There was a thread on here a week or so ago; guy had almost the same setup and problems which you might face. By the time the air in the ducting from the first 2 lights reached the 3rd and 4th, it was quite hot and did not dissipate heat very well. I believe the solution was to either use insulated ducting or use 1 fan for two hoods and another for the other hoods.

you know wat i think your right. I still keep my temp at 76 but I have to run my ac. with 2 lights its perfect but I had 6
1,000s and they were all 6 inch so I just thru 4 in one and two in the other. as soon as I quit blowing my money like a idiot on poker and food and jordans i will upgrade

yea , 1 fan for 2 hoods is great , ive got 3 hoods using one fan temps are acceptable @81F but the last bulb is the hottest . Hey sticky ive seen that pic before . it helped me decide my fall grow when the temps cool down . i like the corner idea . after buying cool tubes this year i realized i dont like them . id rather a air cooled hood, directs the light more downward . i will be buying 8 inch hoods soon and selling my cool tubes . 6inch is ok for me but 8 is gonne be better. happy growing i love this stuff

yeah that corner table does the best cause its got 2 light hiting on both sides. 8 inch would be nice alot more air would pull out. good luck with that

I might just sell all 4 of my lights for 800 and upgrade to the 8 inch. I run 4 1,000s from 9pm to 9am and in the other room I run 2 more 1,000s from 901 am to 859 pm. lol my house wont hold all the watts so thats how I have to do it and i dont want to run lines. also I have a room vegging with 3 400s
