Is this HTG light system good..is it good quality,and has anyone ever used one of them?I need all info on this light fixture,or HTG's customer service!!Thanks...High Tech Garden Supply

Also,lets say I grow this in a small closet,and I dont use ducting and cooling..is it sufficient by just poingting some house fans at the bulb??And having as much fans blowing upwards to make the warm air rise above the canopy?

What if I leave the closet door open as much as I can?

i got my 400w hps ballast bulb and reflector for 149.99 from HTG supply on EBAY. ive used it for almost 9 months and no problems. i have it in a closet and YES it will get hot. at first i just had a fan in there and it got up to like 90 degrees. now i have a 5000 btu a/c in my window and one fan in the closet pointing out the corner.i have a huge blanket covering the closet.and it works GREAT.

Do you think its possible to manage the temps with alot of fans..like maybe 5 fans pointing up at the light system?I dont wanna invest in a portable AC..also keep in mind I am somewhere in Fl...the "hot"part lol...How hot will it get?What if I leave the closet door kinda open,and have a fan blowing OUT the door....pretty much a cheap and simply ventilation setup?...!

may work ..if your in a hot climate and not have proper cooling could be problems , but i use 2 400 watt in a 4 foot by 5 foot area and vent with a little bathroom ventilation fan and have an osculating fan and it stays in the 90's which my plants don't seem to mind they actually get pretty crystalline to try and keep from drying up

I've had the 400w hps light from htg for about 2 months and i'm using it in about the same set up. It's in a closet with sliding doors. i keep each side open about 4 inches. I use two fans, on on the floor, on one end of the closet, blowing up towards the light, but also serves to keep air moving over the plants. the other fan is in the top of the closet on the other side and serves to vent warm air out. I also keep the ballast outside of the closet. But i've never had temps at the canopy top 82 degrees.
The light works great, but i wish i had put the money into an air cooled hood at the time. it would save me some money on my next project of building a grow cabinet or modifying the closet so that it'll be light proof.

Good stuff...great service. I highly recommend HTG Supply

Oh ok...I really wanna buy the 400W HPS...then just flower 9 plants..SOG style.

One plant per square foot,in coco coir/perlite....how much might this yield from lets say..Big Bud clones?

Also,how far can I have the light over the canopy?Without the plants stretching for the light??!
