A friend of mine is planning his first grow and I am kind of helping him, or doing what I can. He is using an E&F system for 10 plants. He doesn't have internet access and wanted a few questions answered:

1) How many 100W CFLs would be sufficient for 10 plants to veg under?

2) How long should they stay under the CFLs before switching to his 1KW HPS light so they don't burn?

3) Would putting the squirrel fan intake under the hood (but not like a cool tube, just put it under the hood) do a lot to help with the heat as opposed to just running the fan in the open air.

The room is only 5x10 (he is only using about 3x2) and he is worried about how much heat that 1KW is going to pump out.

Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
