how do dual 600 cost compared to a 1000? ya it was a steal of a deal from discount hydro in riverside. my homie danny and erick bought one and they work just fine. so i took kona to the same store and she bought the same. it has a warranty and everything. 189 for the hood,ballast and bulb so not bad to start.

and big rep to her. :D

Thanks bro I appreciate it!!!!!! I am happy to have some people watching my back ;)

Dual electronic 600 ballasts will run less voltage than a 1k but put out more lumens because the digis are more efficient. You might ask about a digi 1k they are a bit pricey but it will cost the same or a slight tiny bit less to operate which imo is not worth it for the lumen and coverage drop off that you see compared to two 600s even with hoods, but they aren't neccesary you actually use the bulb more efficiently Unenclosed.

I can get way deep into the the whole vertical lighting and bare bulb thing with you right now but I don't wanna crowd up the thread ;) but you get the gist of it. Can't argue with 189 bucks and the results she's getting. Like I said I like to live in a perfect little world where I can have all the toys I want to play with to absolutely 100% maximize efficiency AND output. ;)

That and glass in your hood cuts lumens and UVB light from your bulb drastically which is not helpin the plants any.

I would rather spend the money on two 600s, but thats IMO!!! Great deal by the way, what kind of deal can you get on 600s???

Kona plants looking good, are you doing any Sup Crop or LST???
 
yes kaptain, makes sense. but 2 600 systems will cost more than a single 1000 now. i heard good things about 600s. my friend has 24 plants vegging under 1000watt metal halide.

and they are asking me if they can use a cool tube that had a 400 watt bulb in it to run a 600 watt bulb. u can right? its the 1000 that is way bigger than 600. right? or am i wrong. finishing up some stuff at my house for the night. trimmed my outdoor plants up today they look way better now. they are starting to flower. hopefully they finish by march :(
 
$185 for a 600 ballast. or $229 for a complete set. ballast, hood and bulb. the 1000 watt one that was bought was so cheap cuz its a deal for bigger growers. but it works for them. thats why its so cheap. it works great tho and will for months and is warrantied

I have a 1000 in my cool tube that I had my 400 watt in but its a 8". I am not sure if you can fit a 1000 in a 4" Cool Tube but you can in a 6" or larger for sure!!! Whats key is the CFMs of the fan exhausting it. I got a 8" Vortex Fan on mine and my tent is a 4x4x6.

I am with you KK, I love the 6! My next winter grow I am doing a bedroom and want four 600s in there or two 6's and 2 CMHs. Still havent decided yet! Either way I cant go wrong.

Peace

I judge no ones choices there are advantages to 1ks as well. ;) it really depends on your growing style which all comes down to personal preference anyways. All that matters is healthy plants and that's whatcha got.

But on a side not but jointly related topic. I know u don't have venting hooked to the hood right now. Pull the glass out of it and take advantage of full power lighting. You will see how much brighter it gets ;)

Keep playin I wish I had gotten to those other plants lol.
