Be very greatful if some could point me in the direction of a thread/link

On trying to find out what wattage of. HPS buld i can use in a grow tent, size is 1.2M/1.2M/2.0M

i would use a air cooled shade, , not cool tube,

It would have a high presure ruck fan, 6"

I would Also have a rhino carbón filter with a in/out take fan


Would a 1000w HPS be to much ? And best to go 600w HPS ?



Im happy to do as much reading as it takes, so any good threads ? Links ?


Be very greatful for any helpful replys

the minimum watt per square foot is like 33 watts 50 to 60 is ideal so maybe the 600 watt

im thinking the 1000 watt would make it to hard to control the heat..

I would def go wit 1000 as long as u can keep the heat down. I just saw a thread on here where a guys got a closet smaller then urs wit a 1000w and he was able to keep it cool with no ac and pulled a good harvest.

Thanks for the replys, been away ,

On selling my tent for a 2.4m/2.4m/2.0.

So will be going 1000w HPS with incloosed cool shade , with 2 separte out take fans

1 through light/shade another through carbón filter, so dont think heat will be a problem ,

Will also be extracting out of room , and pulling on cool air .

Again thanks for the replys
