Update on my 630w cmh. FIRE!
I'm kidding. I love this thing as always. But, I have noticed there's a hell of a hot spot in the middle 4 square feet of my 5x5 tent. I have the standard 315 hood with the dual bulb setup. I'm thinking of cutting along the seems of the aluminum hood (drastic?) To open up the footprint a bit. Think itll help with hot spot as well. The coverage on the floor looked pretty good at 4x4 without the tent. But having to keep the light a minimum of 28 inches from plants is about to cause ceiling issues. Its pulled to the ceiling at almost 7ft and I'm only a week into 12/12 flip. Got 3ft between light and canopy but they havent taken off into stretch.
So what do you think of cutting the seems on the hood to open the footprint and allowing me to put light a bit closer?
