Best reflector

I'm gonna get a new reflector and a new tent after this grow.

Im wondering what the best reflector is for a 3x3 tent.

I'm upgrading from a cooltube.

It's going to be paired up with a 600w phantom ballast.

Another question is.. What size ducting holes does secret jardin dr90 got?

Reason for asking is because my cheap tent ducting ports aren't big enough to vent properly.

Any and all advice is appreciate.

You're just looking for a reflector, or a whole light system (ballast and all)?
Assuming the former, what wattage ballast do you have now?
Why is my pie crust never flaky?

What kind/watt light will you be using? I have the XXXL hood, comes with 6 inch or 8 inch holes. The measurement on it is 32.5x26.5.

Haha ok that makes more sense. Even at $130, I don't think the increase in price is justified...but it's your $$$

I understand. I'm just trying to get the best light spread for the cash. I was also looking at blockbuster 6 reflector too

Here's a sneak peak at one of my hobby rooms here on the homestead using that system I linked...


looks nice. Very tempting. I do use hose clamps now. I'm gonna see what other people recommend too. I mean I still got awhile to go, but I like to plan my updates out so of I get cash ahead of time I can order if I want.

I use the xxxl hood, also, with the 6" port. I also have a 1000w (+ turbo charged 1100w) ballast, which both are definitely overkill in my 4x2 tent.

BUT! The nice thing about buying more than I needed, was that I don't need to upgrade when I get a bigger space. Just food for thought, I'm sure there are a lot of other options that are a lot more cost effective.

But if you ask me, if there's one thing that you want PLENTY of, its light. It will only translate to bigger, denser buds. The my ballast runs at 400, 600, 1000, or 1100 and I've been running it at 1000 with no problems, but I do have air conditioned intake.

I have air conditioned intake too temp isn't a problem. So far there's 2 on the xxxl hoods but would still like to get more advice on this subject.
