My cab is 20"deep, 18" wide and 23" tall with a Phresh 4x12 filter. My fan is Soler & Palau td-100, 57 cfm on low, 101 CFM on high. Specs are here. http://www.rewci.com/4-inch-mixed-flow-duct-fan-soler-palau-td100.html

If you were to pick lighting for this 12/12 grow, which lights would you choose?

How well do you guys think this 150w hps would work? http://www.htgsupply.com/Product-HTGSupply-150w-High-Pressure-Sodium-Grow-Light

If that one is not a good idea for a 12/12 or for this size cabinet, then please suggest other lights that you believe would work better and where you would purchase them.

Thanks.
 
I got a area roughly the same with http://www.htgsupply.com/Product-HTG-Supply-2-Foot-2-Lamp-PL-55-Tek-Lamp. But I am not doing it 12/12 from start. I believe doing it this way reduces final yield, but yet you can finish a plant faster. to me, it doesn't even make sense to do a 12/12 unless you have a shit ton of plants and NEED to put out a product for patients or similitude.
I myself am thinking of getting a 150 Watt HPS with a cool tube and a 1.5' X 2.5' X 3' tent and slap it all in there for scrogging for myself. HPS get fucking hot. over 400F so you'd need a inline fan that is noisy as fuck and I can't have a noisy anything! So i am sticking to a t5 light for now. it's suiting my need's. I'd also go with OVER 2' for a HPS as you'd want some space for the lights and pots.. get some paper and draw out blueprints. 1.5' a plant, 6"-12" for the pot sizes, and whatever size for the lights.... yeah, you are now getting the picture huh?

Just keep brainstorming before you impulsively buy shit and start running into headaches and then need to buy more shit.
