Wutz up everyone, I am waitin for a SUN HUT XL 4ft x 4 ft, with silver interior. Gonna make it my flowering room.
My concern is if I should get a 600w or a 1000w, and I was thinkin of gettin a BIG Air-cooled hood, but now I'm thinkin more of a Cool Tube, anybody have any comments on that ? Is my thinkin good or bad ??? Am I better of with the 1000w than the 600w ?? Right now I have 2x 250w HPS.
For now I need it for 5 plants, maybe 6.
If strain make a difference, check out my journal to see strains.

Thanks
Peace n' stay Balzzed
 
If you are gonna get 1 light i would think the 1000 watt would do better than a 600.But a 600 watt is a good light i would get 2 600s compared to 1 1000.only 200 extra watts

I would go with a single 600w HPS. I currently have a 400w in the same size tent and plan on
moving up to a 600w.
Two 600w would be two sources of heat, and even hotter than a single 1000w, which would give
you more intense light than the 600 anyway.
 
I said i would get 2 600s instead of 1 1000 i didnt tell him to get it.I was implying that 2 600 only run 200 watts more than a 1000.But for that size tent a 1000 would be perfect.The 600 is said to be the best light watt for watt but those 150,000 lumens from a 1000 compared to 95,000 from the 600 is a big difference.

no need for a 1000 in there get the 600 and run a cool tube you will be fine 1000w should be in a 6x6 room for maximum production
