:question: so what i got for yall is kinda open ended..
first off i have a 600w ballast.. for HPS lights. one hell of a heat problem. and a smell one too. (goal of stealth grow when i am done)
so i am thinking about redesigning the grow environment..
what i have to know is
first: can i run MORE than one bulb off one ballast? even if both bulbs are under the total wattage?
second: what do i want to look for in a bulb? (i am gonna supplement with a pair of 42w 6500k CFLs for blue spec light) such as color temp and size thoughts.. i am thinking about a 250w or maybe 2x 150w or something like that..
third: what kind of heat can i expect in an ~ 2 ft x 3 ft area ~ 4 ft tall..
fourth: anything else yall can think of that i need to know..
