Do you pull the heat away from your hood? <<<<<<(LIGHT)
Or do you push air through your hood over your light? >>>>(LIGHT)>>>>

Maybe but the air isnt that hot if your moving it enough. I only have a 600 but and pull 150cfm usually.i would think it would be better to push, so you fan dose not have all the hot air going through it.
Filter light fan exit... always.Do you pull the heat away from your hood? <<<<<<(LIGHT)

Always liked the idea of heating the house in winter with hps.I run 4 hoods (1000 watt each)
I use 2 fans that our identical.
both of them are fastened to the wall where they exit/enter the grow room, and they are hooked to a register upstairs. And that’s how I heat my house all winter.
However if I only had one hood, I would push the air through the hood. And I have ran it this way myself. It has nothing to do with the fans efficiency, but more to do with smell. I’ve had several hoods and 75% don’t completely seal. If your pulling air you can pull smell thru the hood, and that can be an issue. If it isn’t an issue, then I would try both ways, and data log each one. And then you tell us (community) what your findings are. Hell if you do a killer job it might even get a sticky from a mod or something
Yes! It is a game changer. My electric bill is about 300 a month from October to May. But June, July, Aug, Sept, it’s been to hot to grow. Just picked up a mini-split, so I’m gonna grow thru the summer, but I’m slightly scared what my electric bill may look like.Always liked the idea of heating the house in winter with hps.
Should still be cheaper than buying weed lolbut I’m slightly scared what my electric bill may look like.
