i'm assuming it should be a half inch hole because they are half inch fittings

I dunno...

You gotta measure it..

Different kinds are different..

I personally have 3 different kinds...

Just measure it..

and remember ... you can always take some more out.. but never put it back...

...

dude... it's just a hole..

I say be patient and get the 600 with cooltube from HTG...

I have 2 of them and love them...

And if anything ever happens.. I KNOW they will back it 100%... cause they have...

And if you are really thinking on the 400w...

then I say look at this ballast... at least you can slap a 600 bulb in it without having to buy a new ballast.. when you decide to kick yourself in the but for getting the 400w...

HPS/MH... 110v/220v... 400w/600w...

My 600 watt tent was 20"x36"x54"...

But maybe I already convinced you to step up from the 250w...

I'm old dude.. I forget ...

but seriously...

good ventilation and you're good to go...

haha yeah you did

i am going to be using reducers so i can attach the cooltube to my 4 inch ducting. i think the 600 would be a little too much. but i would love to get the 400/600 for those "cold" nights...

I have heard good things about that ballast...

quality wise..

I, personally would never use the 400w side...

but for someone in hotter climate that would be the shit.. run the 600 during winter.. and switch back to 400 in the summer..

But still...

I recommend HTG all the way..

I am very happy with everything I bought from them...

even when shit got screwed up.. they made sure I was happy in the end...

I will keep buying from them...
