alright i have a dresser , about 3' wide 4' high and 16 inches deep.

Now im trying to decide on how to set this up. I can either go cfls and computer fans or i have -

170cfm high velocity inline fan from htg with fan controller ...

250 hps , shitty 4 sided reflected ...Do you Think a non cool tubed 250hps could fit in there or am i running a serious fire hazzard by doing so?

cheapest cooltube on htg is about 100$.. http://htgsupply.com/Product-CoolTube-6in-Reflector.asp

but if i baught a cooltube wouldl my 170 cfm fan be enough? or should i buy a seperate fan for the light? ..i think i see people pull air through carbon filters into the cooltube and then out the room , or is this just going to damage the fan from the hot bulb light...

i was thinking if i had to buy another fan id get this - http://htgsupply.com/Product-6in-Inline-Duct-Fan.asp For the cool tube would this be enough ? 250cfm..now woul di put this pushing air through the cooltube or pulling air through the cooltube?


guess im really just paranoid about burning my house down , somethign about cool tubes scare me lol.
 
Go to home depot and get 2 security lights. You could probably do with 2 x 150w or 2 x 70w HPS and open them up and convert them for growing. You can mount the ballasts outside your dresser to reduce heat in the grow area. You can do a DIY cooltube https://www.rollitup.org/do-yourself/8502-build-my-own-cool-tube.html
With 2 lights instead of one you can get more even light distribution.

If you want to go with CFLs then I would choose the PL-L system [FONT=&quot]http://forum.grasscity.com/general-indoor-growing/189685-best-stealth-lighting-system-pl-ftw.html[/FONT]
 
really dont want to waste to much money , i want to try to get that 250 in there lol

i already own the 250 hps and 170cfm high velocity fan.
