man thats damn nice. It gives me hope to see that someone is able to use a 1000 watt system in such a small area. I too have a 1000 watt system but it doe snot even have ahood, just a lame cone reflector. Do you have air conditioning in that place?
a/c stays at 70F, my biggest problem is temp and humidity, i found that with the 460cfm fan and plenty of ventilation outside the hut temps wont be such an issue on the inside, on the other hand my 40gal res keeps plenty humidity in the hut so i have a pretty heavy duty dehumidifier outside the hut, im depleting 5gals every 2 days from my res, one day my fan didnt come on due to a misscalculated timer, temps hit the 90's and it was as muggy in there as a sauna, let alone the glass on the hood you could have fried an egg, i couldnt imagine trien to deal with a 1000 watt light without a cooltube
1000 watts aren't so bad when you have them in an open or big growroom...the airiness of the room helps to disippate the heat, but dehumidifier is the way to go and pumping in fresh cool air from 2nd source via intake/exhaust system helps too! Good Luck
hey I run a hydro-hut with two 400watt hps lamps without a any cooltube set up. What I do have is a dayton 400cfm exhaust fan and a six inch inline duct fan as a intake fan helping big in more cool air from the outside. And my temps stay at around 77 to 82 degrees.:rasta: :pimp:
hell yea thats badass
better fork some fat colas with that setup
only thing that catches my eye is 15 plants seed to bud is quite a bit for a 1000watt most i've seen grown under that light all the way is 12
but keep posting pics and stay up
Thats one hell of a clean grow, gotta give you a hand, how much was your fan?
How big of an area are you talking about? Because i sure would like to use my 1000 watter.Quote:

L3G10N: i wouldnt recomend a room any bigger than 25 square ft for your 1000 watter, that is if you want those premo "high times quality" buds
I think you are packing them in too tight, but I did it before and found out for myself awhile back...best way to learn.
latip: circulation at the stem base suffers greatly when they are packed too tight and this can cause a few problems. peace
L3gion...8'x8' or better. I have 8x14/ 2 agrosun gold 1000w and 8x8/ 1 1000w horti on mover.
I cut holes in wall and trimmed out for 5-7500 btu window units in each room. I have my best success using about 2/3rds of room and leasving plastic panda walls dangling. does that make sense to you.
sorry connisseur. I love the huts and you have a nice neat set-up.
If I had one of those. I would only grow 4 plants Max in there. Of course if you have 2...you can propagate/veg in one and flower 4 in the other. good luck
