Indoor Need help with lighting decision!?!?!?!

[saneiegocali92]

Good evening everyone,
I need help with lighting my 10x10 flower tent. As of right now there are 4 SCROGs going, one in each quadrant. So we need to make sure each SCROG is covered well so we can get some BIG o'l Nuggets Each SCROG is 4x4. What are some suggestions? Ive been thinking its best to run 4x 600 Watt HPS w/ Air Cooled reflectors. The other thought was to run 4x Mars 1600s, one for each SCROG. Could really use some help on this one everyone! I cant make up my mind and its driving me crazy lol Trying to keep it under $500 per light. Heat during the summer will be an issue with choosing to run 4x 600 HPS, I guess thats why I am leaning towards the 4 Mars 1600s. LMK what ya'll think!!!!

Dankkssss

If it was me I would do 4, 600W HPS air cooled and magnetic ballast for reliability. I would not run the HPS with out an air conditioner though. Honestly though I think if you can power them that 4 1,000W HPS would be better in that space as I think it is a little large for 600s.

The tent won't need to be completely covered with even light. Just each 4x4 area. Running 4x 1000 I'm afraid would run to hot. Any recommendations on AC units?

Have you considered 4 LEC 315 metal halide? At 3100k bulbs they are full spectrum. And very cool and efficient. If you haven't looked into these, I'd recommend it.

Try two of each.
