Is a 2 ft. Deep closet too narrow for 1000w?

[GaGrown]

Ventilation is the most important!Without ventilation there can be no light.Were talkin' HID,now.......

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!

The space is 6 feet wide, 2 feet deep and 6 feet tall. The narrowness seems to be the biggest constraint.
I have an inline turbo exhaust for the air cooled 1000W. Should I assist with and additional intake fan or another exhaust?

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!

Seems like the best way is to just try it out on a dry run first. If its too small, I'll just buy a cabinet.

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:

It'll be tough to keep the temps down in such a small area, unless you make a whole bunch of modifications for airflow. You'd be better off going with a 600 or smaller, if you're bound & determined to go the route of an HID. Keep it air-cooled and exhausted, regardless of what size lamp you go with.

In that tiny space the only way you can run 1000w is water cooled.

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

:question:

I'm sorry, I have no idea what you're asking me right here.

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.
