600w hps heat

can someone tell me how hot does a 600w hps run at, i have always used envirolite cfls,

how much would it increase a room temp ect...

I cant tell you in degrees, it really depends on your set up, venting situation etc. Is the hood vented? I run a 600w, and the temp outside effects the room more than the lamp itself.

well i dont actually have one, but if i did it would be in an average size room, in one of those volksgardens dont know whether u have seen them, im pretty sure you can put them in a cool tube

i dont know those volksgardens, but would that be inside another room? IF people set up in the basement compared to the attic, they are going to have different temps regardless of the lights they use. Plus if you live in Canada, or Hawaii, big difference in temps unles you have a very controlled room with heater and AC unit. So room set up means everything when it comes to temps. I know from making mistakes. My temps are like 55 at night because of being in a garage type room. Too low, but i cant get a heater going in there atm.

this is my setup. i have a fan blowing fresh outside air thru the open window and beneath the 600. it keeps it in the 70s constantly. when i turn the fan off and just have the 600w with no ventilation, the shit heats up to 95 in no time.

and how many plants you grow under that 1 600w and an average yield?

well at least you found a use for that crib after its inhabitant moved off. haha. at least it looks like a crib. and if your going to use a 600w hps i would definateley set up a venting system to move the air out. in an enclosed space the temps can exceed 100 degrees if your not venting properly. especially close to the bulb itself. just make sure you have a good enough fan to vent all air out or your enclosed grow area ever 15 mins or so. if it moved the air out even faster that would be good.

idk this is my first gro, i got seven right now

The average space heater is 1500 watts, so........ very hot.... especially in smaller spaces.

and ya it is a crib. works great, but am thinkin of losin it for the next grow so i can fit more under the 600
