Hey I am wondering if anyone prefers 600w cooltube over open air?I dont think heat will be too much of an issue. I have limited height and am stuck between the two choices. I was leaning towards open air with a light diffuser. what do you think?

Open air I usually don't want the canopy less than 15 inches from the bulb, it gets a bit intense but also any closer and your light spread is poo. So in that case the hight issue can be an issue.

Iv used those light defusers in the past but can't really say what happened, I had allot going on at the time.

Can't really say bc I know next to nothing about your setup, but if heat ISN'T an issue but hight might be,,, I'd do a scrog with bare bulb.

All 3 of my lights are open bulb

I run a cooltube too and it's only because I don't want to have to run my AC unit in order to keep the room cool. It's for emergencies only, lol

EDIT: I am running a 940 watt HPS conversion bulb at the moment though. I can get away with running a single bare 600 in my room without having to run the AC except for during the hottest days.

I'm thinking of going vertical.

Then the real dank will appear

I think vert is a really good use of hps/MH as it is omni-directional light source.

I've been brainstorming on how to make it work in my room

If you can get all the way around the light like the setup who had it makes great use of the entire light. Shelves can help too so you dont have to veg monsters from the floor up.

I still really like flat scrogs though. with the right light they are great. To me it is all about maximizing the efficiency of the equipment being used so not much time and $$ is wasted.

Yea I don't know what to do yet.

I mean I could drop 3 lights in a row. Room is roughly 10'x5'6 and a gets wider at the halfway point. Decent size just have so many ideas going through my head..

That is almost identical to my space. I'm at 11'x5' on the inside of the room. It is split so I have the 5x5 flower and the 6x5 veg spaces.

i only have ran one light in it's footprint....315w LEC




she is all dry & in the cure jars....sitting at 398g very happy with this light,and the scrog setup..

but from the start of my growing,it has been like this..

i just hang the lights in the room & put plants under/around them...i be on bullshit when it comes to doing things right...as long as im close to 75w sqft i cool.

Right on G! Quality AND quantity you must have been doing this for a while

Btw, what's lec?

Thats whats doing it. 92 cri is pretty awesome. I am guessing that is why the 3000k white leds are doing great and with 80cri. Most hps lamps are 20-25 cri at most.

Looked it up. looks like a pretty bad ass lamp. Cant bitch about the Gpw on that one.

Mm!
Godamn, g!
That is some serious gourmet shit!

I think it's time to go roll some doobies to take for the weekend
I am not sure how many to take since I won't be sharing with anyone this trip. Maybe I'll just roll a handful and go with that, lol

I been trying to tell you guys about cmh's or lec's or whatever for like 5 years or something. smh

Iv known about CMH since I joined, never heard of the lec before.

Thanks for the info G, big ups.
