Pardon sorry if you are asking if you need more light I would say try get at least 1200 watts of light for your 33 sq ft

Okay mate cool I’ll figure summet out thanks

 

[r0am1ng st0ner]

I have noticed that any time I spend on getting more/brighter light I always get that back in bud size and density, the brighter lights help the plant use up more food and they just really love life in there stretch and flower period, I am even adding a blurple with lots of red in it for flower once they start flowering a little lol

I do not have a clue what that is bro but sounds interesting lol ? So what’s better 2x600 hps or 1x1000w hps efficiency wise do u think

 

[r0am1ng st0ner]

2 600w will be more efficient in at least one way that I can think of, that would be that it will better distribute that light through your extra long tent so that way all your buds will get the most of it

So with both 600 on over night and one being in a cool tube still hit 30 degrees in there well 29.4 or somthing like that

 

[r0am1ng st0ner]

can you try set up a system where you hook a little peice of ducting to the far side of the cool tube and place it above the light not in a tube and see if it vents off any of its heat? are the cool tubes expensive/hard to get?

No not really expensive but atm they are to me and I don’t no how the hell ild get in there to hook it all up with it being in a scrog I couldn’t reach over with out falling in them lol

 

[r0am1ng st0ner]

can you turn both the 600s down at all or even the one out of a tube? do whatever works best for you, even less light still grows

Hmm how would that work ? Could I use something like a fan controller or would I need a whole new ballast

That would be a feature on the ballast some will be fixed and some will have dimming, I don't know about a inline dimmer on the power supply

Okay man thanks , yeah I’ll look into this again thanks man ... 29
Deffo to hot yeah ?

 

[r0am1ng st0ner]

umm my canopy hits like 27/28 as a max but super ventilated so it is not far off. I don't want to say one way or the other generally the plants will tell you if they are in heat stress. hopefully someone with hot temp experience will chime in

 

[TastyTerps]

Me neither man ! U think I should stay with just the 1 600w ?

Which lights are you using? Is 600 watt the actual draw from the wall?
