, i was wondering what strain cause i thought u would never b able to grow sativa in there.. u could train it (Low stress training) and put into flower early ,, i have 600hps and i acn put my light as close as 8 inches with 2 osciliating fans osciliating between tops of plants and lights..

whats your temp in the room? even with the glass you need to have atleast a foot or more between tops and hood. veg to 12" and hope it doesn't get more than another 6" during flower and your good.

When your plants next dark cycle comes around take the plants out and put them somewhere else thats suitable while you install the HPS to test the temps out. Then you'll know exactly where you stand and how many degrees cooler you need to get it which will help when buying ventillation.
