Even with my 2 X 800w panels, it took me some time to dial in the temp in the tent, they do get very hot (the ambient temp, not actual fixture) had to get an A\C and put it inside, also 2 large fans, and the summer here is brutal, so keeping it under 28c even with LEDs at this power is an electrical challange... not in terms of how to manage the heat, but to try and save money while doing it.
i always wondered why dont they come with fans above their heat sinks ? like CPUs... maybe they fear that heat will go to the plants, but maybe for some folks in cooler regions it can be a plus
To be honest, i had a GH Cheese strain i grew under HPS 400w, and i stuck that bulb to his ass lol and temp was high, very high 32-34c
But it came out to be killer smoke, very potent terpy old ams cheese funk, the tops were a little roasted so even when heat destroy your trichomes very fast, it can sometimes make it better (some strains), not all truth is 100% accurate, there is exceptions in everything in life i think.
