thats funny.. not really.. but it is.. know what i mean?? it is hard to adjust to kids when your not used to having them around... it takes me a minute if i visit my nieces or friends visit or whatever...
alright... here is how my set up will be... first the room size that my 4x1000s will be in is 1/3 of the square footage as your room.. so that in and of itself concerns me... but... ill have 4 reflectors with 6" open flanges.. the two back reflectors will connect to the front reflectors... there might be a 3 ft gap between the back and front.. the front two reflectors will connect to a 6x6x10 Y-splitter.. the 10" side of the splitter will have a 12" duct attached to it that will attach to a 12" 1100 cfm fan which will be exhausted out of the room... the back reflectors will have 6" intake spots where the open flange is so there will be plenty of air movement.. the relfectors themselves have glass that forms an air tight seal so ill get good movement with the fan... the air that will be cooling them will be pulled from the room... do you think this will keep them and my room cool enough?? its only 63 sqft.. 7x9 approx.. i know its hard saying because there are still some unknown variables.. but just from a stand point of keeping the lights cool do you think that setup will work.. heres a nice kindergarten sketch of the layout so you can get a better idea of what i mean... thanks for the input...
I've run a similar setup before.
Here's my advice.
Push air over your lights instead of pulling it.(Your fan will thank you)
I used a 8"Vortex fan
inside of a 14" flexduct.
Then I used a 14x8x8 Y adapter. After the Y I used the two 8" ducts with reducers to cool 2 lights a piece.
Then exhausted into the attic.
On top of that I had a Portable A/C to keep temps inline.
As well as oscillating fans and a small fan pulling air off the ground and up to the ceiling.
This was a very costly operation!
I was pulling about 6kwh in just my grow room!
I have now moved away from that design in favor of 600w'ers!!
They are by far the best way to go.
A 600w bulb can be put closer to a plant then a 1000w bulb.
And at 2ft. distance a 600w way outperforms a 1000w at 3ft away!
And 2 600w covers 6x3 @ 1.2kwh while 1000w covers 4x4 @ 1.0kwh.
So instead of getting 4 1000w to cover roughly 8x8.
You should get 6 600w and cover roughly 9x6.
4-1000w = 4.0 kwh
6-600w = 3.6 kwh
With 6 6's I would recommend using 1 fan for each set of 3.
he wants to do every think his unckl jeff does. LOL
hell maybe a 12'' fan will do it passivly..but if you could have that fan pulling intake air over your hoods and then out..that would be the ticket
