Hi!
I have a closet gutted out lined in plastic around the floor and lower walls and it measures 22"x6'x5.5'. It had sliding doors but I took rhem out and made a fourth wall out of panda plastic and cut a door flap in. I bought 2 400w hps lights for it with open air reflectors that came with them.
Turns out it got way too hot in there with both so I took one out and am usong it for veg insread of my 250 mh.
My plan is to get new reflectprs at the end of this month and have come down to three choices. The euro reflector (for its price), the easy cool 6 ( seems like it may be designed a bit better), and the air cooled supernova (rhis one depends on if you can only get it with 4 inch ducts or not).
I'm also planning on getting htg's 6 inch exhaust fan (424) cfm. No need for carbon filter in my situation. Ive also thoight about cool tubes but I really want as much light going down into this narrow space as a possible.
I was just hoping some of you guys may have had expirience,with any of these three hoods. Reason I'm going through htg is because I dont shop for anyrhing online and all the other shops have pretty ridiculous prices around here.
 
If I could find something like that in a store for that much under suggested retail id buy it.
Alas the only grow shops around my area ussually want quite a.bit over the suggested retail price.

The reason I'm going through htg isbbecause they match their online prices in store (in my closest branch anyway). And the cheapest air cooled reflector I could find at other grow shops was $139, and $137. Both of them were the euro reflector and quite a bit cheaper than any orher hoods in the stores.
 
No shop is selling above retail.
There has to be one that will even give you it a bit under retail if you let them know your thinking about purchasing online.
I am in the stick where the grow shops could have you by the balls but they realize what the internet has done to prices and want to sell products.
I would check around a bit before ordering
 
Those prices I said earlier were from the only three grow shops within 75 miles of me or so and im not going to buy online. And those euro reflectors are the only thing they have thatll be under $200
 
Have you considered going with T5 HO's? It'd be great for filling light in your grow space and depending on how many you have will be cooler than going with HID's.

T5's would also allow you a bit more vertical room too.
 
I actually have a 216w t5ho panel and though I like it, it doesnt have nearly the same penetration as my 400w hps lights or even my 250w mh.
