Can I not use my 1000w HPS air cooled in a 3x3 with co2 around 1500-1800ppm?

Do I put in the 1000w air cooled with co2?

  1. No

    100.0%
  2. Yes @ 1500 ppm

  1. Sorry for my ignorance, but I know you can run hotter with co2. Right now I just have a 1000 w quantum led board in there. I was thinking now with ppm levels as high as 1500 ppm can i get away with a 1000 w?

    I can cool the shit out of it.

    A. Run normal air-cooling.

    B. Suck outside air (-5 Celsius) into the vortex inline 6 inch i have. That will definitely cool it.

    So, I guess my question is I've heard at around 1000 par and less you wont benefit much from co2.

    But can I if Its like 1500-1800 ppm? George Cervantes says he goes as high as 95 F with co2.

    Wtf should I do.

    I already know I'm going to try it. I just want to know if theirs a ppm level or anything special I should know to get the best from ridiculous par in a small tent.
     
  2. 80-85f is more or less the optimum temp.
    1000-1500ppm on the CO2

    and as much light as u can give them before bleaching.
     
  3. Me don't think your light is actual 1000w light ……..
    my guess in more like 350 watts max ...
    if its a blurple you need 48 watts per square foot of grow space ...

    Might post a link to your light so we know exactly what you are working with ..
     
  4. 1000 HPS in a 3x3 is 111 watts per square foot. Bruh, just try growing on the surface of the sun while you're at it :roflmao:
     
  5. He says its a 1000w HPS

    At that rate its 111 W
    sq/ft. The sun is around 100w Sq/ft on average. 125 at higher altitude, at noon, at the equator.

    You can run the 1000w but is more than is really needed for a 3 x 3. Even for maximum production. 50w sq/ft is minimum for hardcore Long Flowering Sativas and HID.

    Even a 600w HPS is 66w/sq/ft, and is 3 more w sq/ft than using a 1000w in a 4 x 4. 62.5w sq/ft for 1000w in a 4 x 4
    I also wouldn't use anything but a Hortilux HPS Superbulb. Regardless of Watts if I was to use HID.

    Ive got a Gavita 1700e. LED. ALso have 1000w Hortilux HPS, DE Gavita 1150w HPS. 600w - 1200w Nanolux CMH DE

    Gavita says this light is a direct 1:1 Replacement for a 1000w Single Ended HPS/Hortilux, in a 4 x 4 area. 1700e is 1700umol, and pulls 645w from the wall. Hortilux 1000w HPS is 1600umol.
