I think the hps is a bit closer than most people run, but it stays cool to the touch so I'm hoping this won't be too much of a problem.

Is it bad to have a hps within a couple feet if is air cooled and heat is no issue?

I plan on running a bunch of clones vegged 1 or 2 weeks then straight to flower under the hps. I'm thinking this will help to keep them moderately short. I will also scrog most likely.

My temps are running ways cooler in the room since I hooked the fan and light up because im exhausting air from the room through a 6 inch blower instead of the 4 inch.
I even shut off my ac completely today to try and get my temps up to 75. . I'm liking this problem lol

keep your hps 12 inches away if it is cool to the touch. It can bleach the Tops!!!

I'll definately try. No bleaching yet but I know it probably will. Decided that the tables I built already are going to be for vegging, because... well, I didn't quite plan for the height I needed for a hps, because I am used to LED's and T5's. So i will be doing something different for the other 8x4 space.
Probably top feed drain to waste also, but with lower tables.

Thanks man! Always working to make it better. I switched my tables to drain to waste today, instead of dumping water back into my resevoir.
I think the plants will like it better, but I guess we'll see!

Added a 2x4 flood table in the flower room today. Just built some legs pet wick for support and set it in. I figure I'll top feed and drain to waste.
The second 600w a/c apollo high pressure sodium will be here tomorrow and will go right over this table.

Your grow just gave me the inspiration to go forward with my project. My only problem is I’m a bit off the grid so I need to figure out my power issue. I might be able to find a solution with solar panels, I’m still experimenting though.

If your fan goes off because the room gets cold then your light may burn your plants. If you can, have it pull air from outside the room and then exit outside the room so it's on a closed loop system(not actually looped) that way air is always moving threw the hoods. If there is an air gap under the floor you can vent the heat threw a hole in the floor. But other wise nice setup, when you get dialed in it will be fun to watch.
