Well I just harvested for the first time and was not very satisfied with the results. I have a closet that is roughly 6' x 8' grew 12 plants under 1000w and got about and ounce to two a plant. I believe I should've done way better. I felt that a huge problem I was having was that I could not control the temperatures correctly. Well I have now scrapped that grow room and am starting another one. I am going to run two 600w HPS off of my 1000w lumatek ballast. I am also going to get a mini split AC and run that two maintain the temp at 80 degrees during lights on and 72 during lights off. I am going to regulate the C02 to maintain at 1500 ppm. I am still deciding if I should go hydro or soil. I am not planning on venting the lights at all. I really don't know how that is going to work but I am open for suggestions from some of you veterans out there.

first off you need way more light, like 4 600w hps. vent the lights seperately from the room keeping it sealed will be too much for your a/c to handle it without cooled lights. i would definitely suggest hydro flood and drain in grow rocks for this scale room. with proper feeding and techniques, and most of all GENETICS, such a room would rock! pics will be great

That is pretty much what i said in todays post about a guy putting a 1000 watt bulb in a 600 ballast ,....i asked cause my dual 600 is not adjustable but my single is adjustable from 250-600 watt dimmer with the turn of a button and i wanted to know if they made a 1000 watter like that ...i agree with you if he is monkey fucking like that FIRE FIRE FIRE!!!!!!!

yea thats what my 600 is but it runs on 220 electric
I was told that with the 1000w ballast you could put a splitter on the ballast and run two 600w lights if you but the ballast dial on super lumens it will power both lights. That is what I was told from many people. If that is not the case then I will just buy another ballast and light.

i dont know who this post is to but i own a dual ballast (one balast with 2 bulbs) the orininal poster is talking about putting 2 600 watt bulbs in a 1000 watt balast....he said something about a splitter on a 1000 watter and running 2 600 bulbs.... i dont see this happening ...i just wanna make sure your post isnt to me when he's the one trying to do the monkey fuck ....all im doing is trying to figure out what he's doing .....i just wanted to clear that up if there was any confusion......
