Best 3000W LIGHT SETUP for FLOWERING (2x Super HPS, 1x Super Blue Dual-Arc HPS/MH)

Okay, so, the bulbs I am going to use are:

Eye Hortilux 1000W SUPER HPS x2
Eye Hortilux 1000W SUPER BLUE HPS/MH DUAL-ARC x1

I have air-cooled hoods for the Super HPS, but I can't put the Super Blue in the air-cooled hoods that I have because the glass will block the UV emission from the MH.

I was thinking of having each Super HPS cover half of the plants, then the Super Blue in either an Adjust-A-Wing reflector covering the entire room, or a large parabolic reflector, or hanging vertically in the center of the room.

The other option would be if there is an affordable aircooled hood whose lens allows UV rays through.

Looking for suggestions and explanations as to the best way to set this up.


The room is 7' x 10' right now, will probably be closer to 5' x 10' eventually.

Currently running 16 plants, after this cycle will most likely be 9-12 plants per cycle in a SoG/perpetual 2-room grow.

I run the same setup. I keep them all inline, super blue in the middle...just move plants around often. The halide bulb in the sb is small so don't keep it too far from the canopy.

I can't tell you how curious I've been about those lamps. I was doing the mixed spectrum thing for a long time and never had the guts to try it with these lamps. Hey dgp, how has this setup worked for you? It's definitely relevant to this thread. My curiosity about those lamps has been a lingering thought for a while now.

I've loved it,so far. It,really helps calyxes swell up nicely. I want to eventually have all of these bulbs. Tried to to a side by side comparison but got high forgot. Def a recommendation from me

The glass under the lamp is to keep water from hitting the bulbs. I just toss mine aside because I don't worry about water hitting it, as I just water roots, no foliar sprays.

Thanks for the answer. That is one thing I noticed about mixed spectrum...that it really does give you a lot of trichomes. I guess the blue spectrum really does play a part in the amount of crystal coverage.
