Hey guys,

I have a 70CFM inline fan and I wanted to put a HPS grow light in there instead of my CFL's.

What option do you guys think I should choose.
-150Watt HPS/MH
-250Watt HPS/MH
-1x125Watt CFL & 3x26Watt CFL's

which one can I use and keep my temperatures not too high in the tent?
 
Doubt you'll be able to do it man,I don't think you could even physically fit a cooltube with ducting and stuff in there...its a VERY small space,a large wattage (125w) CFL would probably be your best bet unless you live in the Arctic or something.
 
Dimensions:
Assembled: 2' wide x 2' deep x 5'3" tall / 16" x 16" x 47" tall / 60 x 60 x 160cm

With these dimensions I would suggest using a 150w HPS with external ballast and cool tube if you can find one to fit.

250w HPS w/ external ballast are useful for 3x3 areas but let off a fair bit of heat unless you have access to a cool tube then go for that option. (making sure your 250 fits with your cool tube.)

I would recommend using CFLs
 
Okay I'll go with the CFL's. One day ill make a reflector of some sort that can hold my 125watt cfl + 6-8 23/26/or43 watt CFL's

Thanks guys :)

My tent is only 3'11" tall & 1'4"x1'4"
