1000k

what is the closest you put your 1000k to the plants I got mine about 8 inches right now and things look good

about a foot away be careful cause if they end up growing a couple inches over night thy are gonna get scorched.better safe than sorry

8 is good, but just keep an eye on things, because some strains are finicky with the lumens and can go white on the top koalas do to chlorophyll bleaching.

picture please..

are you using fans?

cheers

4 inches is the how far away my 1000 watt hps is now

I keep mine a solid 3 feet from the canopy. I'm not using a cool tube or anything, and need it to light a 5x6 or so area.

4 Inches!!!! How is that possible?? What air cooling hood are you using? Pictures please so I can believe you...And dont go dropping it down to 4 inches just for the photo!!! hehehe:D

thats insane! i have two air cooled 1000w'ers and i keep mine at 18" from canopy 12" closest. you must be runing air conditioning through your lights or something..lol

a thousand watts sounds @ 8 inches is pretty hardcore, you must have some serious cooling system to compensate for that...i'd like to see a pic of that also :)

i know that set-up would fry my plants, and im only using a 400watt open air jobbie

Great imput thanks I have them in a cold dungeon of my house I also have a 24 inch fan blowing at the edge of the table
I can hold my hand on top of the plants comfortablely sorry no pics
