I just got The Dark Room DR120W for a veg room. I put my aeroponics cloner on one side as well as a humidity dome and reservoir. I have this side lit currently with Cfls, but am most likely putting in t5s. Should I put a 400 or 600 watt MH on the other side? Since it is only lighting half of the grow tent.

I thnk you'll find that the 400 is plent.

I have a 120W and a 240W and I only use a 600 in the 120 with no other light.

400w is more than enough for half of your tent.

I'm running a 600w HPS in a cool tube in this tent that I just finished yesterday, my temps are still a bit high (85-90) but that is because of the temperature of my room. My humidity stays between 35 - 45 percent throughout the day as well. My tent is still a work in process but my seedlings don't seem to mind it

Happy growing

Pretty good works well i'v had ambient temp's of 24c-26c and its stoping it gettting past 30c-31c (86f) vents a little noisy but its in my bedroom and it runs at night and i can sleep ok. well worth the investment imo
