Hi what do use think of this idea
At the moment im running x9 600watt mini grostars, but this time im getting rid of the grostars for adjusta wings, grostars take up too much height etc
So im thinking while im re doing things instead of x9 600watt lights why not go for x6 1000watt lights, and get the large adjusta wings instead of the smaller ones.
The room is 4mx4m so 16m2. But the actual growing area is about 3.5mx3.5m so about 12m2.
The large 1000watt adjusta wing reflectors will more than cover this area, im planning on seting them up in 2 rows of 3 lights so
X-X-X
X-X-X
X=LIGHTS
- =SPACE BETWEEN LIGHTS
Im gaining 600watts if i go with the 1000's over the 600's. If i run the 1000's the bulbs will be more spread out than the 600's you know because of less lights etc than the 600's, so would this make it easier to cool the room, or would the heat of the 1000's be more intense.
Not that i have any problems cooling my room, just wondering if the 6 1000's will make the room alot hotter than the 9 600's. What do use think?
Pro for 600's:
Can just switch over my reflectors, no messing with wires or upgrading to 1000watt ballast. Dont have to make new light rails
Pro's for 1000's:
More intense light, will yield more overall. Any more?
It would be easier to just switch the reflectors and stick with the 600's but if theres any other benefits to switching over to 1000's that will benefit me im prepared to do the work, what do use think?
Which do use think will get a better light coverage over the canopy with the adjusta wings in my space and size, the 9 evenly spaced 600's or more intense 6 1000's. Yield wise?
