Okay so I've got a 80x80x160 grow tent with 5" cool tube 5" fan and a 5 " ram carbon filter all will be one set up. Carbon filter>ducting>cool tube>about a foot of ducting outside the tent to a 5" fan pulling air from the tent creating negative pressure..using the passive intake vent.. btw the tent is in a brick shed with a 13a extension up to 3000w unwound. . And a 6a for the fan on separate extensions from the house which is hidden... and fully waterproof.. the 13a will be use to power a 600w hps.. ive tested the lamp and ran for 10 or so minutes... and fine...just wondering would a 600w be too powerful for small amount of space.. I have a spare 4 " fan just in case it gets too hot.. my seedlings are on day one they are feminised fast and vast auto flowers under a 200w cfl for 18/6 for about two week then going under the hps. I know there supposed to be under more light when flowering but can I get away doing 12/12 also going straight into there last pots as they don't like to be transferred to other pots..nutes ill be using is bio grow and bio bloom.. as my soil I have coco bricks... this is my first post... also can post pics..
 
That 600 will heat it up quite a bit even with cooltube depends how cold ya intake air is
 
Just try it n check temps but ya need atleast a 1 foot gap between ya light n plant then there's pots don't leave much room for bud.
Check out scrog or lst this will help u in a small place

Done lst before pretty simple thanks anyway :) also there auto flower so wont get that tall
 
I would go with the 400 tbh pal
Done 2 plants with a 400 got about 2 off each.. which was my first hps grow..but ive got 5 seedling ive checked space with the pots and there more than enough about quater of a foot between each and there 10 litre.. would a 400 do 5?
