Man what kind of grow space are you in ?

You know these big lights make alot of heat right? And they need a good 2- 3 feet of space between the light and plant tops
yeah i know,um in feet i think its like 12 foot high by mayb 15 wide and maybe same length ways,its quite big but i really havent set it up to handle bigger lights yet,
seem to do fine,runs alil hot with four 600w in there so i think il run with them for a while more

Yeah you might need a/c or more fresh air depending on your climate.

It all comes down to how much do you want to grow,

I would rather four 600w lights evenly spread out and grow medium plants rather than vegging for months and growing trees indoors

i completely agree!!,i used to grow trees indoors but now im thinking just like that,med plants,way quicker as well with less veg and all on hydro so even quicker than im used to is what im hearing,i used to grow with coco so im very new to it but il get it
i really just wana grow enough for me and enough to have a smoke with the friends whenever they pop over i guess but i like good quality clean smoke thats why i chose to do it myself

are they led,s with a hps 1000w hitting through them?i heard thats the way to go also
Their in netpots on a flood tray with one side pumping water up from the res and one hold leading back into the res

Shallow recirculating

Honestly it produces man . But im tired of hydro and cleaning so often.

Good dope but im switching to probiotic organic haha

I got tired of growing bulk, i want to grow the best of the best high brix plants

Why not mount each bulb at the far ends of your reflector?
mmmh, i just wanted to intensify the area i wanted with 2 bulbs not stretch out the grow area which is what will happen when i put the bulbs at each end and yes i have done that in the past,the shades suck and hold to much heat also they are not dimpled and are heavy so id just run 2 normal shades with a light in each to enlarge the area if i was to do that but cheers anyway,i could just buy a 1000w light haha

Yeah maybe a 600w hps next to a 400w mh could be good. cheers for the idea man
I would personally do that,
I've read, but haven't seen with my own eyes, people running a 400 and a 600 on one 1000w ballast. Also, two 600's on a 1000w ballast. I don't know how you wouldn't keep the 600 and the 400 from evening out to 500 each...
If you do run both mh and hps please do a journal as I would consider doing the same thing.
