Club 600

This is my fave for two reasons:
1. This is in my area (homie representing)
2. Homie raised the bar to federal charges if caught.

Do 600w DE HPS bulbs put out more heat than a 'regular' 600w HPS bulb?

Yes.
I'm running a nanolux 1000w de and am unable to keep a 6'X10' room cool with a 12,500 btu a/c ....never had a problem with single end set ups.
I'm in the southeast where the low temps have been in the 70's for over 2 months....waiting for cooler weather .

Thanks for the info.

I started with CFLs, when they were too hot I went to LEDs. I just bought my first 600w HPS to finish one of my outdoor summer plants in my garage. I've learned a lot about heat management since my first run with CFLs, and I was thinking about trying the 600 in a tent this winter (its got a cool tube hood). Then I started researching HPS more, found the DE's, got curious. I'm small time and low budget though, growing for a single patient. Don't need the best or the brightest, a standard 600 will do fine. My line in the sand is that if I need to run an AC in the winter, then something is wrong with this picture.

3 days to go in the competition people!!!!! 3 days. At the moment there's only 3 entries to choose from, lol.

That's a darn shame I say.

Another newbie question for you good people: Does running an HPS bulb dimmed for long periods impact its useable life-span? I'm assuming that it would produce proportionally less heat.

I've been reading that mixing COBs and HPS can produce better quality bud than either alone. To do that, I'd have to dim the 600w down to about 300w, and then run some COBs around the edges.

I would just run the 600 at full power.

LMAO nah a bull would not let someone breathe on nuts like that ah ha ha though I can picture someone trying

Seems a bit weird based on the number of sticker requests we had and posted. But there is still 3 days to go.

Thanks... I should have mentioned that the tent might be a small 2'x4'... 300w of HPS and 100w of COB's (x2) at the far sides would be 500w total, or 62.5w/sf. I've found there is such a thing as too much light, and that might be too much for the space -- but most of my light calculations have come from the LED/COB side, so I don't know much about what's too much with HPS. I imagine I'd have to play around with light height/distance and see what happened.

You seen those bulls in Belgium. Blues or something like that....holy shot they are beasts.
