    What do you think is the best hood?

    I'm liking the hydrofarm radiant series I currently have an older one w/o air cooling, I have a 6" and then 2 of the new 8" with hinged glass. Hate to say it but their new chinese stuff is nice. Can be had for about 1 bill mail order.

    Grow room keeps loosing power... only room in the house thats loosing power. WTF??

    If they are on the same breaker, then they are sharing the same 15 amps. You need to have that 1k on it's own dedicated circuit and the additional items on their own circuit. If you have to run an extension cord, make sure it is up to the task. Orange outdoor grade usually are not. Purchase a...

    4 1000W or 8 600W?

    2x the hoods, 2x the ducting, 2x the noise, 2x the setup cost. If you do it right you'll be re-lamping 8 fixtures instead of 4 every 6-9 mos. 600 bulbs cost more. That's what pushed me towards 1k's, plus all of those hoods! I'd be knocking into them constantly.

    Humidity problem

    Circulation X 10! The kiss of death will come if you have temps dropping into the low 60's high 50's with that much moisture, otherwise you should be good. You could always burn sulfer as a precaution.

    Why 30" From Light?

    I think the closer is better myth has caused more problems than just about any other single item in your indoor grow. I know I bought into it 100%. I had water cooled lights that you could have 2 inches off of the tops if you wanted. Took me about 3 cycles to see that my best results were coming...

    Why 30" From Light?

    Same reason street lights are on 30ft poles. We use higher wattage bulbs to cover more area, not hit them harder. Hell at 50 watts per sq ft. all you need is a 50 watt floro if you are only lighting a square foot. You can have that 1 inch over the tops!

    Even if you don't DIY, doing what we are doing, you should have a solid understanding of electricital wiring and proper guaging. A good household wiring book can give you that basic understanding for a few bucks and an extended session on the throne! Highly recommended.

    I would say yes, you should be concerned. Even a 20 amp circuit would be a stretch. 1k=9 amps window ac typically 5000 btu 5 amps You should split it up.

    Co2 useage and tank life

    Tank life will depend on how well your room is sealed and how much foliage is in the room. I used to get 4 weeks out of my first tank then 2-3 per tank with a room full. If your room isn't sealed and you are exchanging air with the outside then I'm of the opinion that you should skip co2 and...

    4kw Sealed Stealth Attic Grow Running Hot Cooltubes?

    Yes 18-24 is good on a 600. a 1k is a different animal. Spend a few bucks on a light meter and find the sweet spot that your hood works at. There will be a point that is has the best coverage.

    4kw Sealed Stealth Attic Grow Running Hot Cooltubes?

    I know that there's much debate on this but 18" away from a 1k in my experience isn't really that good. It does depend a great deal on your hoods etc. but I have run water cooled systems that produced no heat at all but still cooked the plants if too close. My best results were still at 30-36"...

    4kw Sealed Stealth Attic Grow Running Hot Cooltubes?

    With only 6 feet of height I think you would find things much easier to manage with lower wattage bulbs. 400 or 600 watt would be better suited. Also when running a sealed, your plants will produce a ton of humidity, running air cooled lights and using a dehumidifier is often less efficient than...

    Choosing a Dehumidifier?

    I'm getting great results from a 99.00 wal mart window mount air conditioner. I have it running in the room (both condensor and evaporator coils) and added a drain to the bottom. I need it to run 100% so I just crank up the cold to keepo it on.
