The other thing to consider here if your talking a single 600 per 4x4 is "vertical coverage"
For those who have used vertical 600's, how many inches of vertical canopy can Mobo ecpext to have good light coverage on without moving the lamp up and down with a mover etc?
As we see @zep_lover has his lamps double stacked

36ish inches is a safe guess.

But who's to say......i may be ok with those smaller nugs at the bottom on a 48 inch canopy......he might not want them.But after 6 years straight of a single 600 i'd go with 36ish inches of decent usable light.

i would say around 90cm max. I have double stacked lights for this very reason.

If I double stack my lights I can only run the vert. This room cannot handle all that juice right now and I am not in a position to change that.

Have to work with what I got to run

Update for the morning and mid afternoon. I topped off the res in the closet F&D with water and nutes, and did the same to the veg tent. The plants in veg seem to be responding well to me lowering the light which is good. My worms came in for the outdoor pots, and I got them into the soil and gave the pots a light top watering. Also the slip fittings for the trays came in today. I think by Monday everything will be here but this weekend I'll be building the stand for the tray on the empty side and hanging the vert 600w to see if it will work for me and see what happens to the temps with it running along side the other 600w in the Raptor hood.

I do believe I will be watering and feeding the flower tent again tonight so I'll update there later.
:peace:

as long as you have a small fan blowing up on the bare bulb and a fan removing air from the top of the tent,you should be fine.since you have all those led lights,you can use those in conjunction with the 600 bare bulb to fill in poorly lit areas.the bottom fan needs to be on low so it doesnt blow the hot air up and around.proper vert training is very important.i started vert with 8 plants around 1 600.went to 6 plants around.added the stacked 600 hps.my best results were always running 4 plants around either 1 or 2 600 stacked.i am no master grower but going vert got me to hit around 1 gpw consistantly.having my led light bar hanging vertically in front of mt 2.5 foot wide by 6 foot high racks is the easiest vert i have done.that scrawny stripped down plant i have for my pic yielded 9 oz i think with 1 200 watt led and 1 in between it and another for 100 extra watts.i am away from my grow for up to two weeks at a time so i cant really dial in that great.think you will need a 8 inch fan sucking from top of the tent at least

the fireballs are a no brainer to germ. And the skxdb also have some really nice results from what i have seen. sour cherry will give you colour but is not my favourite in the flavour dept.

So what do you say start going though the DOG and the Fireballs first?

Ok here's a question for the HID guys . How does the spread of a DE bulb compare to a SE when they are bare (no fixture, vertically)?

Thinking of some madness but need to know the answer to this first ..........

Nice trip down memory lane here.

Everything you're doing or considering, I've done the same.

In my case I was extremely happy with my LED lights on vertical trellis panels.

If people aren't happy with the frost from LED lighting, consider adding a florescent UV lamp.
