Will this grow box work?

Just a thought. Instead of using the 400w bulb that creates heat maybe you should look into using hid lights with t5 bulbs. Your plants can almost practically touch the bulbs without being hurt, there is a lot less heat and you use a fraction of the power.

This may be a good idea - HIDs do get pretty hot. The only real way to know is to give it a try without plants and see what happens for 24-48 hrs.

do you think that with a 400 watt HPS and the setup im planning, that the temperature will be close to ideal or do you think that they would be way off?
