Have a question....I have 2 1000 watt hps lamps in a 4x6 grow tent.... with 16 kush plants under them.... they are 2 diff. style reflector.....one is air cooled you kno the circular reflector...the other one i a norm square shaped reflector... do you think this is gonna cause hotspots??? How much do you think ill yield with 2000 watts on 16 plants in that tent Id say the temp is about 80 at the most.... also do you think running 2000 watts on 1 circuit in a small 1 bedroom apartment is bad? will it blow....

my buddy ran into a similar problem, both reflectors must be air cooled......if you want to do it right

didn't see your other question.....electicity is one thing I wouldn't f with....2000 watts is definitely too much for a regular apartment circuit.....I believe the max I go is about 1300-1400, that shit makes me paranoid though

I would just 1 1000w in the grow tent and use another in a sep room. Plug one into a different circuit. I think you are cutting it a little too close there
