I have herd 600watts are more efficient, but i never herd why. Why is it cheaper to run two 600watts than one 1000watt?

kslawdog i agree with MD914... How in the fuck did u have decent temps without an a/c with a 1000watt? Or is it only because of the a/c? lol. I checked out your thread because I am running a tent of the same size space with a cooltube and a 400watt, i had thought about trying to get a 1000watt in there. Its perfect right now with just the 400. i have it hooked up with the filter to the exhaust fan exhausting through the cooltube out of the tent. If i had a 1000watt i was going to seperately run a venting system from my window with the cold winter air. I will see how my 400 pans out but dam i had to check this out like WTF haha, good on you dude! Keep at it, things look pretty good!

Yes, I definitely had the a/c going with the 1000w but now with the 600w the a/c barely comes on. I have a hole cut out in my floor 3x the size of my exhaust leading to the corner of by basement with my a/c. This is the reason I believe I held good temps. I am exchanging air in the closet about every 30 seconds.

Just out of curiosity, what kind of intake and exhaust are you using? I have a 5X5 space that I run a 600 in and want to increase my wattage but don't want temps to get too high. I can't run an ac unit or it will overload my breaker..
I also have a 4X4 tent that has a 400. I'm going to double up to 800 in a couple weeks but I can run an ac from another breaker in that room...

I have a passive intake and a 6in vortex pushing through a cool tube.

Also guys, I checked my earliest finishing plant today and I saw about 90% cloudy 5% clear and a few amber heads. Should I wait one more day? Or two? I just want to plan it around work and other shit I gotta do.

and always push through a cooltube when its a short run of duct , that way if a bulb blows your fan doesnt have to chew it up

Just trimmed up my first plant. It is almost ready for cure. 35 grams but I'm sure I'll lose some more weight. Nothin Impressive but it's the stickiest bud I have ever had. Thanks for everyone's help. Hope to talk to you guys again. Peace.
