1 air cooled right now, in 3 hours it will be 2 1000 watts, 1 air cooled, 1 not, pretty sure if i kick them both on high i will still stay within range, if not i reduct a little bit and i am sure i will....

@true. No, I meant is having a cap, as you said, different than an active air? Do you mean capacitor? I am somewhat familiar with the fan as my buddy has one and he just runs the ducting right over the lip on the fan and clamps it on. Shit you could run 5-6 lights of that 8" if it maintains any pressure. It's really all about the shape and size of your run. Straight line runs can handle more lights than curvy runs. Use as much straight rigid ducting as you can, to avoid flex ducting, as flex really slows the airflow. I run 3k on a single 6" ostberg. Fan to first raptor hood, 3'; hood 1,2,3, 12" apart; last hood to outlet 5. I'm obviously new to posting here. Is there some ettiquette to showing appreciation for receiving rep? Thanks freedom fighters!!!!

I am honestly not positive it does have a cap as i have not (knock on wood) had to tear one down yet, but looking in there is something that looks out of place on a fan and i suspect it to be a cap, but like i said have not actually torn into one.
I am sure i could get better cooling out of them with straighter runs, but with a 7x7 room, no floor space for the filter, and only one air cooled hood at the moment, it is not as perfect as it could be, but only 2 90 degree turns, otherwise dead straight. At this point i am just exhausting and intaking from the same area the grow is in, but if things get to hot, i will add the 400 sq ft basement into it, dropping intake temp. Thanks for the tips, i wish i could have the many lights, one day i may switch to 4 600s instead of the 2 1000's, but i have specific hoods that i want, and the are expensive.

Use the coupon code save20 or 20gift and take an additional 20% off of it, bringing it to 59.99. plus they have 6.99 shipping right now, so one of these out the door is gonna be about 70 bucks, give or take a little for sales tax.

HTG GrowBright 16" wall mount fans are total garbage blew through 10 of them couldn't even make it through one crop! All plastic garbage gears in there so I retract my previous recommendation to get these fans.

Thanks Swisscheese. I've never tried them, but I run ecoplus wall mounts and I like them so far, 2 years steady use. I added an extra recently. Got a active air or whatever and it was shit, returned it, got a sunleaves, total shit, returned it and ordered an ecoplus online. When you find a winner, stick with it. HTG grow tent prices are great and their quality hasn't disappointed me. I use the mother keeper tents for moms and babys. Their new 7 band 240w led is really nice for $265.00. Thanks for the coupon code too!

There is a formula to figure out how much air you need to move depending on your space size.... when you figure that out then you know what size fan/filter to use. There are lots of calculators free for the searching....like this one. https://botanical.com/hydro/air/calculating_fan_requirements.html
You would probably find more input for your question on a thread for equipment....like this section on riu

This place looks sweet, I have a few questions if anyone would care to field tho....
So Im just preparing to set up a room based mainly on that Mr. Green dudes youtube vids, and when hes talking about setting up lighting for the veg room, he says you want one cool and one warm white bulb per hood. Is that really necessary, or would like / just these /work? Or would I need to get those + some 3000k ones? Also those seem really cheap (just over $2 per? wtf?); other fluorescents seems like they were hundreds, whats up with that? Also he has 3 4ft hoods for just the mothers and cloning, standard? I feel Im missing something...
/ heres / what Im looking at to light the blooming room, any opinions? tia anyone
