I use a Gorilla 5x9 Tent.
1st grow, was with a bulb conversion kit. Via a 6" Magnumxx hood. I removed the glass. I also had a LED light to augment. FOR 330 watts.... I am very satisfied. The growth was very intense. BUT a fumble on my part, messed up the bulbs. I swapped, x wrongly, so didn't have the right bulbs in during flowering. BUT none the less still pretty decent. HEAT!!!! is and will be an issue. Plants directly under the light, will experience the bowl effect.
Next grow will be with the Sun Systems LEC 630 Air-cooled. Just using the hand test, it is noticably cooler. I don't run A\C or anything. Just Air venting.
But so far, the absolute best thing, is the Cost of the lights. No more, worrying about how many cycles certain bulbs go through. Not having to buy 3-4 bulbs every 6months. These bulbs will last until the next generation of light comes out. A single 630 in a 4x4 will be BRIGHT!!!!!!.
