currently i'm using a 2x4x5 tent to flower in. I have a 600 watt cooltube with a 6 inch inline rated at 435 cfm exhausting the light. My issue is I've out grown the tent and am planning on move to a cupboard space that is roughly 6x3x10.
so i want to grab another light but i have some dilemmas.
I've been pondering the 1000. but i know two 600 would be more efficient.
If i do add another 600 or 1000 how many more cfms would i need in that area???
To be honest the 6 inch seems like it would exhaust enough air for two aircooled lights.
Right now I'm running temps of about mid Eighties with the windows closed. (( I exhaust into the room that the tent sits in .... which i'm aware can be counter productive.))
My next rooim has a crawl space to the attic to where i would be exhausting directly out of the room, hopefully making for better temps and better use of energy.
I know this is a bit of a rant. But i've only been working with HIDs for about 6 months.
What would anyone who's listening do with my space.
Two 600?
a 600 and a 1000? ( i would make sure to buy aircooled in any event)
in either case how much more airflow do you think i would need to keep temps cool in that size space with that much wattage.??
like i said the 6 inch inline moves a ton of air ... I'm just not doing it properly by exhausting into the same room the tent resides.
HELP. I rep .... I'd like to make a decision very soon since time is a bit of an issue.
I know you growers with more than one light per room can help me on this subject... I'm looking forward (hoping) for some good advice!!! I've gained alot of knowledge in this forum.
