Well I just stuck my socket in there. Looking good? Honestly havent even researched this technique. I am just replacing an aircooled hood setup so I can keep my heat up. I am also gonna add another 1000 in there. No idea if this is right lol. Its a booster fan underneath. View attachment 2973853

Yup that's how you do it. Only during flowering, I remove my fan blowing up and use outside cool air to bring in to cool it, in return I lower my hps bulb down to the middle of the plant. Right now, since I waited so long to switch lights I got it lower so it reduces stretch.. They are about 4 feet long now. But once hey start getting buds, I'll raise it up and make sure the whole inside of the plants are exposed to light.

Cool thanks for the input. I am going to put them just over the tops of them once I have two. Or maybe I will have them the way it is right now and just add the second in the middle. I was just concerned with the extra direct heat. Not to sure yet.

Yup, looks right to me haha. The plants could utilize more light if they were a bit bigger, but you're going about it the right way.

I run 4 1k hps in a vert setup w/o cooltubes.I keep a fan in the center of the interior to push the warm air up and over my top shelves to keep things comfy. If you look at adding some shelving and start stacking plants, you can take it to the next level...

Extra heat from a vert? IME, vert is easier to cool as there's no giant radiator sitting above the bulb. Heat rises freely in a vert set-up to the extraction point, helped along with a gentle flow upwards from below. My temps always run warmer when I throw in a reflector.
