I am doing a 10x12x7 grow room in basement. I wanted to max yields without having heat issues. I was thinking of doing 4 1000watt magxxxL each doing a 4x4 area connected to a carbon 10" whey 10"x8"x8" straight run 2 on one side and 2 on the other connected to a 12"x8"x8" whey pulling with a CAP 12" fan.
I am going to run 2 ebb and grows 24 each 55 res
for a total of 48 sites. the room with be full orca with a 4 inch inline fresh air coming in.
Does anyone think I will run into a heat issue?
The basement is obviously humid and doesnt have great air flow, hence I need to run some in.
I want to max the yield and 1000's would do the job I just don't want overkill...burning and temp issues.
Any advice would be really appreciated. I am on a timeline and need to get thius up and running soon...
This is my crappy drawing of the concept airflow in the room

go with the raptor hoods, they are completely sealed so they stay much cooler which allows you to put the light closer while still maintaining a large enough footprint to cover your canvas. you can get the raptors about 12 in away with a 1000w, which is the closest you want it. the increase you pick up in lumens from putting the light closer makes for a much larger yeild. if it gets hot then get an a/c, summer time is just about over so temps should start to mellow out though. if you want max yeild then you have to do it right, and that costs money.

I am aware of the lumens factor. Thats why I was going with the Mag XXXL which is almost identical to the raptor hood...
I am running out of room to put an AC in...so I guess trial and error...
I was hoping someone would have done this setup before within reasonable measures so I know what I am up against. Guess I won't know til I put it together
Thanks
