Hi guys,
thanks for all the advice, much appreciated. I did think the 600w would cook the plants tbh as I have used one before. Ive decided to buy a cool tube: http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=230861665914&index=9&nav=SEARCH&nid=60715451760
Im planning on rigging the ballast to the reflector above and running the 600w through it with the extraction system which means I can control the temps easier and also have the light closer to my plants as there will be more lumens. Im thinking about doing 4 or 6 to be honest
As i then have the spare euro reflector im going to give it to my brother with both of my veg and budding 300w cfl's as a extra crimbo suprise :]
Im currently doing 7 bubble gum autos under the cfl's and they have18 days left, i have a load of photos for you guys in my phone. I will upload them at some point with a smoke report :]

problem is the temps with the cool tube will be fine but 600w will be overkill and effiency wise all that energy will be wasted
electrcity wise it will cost alot of extra money wasted as 600g on 4 autos wont happen
id buy the 1.2m tent for the extra =£20 and run 9 autos if your heart is set on the 600w and you may not need the cooltube
you need the extra head room for the 600w

Would a 400w be good enough for 6 autos in that tent? And if I used a 400w would I need the cool tube?
I dont really have the room for a 1.2m tent without re-arranging the bedroom lmao.

400w is more than enough if anything slightly to much lol
the cooltube would depend on the ambient temp so summer will be the real test
400w will do as much as you can fit in that tent problem is spacing I like a square equal spacing so odd numbers may require some training
so 2x2 3x3 4x4 rows is normally what i recommend I do mean to write a lighting guide but just dont have time

Yer, im gonna get a 3x3x6 tent and get a 600w hps and that cool tube off ebay, the cooltube with the extended reflector is massive. Might aswell do 9 autos since i have the space, plus it means i can use bigger pots
Im just gonna re arrange the room which is not a big deal, if im using a tent that big, i might aswell scrap the cooltube, or do you think id be better off with the cool tube?

buy the tent without it and if you need it you can always buy one
a 400w would still be 44 wpsf which would be nice in that tent but atleast it brings the 600w into a safer range than before
ive just bought an adjusta i like it
