Your hood choice should revolve around the distance from the top of the canopy to your glass. The magnum and raptor light the walls really well. So unless the glass is pretty close to your canopy, you should avoid the big reflectors. They throw so much light to the side. Reflectors that are more focused deliver more intense light values in a smaller footprint. That is what I want personally.
If you can get 12-18 inches between canopy and glass I would look at blockbusters. Great balance of spread and intensity.

Yeah with the Fluoresces you'll get a better color output than with the HID lights, I've got no experience with indoor growing but this is from what I've observed and read.

I've been a bit pre occupied with the harvest and setting up the new co2 system. Can't wait to see the dfferance it makes.

Then a 6" vortex fan it is with a 6"x24" phresh carbon scruber.

Ill order everything up tomorrow and post a pic of everything when finished.
