I made a grow fridge with a 150w hps and almost 150w of cfls as side lighting. I have tons of airflow in the fridge and the temps stay at 78f wih lights on.
I made this fridge half way threw my last grow and it worked great.
My lights came with a 175w mh bulb and im a week into my second grow so i decided to use this bulb and the temps got up to 90f. So i turned off the cfls and now it stays at 79f.
Is this normal.... Would a 175w mh be that much hotter then 150w hps. It is more then 10f hotter.
Just curious if anyone has experience with something like this?
