So ive always done smaller rooms, 8X8 was the biggest, I had 4 600 Watt HID lights and the room had about a foot of space between the plants and the wall, i ued cool tubes so never had any heating issues. Right now I am running a big 15 1000 Watt HPS grow room and the room is wide open, getting great results, but there is about 4 feet from one side of the plants and about 15feet on the other side of the room, question is should I leave it open like it is as I plan to add more plants anyways, or should I close the 15 plants in and if I do am I going to have a problem with heat?

I would say if its not broke why fix it....if you results are great and you plan to add more plants and lights at some point. I would leave well enough alone. Just my 2 cents.....Good luck to you.

You’re running 15 lights with 15 plants?

What size space are we talking about here?

If you plan to add more lights and plants in the future just leave it as is since you say your results are great.

Not really other than live action
I delete my pics cause I’m a bit outside the lines in respect to current guidelines
But the guy I gave 5 1k ballast to thought I was nuts
The 600’s lowered my bill $300
And with overlap still produces similar quality with less heat

You just incriminated yourself just as much typing that as a photo would. Post some pics

Lights are off till 9:30 but it does exist
But really I avoid having stuff on my phone
I’m not really hiding just staying safe
If posting on here is incriminating I blew thru that door long ago
