When I first received the 600 I did not use an actual tent
Years ago, I built a wood frame for my 8 bulb Quantum Bad Boy (2 x 4) over which I hung either windshield reflectors, and later insulated foam board, but the top above is open
Upon installing the 600, I quickly noticed that the backside of the SPYDR spine was hot
I solved that by positioning a 12" fan up high horizontally, so that ~ half blew across the bars with the other half blowing across the canopy
This grow I decided to put it in its' own tent and grow one Big Mexican female. I found Milliard 3 x 3 for $100 including free shipping; the 4 x 4 is only $125. The tent meets my needs and will order the 4 x 4 (actually 50" x 50")
Accidentally, I ordered a 3 x 3 tent (meant to order 4 x 4), which I just erected yesterday. I will use it for the 265w new comer panel, but in the mean time, I decided to test the 600 in it
1. damn a lot more light, which should add many more grams to harvest
2. it is hot in there
The tent has 3 vent windows at the bottom, which I found to be a waste in my 2 x 4 tent, so I reversed the skin, putting it upside down, which puts the 3 vents at the top
Not enough room inside the 3 x 3 for the fan, so one door flap is open with the fan blowing in and up
Temp is very comfy now
Pic is of Blueberry Cheese Cake, which I harvested
For grins I decided to see if I could revive her and had her in my 2 x 4 tent under a ~ 70w 3500K ufo for 3 weeks where nothing much happened
Perhaps it takes a lot more led juice to reveg.
This morning I decided to move her to the new tent under the SPYDR 600. where she will stay until such time as new seedlings are ready
In the last 6 days new leafs are forming
