This is new territory for me. Moving my girls into a tent for a grow and i have questions. But first im gonna list what i have:
- 4 1000 watt ballasts
- 4 hydrasun vented hoods with Hortilux Super HPS
- 10x5x7 grow tent
So here are my questions. Should i rock (3) 1000 watters evenly spaced in a row? (not concerned about heat)
Maybe use splitters? That way its only 2 ballasts and 4 hoods rockin 500 watts each for a total of 2k watts?
Some say a 1000 watt with a good bulb will do a 5x5 area easily, but i have always kept it to 4x4. Then again a tent is one big ass piece of mylar and would make up for that....and in this case i would only need 2 hoods.
I know tent ceilings are week, i will compensate for the weight. I will most likely be building a PVC frame to hold the lights in the tent. I cant have lights falling on my lovely girls
Thanks in advance!
