In that tiny space the only way you can run 1000w is water cooled. It's way overkill. A 1000w HPS is appropriate for a 4x4 - 5x5 space.
For a 2x2 you should consider a 250 or a 400, both with air cooling. Or CFLs.
Or a bigger space! :D
Peace, man! Your light for the 12 sq feet is just fine! I'm using 2x600 w HPS gavitas which is 86 000 lumies each for the 2'depth x 3width x 5'heightcloset. The only thing is to maintain ambient temperature, which is not a problem with powerfull fan. The more light per area you use the higher bud/stalk&leaf ratio, which is one of your aims. I bet you will receive high bud output ! just go for it, bring more love peace and happiness to this world!Quote:

Crap! The light emits over 100000 lumens. I think my space is gonna be too small....
PAR wattage is just about right for 2 by 6 feet sq garden. Walls lined with foil and 300cfm fan and ventilation holes at level with stems of cannabis will give you tremendous rezults!
Were you just thinking about getting a 1000W? :jointsmile:Quote:

I have to admit, water cooled lighting would be pretty awesome!Quote:

I own the light, its just in use right now for a grow with much more space... Finishing a few Bubbleberry, Hindu Kush, and Shiva Skunk.
I'm going to give this space a try, but if I see a 3' deep cabinet, i'm buying it... I'm going to sacrifice 1 clone to see if it can survive a couple days of veg in the thin closet.
Anyone have any creative venting solutions? I have 1 turbo inline exhaust, but I think I may need more sophisticated airation/cooling ideas.
