**yerpgod** · 08-10-2012, 10:17 PM

Wondering if a 4x4 grow box 5 1/2 feet tall is a good size for a single 600w with 3-5 plants in 5 gallon pots ?

assuming i have all ventilation issues under control. lol

looking for the best size box for 1 600w .

Yes that would be good. I'm using a 40 inch x 40 inch x 6 foot tent with my 600.. Heat is a bitch because of summer but once sept come back around should be back to 78-82 degrees in the tent.

Yes, that's big enough. I would make it taller if you can

How tall should I go?

6.5 feet tall would be better if you can. If not, it will be fine. 600w is about perfect for a 4x4 space

yu will be fine. i have a 3x6 space and i am running a 400watt hps.

3.5x3.5x6' will put you right near 50w psqf. How do you plan on cooling your cab?

Need at LEAST a 6" inline fan for that. maybe an 8 if you want to run a filter

**monkeybones** · 08-11-2012, 01:47 PM

main thing to worry about is having a beefy out-take and a relatively cool temp air coming in through the intake at the bottom

also good circulation in the room

but that is plenty of space. i do 816 watts in the same size with a 4" in-line fan, but it is also in a cold basement. temps are usually between 85 and 88
