How do you like your 600 watt? I went with one to I believe I will skip growing 4-5 months out of year it's hot as hell here in deep south and the humidity. I vegged with my mh and boy they stacked close for me your stuff looks great!

Thanks a lot. I like the 600 but like you said it's hot here even with a 13000 btu ac. I originally planned on two 600w but it got way too hot so I crammed them all under one haha hope it's enough. It's a dimmable ballast thou do I can turn it up to 1000. Actually have two of them so hopefully next run I'll be able to use them both

just curious what the mylar is for? It looks like the room is painted white so that would work, just curious. Also how tall are the walls of the mylar enclosure?

I told him to get a nice tent to control the environment better

Haha not really sure what the Mylar is for. I painted the walls white and then added the 4' of Mylar. It's actually aluminum foil lol.

Ok I see it now, a bit of advice. Take the foil down as it will create hotspots like a mirror. Flat white paint is 96% reflective and Mylar is 98% or somethin so you don't loose much reflectivity and you don't have to worry about putting that stuff up lol. I personally don't like growing in tents I like growing in rooms, but that is mainly cause I grow trees lol. The setup looks choice though, I am subbed up for this one.

A question, have you run your lights in that room to see what the temps are?

I did run both turned to 1k watts each and it seemed to be to much for my ac. The room temp reached mid 90's but the plants when I laser pointed them they were never above 80. I think I'm going to leds for my next run. Have 18 ripley ogs from mephesto. This run was all freebies and I wanted to get my feet wet before I do the big run. Thanks for the advice. I'll take down the foil for the next run. Do you use leds?

Nope I run 2 thousand watters, or I did on my last grow anyway, it is in my sig.

U have the air cooled hoods ? And you think 2 thousand watters can do a 9x4 area. My room is huge but I only use half of it.

Yeah bro that is what my area was and it was almost too much light lol, did you check out my grow in my sig? Almost 5 lbs off 6 plants with 2 1kers
