Lighting Choosing the right HID lights for your growspace

[SOUR JERZY]

also wipe the bulb down the bulb .....as the oils in your hands can make the bulb die faster......
If your gonna use more than 400w your gonna probably want a cool tube as your reflector or a nice inline fan..... i bought one off flea bay like a 6 inch and expect to get the speed controller......then you you can practically touch the tube as there is no bleaching like leds.....the closer the buds to light expect fat nugs.......
lights arent everything as i get better with growing im starting to realize its all about the roots health and size but that's another topic....

As long as you have suitable venting to cover the heat which 600w lights give off then it sounds like it can fit in that size tent

Its actually a 4ft by 4ft by 80inches high. Is the 600 still good or is it to little?

Easiest way to tell is write out the tent de mentions on paper and then get the reflector measurements and add them inside the 4x4 because that will show you the remaining. Space your need for ventilation like ducting because 600w packs some heat if it's hydro.

If your a newbie grower the. I highly suggest you browse each area From venting to lighting to help you effectively put together a setup inside your tent which will leave you plenty of space to move pots around and fan positioning an space for when you need to raise an lower your reflector.

You need to know the measurements of everything to ensure it can all for inside the tent and you have plenty of space to get around.

Measurements for things to fit inside your tent.

Pots,fans,reflector,ducting, venting, intake and outtake fans,chair, thermometer, pot trays, and if your using it SoG.

This entire fourm an sub fourms has a ton of advice in beginner growing in all areas. So spend a few hours a day researching EVERYTHING!
