600 watt light fixture suggestion

So I’m working with a 6 ft ceiling. Pretty short. Initially I was going to purchase the adjust a wings but at the time they were sold out. I had to settle for the econo wings which are poorly designed. The light just travels wherever it pleases. My plants looked great but the colas were small and not dense. I’ve had success with 600w and I understand 1000w will provide a larger yield bigger buds etc but I don’t have the ceiling or cooling for them. I think a DE 600w might be too hot or maybe not.

Anyone have any suggestions? I’ve read mixed reviews for cmh during flowering and leds would be too expensive.

same here. ive been trying to find some examples. from what i see 630w cmh might be a bit too much under 6" on the tent.

looks like there is a hot spot under the lights

How about a cooltube, and some seriously good exhaust system, and of course a remote ballast.

600 watt HPS gets damn hot, as you mention, but with the above mentioned things you should be able to make it work, plus plenty of passive intakes.

Have a god day...
