| | can anybody help me out, i have two hps lights a 400 and a 250, I would have just bought 1 600 but these two lights where an old friends that thought he wanted to grow and paid for the 2 lights but never even started,lol (NO IDEA) so i got them and hung onto them, now a year later I am putting them to use. I have an inline 4'' fan going into the wall resting on my top closet rack, i plan on air cooling both lights with this fan wall to wall using attic air. I am having doubts that this 170 cfm fan will do the job with both lights. QUESTION, do you guys think i will be ok cooling the 2 lights enough (or) do i need to put the 250 aside and use just the 400? Not to mention i really want to use both obviously all light will help, and moving to a 6'' fan isnt really an option b/c the fixture is already 4'' duct compatible  thanks for any help you can give me......... |

| | how big is the closet?
I would have thought for any closet, a 400w would be plenty.
I guess if you have 3000 lumens or more per square foot of grow space, you're fine.
and with a 400w HPS you want to be able to change the air in your grow room 3-5 times a minute. To calculate your room size, multiply Width by Length by Height, this will give you the CFM rating required for one room change per minute. Times that by 3 at a minimum and you have the minimum required CFM rating you need. |

| | well my closet is 5'x4'.......and the height of the ceiling is 12 feet(I hang the lights at 6'), huge closet! i cut it off to make it 5ft with wood board. well using your calculations i need a 240cfm. I will have a 170 on the lights exaust. and i have right now a 6'' 440cfm bringing cool 70 degree ac air into the closet, and plan to install ambient room individual exaust with a carbon sok. I mean i might be lagging on the cfm's for the reflectors, but i am gonna have a lot of cool air coming in for the room. |

| | yeah those lights look awesome... Blinky, i just started some seeds about two weeks after my first plant sprouted so we are in the same boat, should be fine tho... Yeah, did all thatcome with the light??? i have a hps buld but nothing to make it light up  sadly just dont have the cash money, do you know where and how much that costs?

| | Thanks guys for the props, Tryintogrow I got my t5 at a local hydro shop on sale but it was still kind of costly 285.00. I love it though, and it took me 4 years to get my own place and start growing  so that closet will happen for you. What up caddy, yeah i had the 2 lights in storage when i got them about 4 years ago. They both didnt come with the hoods i just picked those up...they just came with a medi reflector and ballasts/bulbs from a company called P.L. lighting. I have decided to go ahead with both hps lights when 12/12 comes around. i am gonna move the 6'' inline fan bringing in the AC to the top to use on both hoods. seeing how the hoods are already equipped for 4'' ducting and a 4'' fan i am going to use a 4'' to 6'' reductor and run the duct from the 6'' fan through the 2 hoods and back into the wall which i am pretty sure runs up to attic. then we will just use the inline 4'' fan to bring in fresh air for ambient grow room and exaust that independently with a fan and a carbon sock i have laying around. SO STAY TUNED THERE ARE GOING TO BE SOME COOL TRANSFORMATIONS AHEAD. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
