Is this about as big as you need for a 1000 watt hps

Most my other plants are farther behind but I want an idea

What size area?

Around 4x4

Some 5x5

62.5 wsqft in 4x4 and 40 wsqft in 5x5 I would think would be sufficient! Let’s ask some HID user’s, @Oldguy @peachfuzz can either of you help a fellow grower out here?

Thanks for the tag brother. @Holmes.
Ideally a fresh 1000 watter will cover a 4x5 area. Or 20 sq ft. @ 50 w /sq ft.
It would work for a 5x5 but the intensity will fall off a bit around the outer edges.
But still very doable.

Exact same hoods that I use and I only run 600’s with a socket extension to center the bulb…
I love them… :+1::wink:

I would recommend that you get your air pumps higher than the water level…
If you loose power , you run the risk of them siphoning out all of the water in the system… :+1::wink:
