A 1kw will cover the same footprint as 4x250w though, and would offer more light. There is a good reason that people opt for 1kw lights not multiple smaller ones.

yea the reason is penetration i see were ice is comming from but the pen on a 250 has to be what a foot, going on a 600w only being any good for up to 3ft downwards from the bulb (a foot of this is always air space)....

and i am a man who like his penetration ...

if u get a 1000 get an xl hood which has a 25 sq ft print, thou s are good for that pro bud look, 2 x 600 would also be monster and would prob yield u more no doubt......but then u would always wonder about the 1000 and still want one ...no...?

They are all rolled up on his floor atm, had a quick look round them n didnt see any major rips/tears or anything, 1x1m tent he reckons has been used for clones for 1 week from new then packed away again, 6x4 tent he reckons he has used for just under a year but that looks brand new almost as well
The 6x4 tent i think is a budbox( black with green piping/edging), the 1x1 is black with yellow piping.

coolhood is missing the glass but he reckons when he used it there was no temp difference with or without the glass as the vents in the hood are so efficient at drawing away the hot air, looks a tad bit battered but works ok n not dangerous or anything, got a pic of this if you want me to email it to you

1 of the 600s is mag ballast, the other digi, 1 of em is Mh/HPS switchable but cant remember which off the top of my head

have got a pic of the 400w HPS ballast as well

there are also various digi timers/water pump or heater( cant remember which he said), plant pots (round and square)
 
Aye I've always used a 600 and yielded pretty well never hit the g per watt but ain't been far off now I'm using 1200 in the same space hope I can double up that'd be nice
 
@lemon, theese are the only pics that didnt come out blurry, if you wanna go look at the stuff it can be arranged but you would need to get down my way

That as well. Otherwise we'd all just have a billion cfls hanging from the ceiling. But to me I'm just not convinced the apparent increase in coverage outweighs the 1000w's far far superior lumen per watt figure. It would require a 5 250w hps' to match the lumens of a 1000w not taking the penetration into account..
 
All this talk about penetration is making me uneasy lmao ....

bunch of faggots .....

Pmsl..... lemon ive heard the best way to grow is with a candle in a mason jar ... pisses over a 1000w anyday ;)
 
Not bad mate apart from falling out with a stupid jobsworth over in Bradford today .... but thats another story ..... got some of your romulan roses ready to pop here mate....

by the way have you seen highlander about lately?
 
Just to be safe, i'd recommend doing only a few and 12/12 from seed. Before i had to pack it in i threw 20-30 of the cheese rose into flower and a large number hermied almost from go. I'm more interested in the dreamtime cheese :)

I don't venture into grow logs, but certainly haven't seen him in passing.
 
Just started browsing LED systems while watching bear grylls the island thing.

Seems I can get a bit for 4-500. Dont have a clue on spectrums or even if LED is all that. So much reading to do. Any of you lot run LED?
