In a 2,4 x 1.4 tent should I run 3x600w hps set to 400w 600w 600w
Or
Should I run 1x 1000w and a 600w??

Was planning on putting 2 plants in every so often to always have something to smoke slowly moving up the chain past all lightsDepends what will work best for you.
How many plants are you vegging at a time?
How many plants are you flowering at one time.
Teens/Veg light + flower Light.
What would benefit you more. Another light for a different stage of the plants life, or more wattage in the flower room?
Another light to start a second crop in the flowering room mid harvest?
A 3rd light for a mother plant/clones?
So many ways to go about it.
Any recommendations on a hood? Air cooled or is that just for the looks?
I'm not sure I understand your question. In 1 tent if that's meters then it = 7.5 ft tall and 4.5ft square. I use a 1000 w hps in a 5x5 ft square room for flowering with only 5 ft under the light. 3 - 600 w's would be over kill and it would put out too much heat to deal with. I now veg under t8 &t5 florescent's but I'd love to have my old 400 w hps for vegging under again. I liked the heat it put out and the coverage was better.In a 2,4 x 1.4 tent should I run 3x600w hps set to 400w 600w 600w

Yeah meters it’s basically 2.4 meters long nd 1.2 meters in depth and 1.8 tall not that big basically 4x8 in American termsIs that Meters, or feet? I assume meters?
I’ll go 1of them nd a 600 for early stage flower
Id go through the whole route with 2 x 1000w
600w aint enough for a 4 x 4. 1000w Hortilux is made specifically for a 4 x 4. If ya got 2 x 4 x4 which equals 4 x 8 or 32sq/ft you need 2000w/HID for the space.
I start seedlings-flowering under 1000w Hortilux and have used 1000w HID for 40 years. Since 1978 which I used Halide then, as none of the HPS were Blue enhanced.
But I was ging to do what you suggest, Id give them 1000w First, and then finish with 600w.
You aren't thinking of using a 600w for the whole 4 x 8??? Useless for that.
i have a sun system de hood over 1.1 plants atm , the hood puts off mostly reflective light and the bulb doesnt get as hot as you would expect. it has been working well i have 77-81 f and 45 rh. the hood works well while not affecting the way the bulb operates. When you directly cool a bulb it may affect the bulb/light.This hood cools the area behind the internal reflector so it wont affect the bulb. this hood has no hot spots. i currently have a 1k hortilux hps de bulb over 1 plant pushed to super lumens with that hood. good luck man. hopefully you get it figured out.Any recommendations on a hood?
