i believe that chart is for a flowering hps sir. not mh. or did u veg with an hps? becuz an hps has a higher output rating than an mh bulb. an easier way to compare the two bulbs is by lumen output. i know that irrelevant to plants but its still a decent way to measure the output of a bulb since most bulb makers refuse to test for par. so a 1000 mh bulb has roughly 120000 lumens if u get a good bulb. hps is rated at about 150000 lumens for really good ones. which means ur bulb needs to be closer to ur plants if ur running an mh. but translate all of that to par. lmao.

good buy? did u get the hood also or did u just get the cooltube? cuz if u have the hood use it. becuz it has a better light footprint for ur tent than that cooltube does. it reflects a better pattern.

came with the hood and tube and ballast and 2 lights and pullups and a timer. actually was a pretty good deal. The ballast runs pretty cool

All I know is i vegged with the MH light all the way at the top and the plants stretched. I lowered the light and the plants got busy. Im going to find a happy medium. Next run i will keep the light a little lower but not so close as to risk bleaching **cough**
