The 70 and 100 watt HPS can be found at popular home improvement stores.

I have a closet with 7 ft (height) x 5ft (length) x 2ft (width)
grow space.

I plan on using a 600w system (which i'll be ordering next week).

7 x 5 x 2 = 70 CBF.

I plan on getting 2 243 cfm fantech FR centrifugal fans,
which will be more than enough.

95,000/10 (area: 5ft x 2ft = 10)
=
9,500 lumens per square foot i believe?

As you was saying that it doesn't matter how many plants
just how much space. The smaller the room the less the light.
You was also saying that it will put out alot of heat in small
rooms. A 243 cfm fan should do the trick in 70 cbf space.

I'll probably use bushmaster and start flowering a 12 in" (1ft') tall,
from what i hear that will give the best yield. But concerned if it
affects potency.

I plan on charging for some of what i grow
to enhance my grow op with cfls for side lighting,
this way i get the best of both worlds.

OK... on fans CFM... yes they should do the job.... but this is about light temps and comparisons...Super duper CFM exhaust does not always mean a cool room/cab....and if you have no fresh air comming in you can exhaust all day and have high temps and stale air. Maybe we need a thread only fans and cooling.

I plan on getting two of those fans, one for intake and exhaust lol.

My other point is if i planned to grow 6 plants in the space
i said with a 600w it should due nicely, but it would produce
alot of heat.
