How big is your closet? I have done 1800 in a 4 x 9 foot space but that was in my basement where it stayed cool and it had great ventilation and a AC vent, now Im doing 1600 in my attic in a 4 x 9 foot space but I think it would get to hot up there if I had 3 lights instead of 2. I Also have an AC vent going to that room. If it's smaller than 3 x 6 than I would say it's to excessive and if you don't have great ventilation and/or an AC vent in there it's going to get to hot. Your gpw will go down but if it stays cool enough your overall yield will go up. So take that all into consideration.

So i figure it couldnt hurt... except for my wallet :-? 1200 watts.... 10 sq foot closet.. I will be alternating between 800 and 1200 watts every day... 1200 watts requires me to run 3 fans.. Any guesses on my electric bill?

Its def. refecting against the walls and cuts WAY deeper into the canopy.. I was going to set it up lower, I just set it up like that temporarily because I set it up right before lights went off and didnt want to re-adjust my other 2 lights and all the fans last night.. Ill take another pic today after I do, I just dont want it to get too hot in their..

and dude, there is SOOOO much light in their its ridiculous... Ive seen pics of ppl growing beautiful plants with 1000 watt hps 4 feet above the plants.. I will def. point it downward though. It litterally lights up my entire room with the closet doors just cracked open..:fire: thanks for the advice guys.

ya dude, I want to do it like that but it will be too close to the canopy, my first concern is heat stress... :wall: thank though, those plants look gorgous :bigjoint:
