Perhaps 2 x dr120s with a 1000w each would be the way to go. Think most run 600s in them but they are a perfect size for a 1000w. I would agree with mrt, no point in putting a 1000w in a xxl tent 2.4 x 1.2 unless on a light mover as the coverage wouldnt be great, far better off using 2 or even 3 600s in them for max coverage. Morning all, cuppa tea then im off down the greasy spoon for some breckie, hank marvin.

i totally agree with that. i got 2x600w lights in a 2.4x1.2 and i get crap coverage. i was thinking of upgrading to 2x1000w or 3x600w but i'd need to have them in air cooled then. temps are ok in flower but i find them quite high in the first week or so of veg.

You ave the same tent as me mrt, i use 3 600s mate air cooled with 6" extraction and intake, my lights have there own 6" extraction as well. Im not really a fan of tents tbh, cant say ive found the perfect one lol. In a perfect setup i'd much rather use an open room setup but you gotta go with what works for you and the space you ave available. Ill loose the tents soon i think, im adding more wattage and using large nft trays so tents are not the best option. For the xxl tents 2.4 x 1.2, 3 600w is probably the best way to go.

No mate, budbox xxl i think its called. Ive used dr120s secret jardins as well. Didnt know you could get them with metal corners, bit of extra strength has to be a good thing.

I've just hag a google at that, those corners look better than the standard shitty black ones.

If it's up for sale at a nice price when you ditch it I may well buy it off you.

Mate dont think you would want it, ive had too cut an inlet hole in the lower side as there are none. Apart from that tho its fine, if you want it you can have for nowt when im done as i aint gonna be able to flog it with a diy 6" hole in the side lol. I was just gonna chuck the thing, it'll be no good to me when i swap systems and such.

No inlet holes!? Lol, that's thrown me now.

It's obviously not the one I thought, you might have to take a photo of it sometime so I can understand.

For nowt I'm sure I can make use of it though, cheers mate.

Inlet holes are in funny place mate, on top of the tent. Wasnt the best place to put them in my book, at the time cutting a 6" hole in the side seemed like a good idea although probably wasnt the smartest move. If you have it just gaffer tape it over and job done, might as well make use of it mate as i wont use it again, i cant keep the fucker if im not using it.

I ran up to a woman in the park.

"I'm looking for a little boy," I said, "eight years old, blonde hair, looks a bit like a little Justin Bieber?"

"Oh god," she gasped "I'm sorry. There's just me and my son here. He's only six."

"OK, no problem" I said, "he'll do."
