If you insist on running a k, an air-cooled hood is MANDATORY and you will want to look into a 6" high-output-type exhuast fan and very likely will need to add an active intake to that tent. The passive flap intakes are fine for the intended heat load in there, but a k throws lots.
If so, that's only 35 watts per square food, aren't you suppose to get 50+ for great buds? I am most definitely getting a digi ballast no matter what however. If I get the 600watt with 4'' fan will I only need the passive intake? A 600watt bulb produces 95,000 lumens, that with the digi ballast will produce as minimum it states 20% more lumens, which equals 115, 000 lumens so 35,000 lumens less than a regular 1000k lamp, so it's not too far off. What do you think? And thanks for answering so quickly! I know you think I'm a jerk from that thread but I want to come here for some good chat with fellow growers, so hopefully you can forgive me.
DurbanStone Reviewed by DurbanStone on . Will this exhaust 1000 watt HPS? Well, this site seems to be overrun with underage smokers rather than of age growers, and there doesn't seem to be enough traffic in the grow forums, so I'm attempting at asking my questions seperatly.
