my grow room is 19.5'x9' and I have 6x1000 HPS
the farthest Im willing to space em is 4', so I should be fine Eh?
as for safety, not an issue, all new wiring, and new equiptment, so I wanna go all out, if you know what I mean.
and my sig. is not in reference to you, its for those who answer MY posts, and dont know shit!
peace
