hey guys so what should i go with for a light here? a single 1000w? 600w? a 400w? or (2) 250w? and digital or magnetic?

i plan on more grows around this size, either in a grow tent or something i make thats about 5x5

advice would be great thanks!

a 400 watt covers a 4x4 area, 600 a 6x6,and a 1000 a 10x10. i myself would go with a 600 watt in a 5x5 area. the more lumens = bigger yeilds

You need a light housing or cool tube to move heat,not a reflector

well heres the problem, we have no way to vent with an inline fan.

so it would need to be air cooled

I need to get one ordered today. Would somebody be nice enough to put a list together with a website that has everything I need or was recommended?

thanks
