Parabolic for 1m x 1m tent

[LewisR19]

Hi all, can anyone point me in the right direction for a parabolic for my tent please.
Would a 1m diameter para be too big in my 1m x 1m tent or wouldn’t it matter too much touching the sides?
There doesn’t seem to be much option out there for anything smaller. My standard reflector is quite shite and I wana get a few upgrades in before the grow out

Hey Lewis, I had the same dilemma in my 1x1 and after discussing it with a friend, I realised the 1m parabolic wouldn't be the best choice due to heat getting trapped and air circulation being limited, so I went with the 80cm parabolic and am happy with it

Another thing to take into account is our tents do pull in with negative pressure so you'll be a tadge smaller in that regard too.

Oh and my parabolic is the Shinobi Ultra 95 - 80cm...(I know, I know..I didn't like the hotspots but eh..I'm a fussy one lol).

Sunking parabolic from Holland hydro has been my choice. Think it's 55 quid

Ah yeah I didn’t think about the negative pressure! cheers Ice this is one of the few that I did come across. How do you find it mate?

Well mate, I'm gonna be honest with you..I was concerned about hotspots with it, BUT after realising that with parabolics, they are mostly like this (thanks to others letting me know this lol )..I just make sure to turn my pots every day and all is well.

So I'm happy with it now, I do know there are some cheaper options like the one Prime recommends

Nothing wrong with that mate..I know a fair few growers who use the budget reflectors and achieve fantastic results..check out Sads plants as an example

I know what you mean though, you wanna invest into it a little more..and why the hell not, let us know which you end up with.

You might get some more recommendations mind so wait a little while at least.
