Well first of all.... dude said he's going to a/c his hoods. Second of all.... what the fuck are you talking about? 8" Vortex > 2K It don't matter if it's pulling through a hood or extracting a room. You're ate the fuck up my fiend.

yeah it worked, neg pressure is easy to control in smaller spaces than it is large one's, if your growing in a cab or tent yes its a good way to go, but with a room personally the old fashion way is a out performer all day every day!

lol a 8 inch vortex would extract a room with 2 1000 watt lights, non air cooled? w.t.f? wouldnt extract the heat from 3 600's never mind 2 1000 watters! lol .

I just don't understand how you can ignore physics like you do.

by not ignoring nature! plants love the co2 bought in to my rooms by intake fans, that shit they call fresh air!!!! for some reason plants love it!

Much like you... others don't wanna listen to reason. All I do is grow lots of the healthiest dank around.... I can always fall back on that. :lol:

If you keep those lights cool and monitor your humidity you will be thrilled with the results. I say go with the 2k watts, i currently have 1000 over my flowering babies 6'x6' and would love a little more consistent coverage. but im just a guy on the internet, you should take what i say with a grain of salt.

I am actually only heating the bathroom floor/room with the light exhaust. I use a ac for the room temps not for the lights. I now use cold fresh air for light when I flipped my fan around. I am using all 6" insulated ducting. Looks like I am going to have to down grade to some 600's. I am going to test these out first though and see what happens. I can have them turn on and off also. So does the halide benefit in flowering?

flowering 30-40 % humidity! lowers the chance of mold
no m8 the halide does not do anything good in flower! may be a mix of both for the first 2 weeks,(the stretch period) a couple of sunmaster's is what you need :)

The 8x4 table is out of the question, as he mentioned earlier, he doesn't have the space. Using both 1000watt lights, is not recommended. It's not exactly too much light, but it could burn the plants, even if the room is cool. What you want to do, is get two 600watt horizontals and cover a 4x3 with each, this would be much more efficient. If funds weren't a problem, I would do 4 400watt, 2 metal halides and 2 hps, each covering a 2x3 area. The lower wattage would allow you to move the light closer to the plants, thus proving more efficient than the 1000watters.

That is what I thought. This guy has no idea. That is what I have been doing with humidity! You're right about the 600 watt being the most efficient with the highest lumen per watt output!

2 lights would cause bleaching of the plants in that area, you would have to use some serious 10 or 12 inch extractor ad at least a 8 inch for intake! You would have to have the lights 3 foot away from canopy to stop scorching! This info is so lame!!

Can you explain th bleaching part? Do you mean he leaves would turn really yellow?

yes they could yellow, but i have seen leaves that are almost white, the light intensity alters the pigmentation of leave leaving them with a bleached effect.

at the present i have some colas within 5" of a bare 1000w hps without any "bleaching" or burning. I'm sure theres some truth to this, but if you keep your temps down with good ventilation then i think you'll be good to go.

you say 1 ,1000 watt but 2 is another story! 600 watters all day long are the way to go! also bare bulbs are not as intense as those in a hood! the hood directs the light down, bare bulbs emit light all around there for only being half as intense as a bulb in a reflector! :blsmoke:

There is a reflector above the hood, trust me when i say the light is plenty intense.
