that pic was b4 the filter was in as i was only vegging/ the bars hang from the frame as shown in pic
that’s cool, I’m not brave enough to hang the carbon filter over the plants, I leave it on the floor of the tent, but I could use the extra space.

I hang mine over the plants to evacuate as much hot air as efficiently as possible. (hot air rises)

that’s the conventional wisdom. It’s cold in my house most of the year, with the lamps heating the growing area, so I want to draw the hot air down onto the canopy.
I should rig the filter up high though, it would give me another square foot of canopy.

I like to add more light to add more heat when possible. Your way would save a little power however.

You’re my kinda guy @Numbnutts! I too go back and forth with LED and HPS. I need a light for a new tent but change my mind almost daily. I can tell you to check out guys like @Baudelaire and @Jellypowered. They are really on to something with their SolSheets. Your plants are stunning! Jah!
My sentiments prezactly! Exciting developments in led lighting but prices are stupid. Im gonna wait a bit before i drop a substantial dime on 'em. My HPS keeps it warm and fuzzy.

yes nearly top bin LEDs are down to about 75 cents a watt to build yourself so a true 1000w LED fixture could be built for ~750 which is much more than a 1000w HPS. you get much more par/lumens per watt tho
might be able to get it cheaper but i haven’t really shopped around for a while
