**Micro growing experts** Help me make a 400w Micro box

would 400ws even have a better growth rate and yeild potential than say a 250w in that space ya think?

im so curious i have to bump

What does your intuition tell you about this dimension..:

2.5l 2.5w by 3 ft high?

Thats bigger then my cab so your fine in my opinion. The bigger the cab the bigger the grow so ya ....

Would it yes ... but I dont think you could cool it without a cool tube and adequate ventilation. A 250 HPS ( with a cool tube ) would be fine in the cab dimensions you stated above IMO

The biggest problems with small cabs is cooling them adequately.

thanks for the input. Man please tell me you have some pics. And i dont know if i forgot to mention but the cool tube is definate. SO the grow potential and yeild would be stonger?

Below is an old pic it is a little different setup but the only pic pulled out far enough to show scale. Now its setup to maximize the full space ........ of 20"L x 16"W x 30"h

hell ya, nice, what all are you using to vent? and is that 400w of hps?

no no thats a 65Watt CFL and a 42 watt cfl. Soon to be a 250 or 150 watt HPS with a home made cool tube. If I dont run my vents my cab gets hot fast so with a HPS it would be super hot and fast!

ohhh i thought you were saying that you had 400ws in a cab that was smaller than mine. i got ya. way to rise my hopes ya bastard! jk. well cute cab, id love to see 250ws of hps in there.
