i am about a month in just started 12/12 yesterday im running 400w hps was thinking about getting a 600 from a buddy would buy a new bulb (what should i get) unless what i got will work. the 600 is vented but no glass for and the bulb is iffy for 70 should i get it or stick with what i got ive got 3 from seed and one clone in there and want to bud them out will it get to hot how should i set it up??i moved the fan to the other sideof that tube in the second pic!

how olds the bulb in the 600?
maybe save the cash on the bulb and spend it on electricity to run the 400 and 600 side by side during full flower? if you can keep the heat down...
son-t range bulbs are good if you buy one

he does not know so im debating on it is that a good deal i can get my hand on a 400w 800w is right for 4x4x7 tent i was lookin at 1000w dimables and they look good but 300$ is to much right now but the 600w hydro farmhood has no glass i would like to biuld it and grow for a while what is a good final setup in your mind

2 x cooltubes?
, side by side like this


make one your 400, and one your 600
get a new bulb for it if you can since you dunno how much life is left in it

or if you can run the 2 lights in the tent with no ducted lights, and keep your temps under control, go for it

i like 2 x 600w over lapping light from 2 directions, rather than one 1000w even tho its got better penetration, it runs hotter and wastes more electricity/money

sould i buy the 600w will it help what i got if i just ran the 600w or shoud i just use another 400 i can get

I would run the 400 and 600 side by side during full flower personally (if you can manage heat)

During veg and early flower just use the 400 if you want to save yourself some electricity

I would replace the 600w if you can afford it, but if not just use it anyway

that last picture is weird, how come you got an electric cable carrying pole (wooden pylon) at ground level.
nice plants though.

holy shit!

you cant run high voltage power cables down so low like that,
the put out electro-magnetic radiation and its no good for your plants
