Thinking about doing another vertical garden

I've been looking for a grow tent that was about 6x6, not easily done because its not a common size. Found one that's 6'3" x 6'3" x 6'3" on ebay, not perfect (I don't like the vents) but it'll work nicely I'm sure.

I was thinking about getting a vertical parabolic hood and just throwing a 1000w lamp in there. Does that sound about right in terms of size - 6x6 footprint for a 1000w bulb?

Not my first vertical, but will be my first with a 1000. Last time I stacked 3x 400w in a 4x4x7 cab

I run a 1000 watt bulb in a 63 inch outside diameter circle. It would not give you much room to get around. The plants are about 22 inches from the light at harvest. I am not a great grower but with only 5 plants out of six possible last time I pulled 26.5 ounces. I just hang the bulb with no hood. My height is 7 foot and I don't use much of the top 2 feet. I would run it.
