If this would have been a 6 week veg instead of 4, I would have still been happy getting the low profile even with 9' ceilings... :)

True dat.... but I always train my plants down..... for me it would have ended up same height, but 5 foot wide. Why havent you upgraded the circulating fan yet? How many times do i gotta tell you, that is not enough air flow! Man seeing plants like that almost makes me want to try hydro. But that organic smell/flavor.....

I also find hps bulbs to throw a footprint kind of like this.

Sort of an oval footprint with a hot center. For good coverage from a 1000w he will need to hang the hood so the bulb is parallel to the short walls which will likely mean a 90 degree ducting bend in and out of the hood. If he runs two 600's, he can just run them in a straight line and coverage should be great. 3x6 is an odd space to try to light up with a single light.
I do agree. Given the space if it were me, I'd throw 3x- 600w in Yield masters with 1- 8" cooling the goods and another for exhaust = Pounds out of that space.
:fire:

Im running 2 of these in my 5x5. And ive got 4 mini tower fans (like a foot tall) circulating air under the canopy. Its a bit overkill but I like the way the air circulates with 6 small fans on medium speed. And its really quiet.

Awesome, thanks guys for the advice i decided to go with the 2 600w air cooled hoods with eye hortilux bulbs, the bulbs for the 6's cost more than the 1k believe that? Oh well hope to be pulling LBS soon. I have to upgrade my intake and exhaust anyways reflector is puting out some heat in that space. What kind of oscillating fans would you recommend for that size space?

wall mount fan on a wood plank, ziptie to top or sides of tent, pretty nice airflow

Thats basically exactly what i did on my first grow except i put the fan on a piece of ply wood so i could easily raise/lower it. I found the hurricane to be a little to powerful even on low. I prefer the two small oscillating fans on opposite corners, get a little more even air flow.

I would probably do 2 huge plants with that space and setup.... one per light. Trellis/supercrop them into a nice flat canopy.
