thanks for your reply, then I guess Im ok,since I only will hang one 600W and I do have a big floor Fan I can split apart and use the fan part on the floor pointed up at the bare bulb, and a 6" ventilation/filter
distance from bulb ?

you're welcome man and i'm still working out my veg time, i'm in a new apartment (8 months now) and i was lucky that it had a nice closet that is just over 4 x 4 x 8 so the perfect size for a 600watt flower room, ...which freed up my 4 x 4 tent for vegging.
...about a month ago i set up a couple of 4ft, 2 bulb T12 shoplights in that tent with 40watt, 4100Kelvin bulbs in them and my veg growth since has been great, way better than expected for a measly 160watts of flouro power. ($20.00 per fixture and $2.00 per bulb)
...and no man, i veg everything with lights in horizontal mode and only switch to vert when i go into flower.
peace, bozo

You have more than enough room. Here's the link for the 1k vert in a 4x4 tent. https://www.rollitup.org/vertical-growing/557123-1k-watt-vert-grow.html
Checkout the vert forum a those guys could be a million times more helpful. Good luck!

ahh ok, great, have a 4 ft. T5HO fixture with 6 bulb and mostly 6500K and a few 2700K in it..
will use that in my closed (2x2) and flower in my room, was thinking about removing the shelfs in there to make room to mount the fixture vertical and make new small shelfs for the plants/Cups, not to Veg tho, just to have small nice seedlings ready for the flowering room after harvest to cut of a few weeks in the end..
was thinking about Veg. em for a few weeks with my 600W before 12/12 or use a few weeks to turn down the light hours 1/2 a hour a day untill I reach 12/12 and use that time and the stretch to scrog them a bit, lets see ..

i think you will be okay if you just make sure from the beginning to tie your limbs or do whatever to keep them from growing towards and eventually touching the light.
i have a flower room with one 1000 watt hps, a 400 watt hps , 200 watt halide and two cfls in the back two corners of room and have experienced buds getting too close to all 3 main lights and getting burnt without touching.
if you can keep all limbs at least one foot and a half from touching the light all they way around your circle.
the best way to check is simply use your hand and feel the heat. but for a 600 watt hps i wouldnt get any closer than a foot or foot and a half, because i have had a 400 watt hps burn the shit out of buds at 6 to 8 inches away but had a room full so i could afford the 3 or 4 grams that got burnt. i have had to go in multiple times and tie limbs in various directions to get better light or to get limbs off bulbs.
with the vert light obviously most of the light is coming directly off the sides and thats what you want to get to your plants but if u have limbs that start to grow towards the light u can just weigh them down to reach under the light and may tangle with other plants so you might get a circle of plats all intertwined.
your idea of a setup is what i have been thinking about doing with my next round of flowering plants.
with a vert light hanging in the middle of the room or one long light pole in the middle with plants circling and additional lights around the outside of the circle maybe on the ceiling vertical or suspended down into the middle of the room to get the really strong light from the bulb.

just a little early smoke
I will make a horseshoe in there with 7 plant`s, already mixed my soil for my Veg pot`s so its ready
going back to a organic ss agin, did`t like pure coco that much, to much hassle with PH and Ecc, tho out of the 7 plants I plan to grow I will try to make a hempy bucket out of one just to experiment a bit, plan to use some metal net (from work) to LST/train em to stay with in the light (will measure it with my light meter, but also keep em fare enough away so they cant get burned) but the plan is to keep em small and busy with as many Bud sites as possible, hopefully with in a foot or two of the 600W
was at my local hydro store to buy the light mix as my base and got a few air pots really chap (last 4 they had) only paid about 10$
exited how they will work (anybody with any experience ?)
I will use a normal 12" table fan at the floor to direct air up and my 6" ventilation/filter at the top to vent the hot air out, and a passive intake at the floor (3x4" ducting to light proof it and direct it where I want)
