Bo,
Yes I'm still using the 1000 watt but it is turned down by 50%. I have the light in a cool tube with 395cfm inline fan blowing on it. My temps are high at times but mostly in the 80 degree mark in veg and flower.
Fox farm soil? Nope I'm using Roots soil. I think fox farm soil is what gave us bugs a while back. My nutes are the fox farm trio with boosters in bloom. I know the nutes may not be the best out there but it's almost fool proof and that it what I need ?.
