    Default Parabolic shade

    I am looking at upgrading my cool hood light to a parabolic shade for my next run.
    I?ve got a 1.2m x 1.2m loft grow tent. As the top of the tent slopes in I?m wandering if anyone has used a parabolic shade in them before without being too restricted for head height.
    Can you raise them to the top or do the the tent restrict this?
    I can get an 800mm shade rather than a 1000mm shade. Has anyone used a 1000mm shade in the tent in question?

    i've used a 1m parabolic in a 1.2x1.2 - even with negative pressure they work no bother
    the sides still let air/heat move around

    no mate that was in a standard 1.2x1.2x2.0 but if you've ever seen em there's about 30cm drop to them all
    you can't get it right up into the roof space, but should work with there shape and the drop

    I can raise mine this much. When doing a sativa I would need this room, but at the movement am doing a Indica.

    It'll be fine in that tent mate as the reflector is shaped like an umberrlla, and slopes on the sides like the tent does.

    Parabolic is the way to grow if you're using HID bulbs man, I have a 1.2 m one in my 1.2 m tent, does the job lovely
