dimming changes the light spectrum aswell , so that's not a good idea

Hortilux is typically the go-to when it comes to single ended hps bulbs.
How much you will gain, im not sure.

ushio is good for mid level HPS bulbs, you could also just be cheap and get vivosuns

720 par is not bad for that range , can you afford to place 2 side by side or 2x600w side by side ?

Its like a 2.5 square foot grow lol I was only lookin to get a lil snack for spring. If i were to buy two new hoods they would be 1000 watts for a larger space.

that ushio is a good value , bulbs are cheap and you really can replace a cheap one every other grow or run the hortilux 4 runs or so, about the same cash spent

So with a new bulb on 10% overdrive and lowering the light back down another 5 inches im hoping to bring my canopy into at least an average of 65K. After the flowering stretch stops i can lower the light as low as possible.

65k would be pointless without co2, 50k is fine trust me
if you go to hard on them and they can't keep up you will harm them

Your not running any exhaust fans or anything? If thats the case then yes, you have to supplement co2. But I dont see how you could keep humidity and temps good in the tent without air circulation.....

The reflector has and intake and out. Both have ducting going outside the tent. One side has a blower fan pulling cool air threw the hood and the other side is exhausted outside the tent. I also have a big ass oscillating fan in there for air circulation. I honestly could tell you my RH but its on the lower side since its winter.
My carbon scrubber is also inside the enclosed tent.

Right but if the tent is 100% sealed it shouldnt matter what the RH is outside the tent....

In a perfect set up it wouldn't matter but in actuality the tent breaths, its' not air tight. Not only does the tent have imperfection but c02 can fit threw less than .5 of 1 micron so it can escape threw the tent fabric itself. The carbon scrubber also makes the tent negative pressure pulling in the outside atmosphere.
Yes i'm loosing c02 but to get the right ppms in a 40 cubic foot tent its costing like 20 cents a days with a proper C02 controller.
