The plan sounds good, B S. I love the idea of the dimmable ballast on the 1000Wers! If the area is 5' in diameter, is 2400 to 3000W needed? Perhaps you have already hashed it out & know it's gonna be fine, but that is a lot of horsepower for the space!
i didnt realize u were doin a vert octogon setup when we talked last. i mite have to lean towards teh 600ws for the multiple hot spots and more even spread of the lumens. its 600w less yes but like u mentioned; vert lighting is always a higher gpw (if done correctly)
did u ever follow jigfreshs setup over at RIU? if not u should check it. he ran 600w and 1000w in his closet DIY vert setup. he actually did a vertical scrog too. pretty sick. ill throw in a link if u want.
anyways im subbin for now to help get u rollin with watever i can contribute.
oh and the 600ws will run way cooler IMO. especially air cooled; i can touch mine and hold it forever (on a horizontal hood fyi)

i would be interested in those links! i am looking into vertical gardening
im all for the 1000ws. i just dont know about any heat issues but with good cooling i think ur legit bro go for it. id rather have the increase in lumens as well. i just dont wanna lead u in the wrong direction
A 1/2HP chiller w/ IceBoxes is not going to offset the lighting.
1/3HP PER 1k minimum.
elect is not easy. the people who think so have the experience. i have sum and i dont even feel comfortable ever telling sumone how to wire shit cuz i dont want to be responsible for sumones death.
but idk wat a fair price is honestly. this recession has prices dropped for anyone still in biz tryin to stay afloat im sure u can find sumone.
just say u didnt understand theres a diff between 240/120v and ud like it switched to 240v instead. shouldnt be too much. if u decide to do a subpanel like mine then thats a diff story. ill post pix in my journal
The outlet actually says "KEG" next to it because I told the first electrician that I needed the two circuits for a kegerator and AC, so I'm just gonna tell the dude that the kegerator runs on 240V and not 120V.
Just not sure if it's worth it to move all the shit outta there and halt construction for a couple days (realistically) for that wiring change.
