3-600 watt or 2-1000 watt over 4x8 tray

[sunnyside]

if you want big plants...1000
if you want to have an efficient garden...600

WHY CAUSE THE HEAT?..???????????...1000W RUN COOL TO THE TOUCH WITH THE COOLTUBE....BUT NO ONE HEARS ME

 

[sunnyside]

I hear ya Issack ...loud and clear. COOLTUBES are the shit!!
that doesnt take away from the fact that 600's are more efficient lights

WHY CAUSE THE HEAT?..???????????...1000W RUN COOL TO THE TOUCH WITH THE COOLTUBE....BUT NO ONE HEARS ME

i'm listening, issack!!

for a cooltube to work, one must run flex tubing to & from the cooltube, no?

if no exhaust options exist, then what?

vent back into the grow? no that won't work either...

i'd love to run cooltubes, but i dont have a suitable exhaust option.

good thread!

 

[issack]

NO SLEEP ..YOU EXAUST THE TUBE.....PULL AIR FROM THE OUTSIDE AND BLOW IT BACK OUTSIDE....I WAS MEANING EXAUSTING YOUR ROOM AIR ALL THE TIME TO MAKE UP FOR THE MASSIVE HEAT THAT THE 1000 BRINGS ...WITH THE COOLTUBE YOUR HEAT PROBLEMS ARE A BREEZE....

 

[issack]

HEY SUNNY...I USED TO THINK THE SAME THING BUT AFTER FEELING HOW COOL THE 1000 RUNS ......THINK ABOUT THIS...YOU PUT A 1000W AS CLOSE AS YOU CAN A 600....UR LIGHT RUNS COOL AND YOU GET WAY MORE LUMENS...AM I RIGHT?

 

[sunnyside]

I love cooltubes I have been using them for a while same ones you have issak. They work wonders i can have buds go 6 inches away without burning the plants. Here is a pic of 3 1000 Hps in cooltubes. This room has had no heat problems and there was a 430 hps uncooled in the same room. I may soon start vegging uder the 3k hps as i am about to move and i cant flower anymore. Peace
