I'm getting ready to set up a new grow cabinet and I'd like to use a cooltube with my 250w HPS. The cab is 69"x25"x16". I'll be using a pyrex bake a round for the cooltube with either a stanley blower or dayton on the end.

I want to leave one end of the cooltube open to suck out air from the cab. With the size of the bulb and the bake a round, there is only a total of 1"; of air moving around the bulb. Since the source of the heat will be directly cooled by the fan, is 1"of air movement enough to keep the rest of the cab cooled or will I need to add a 2nd exhaust to the cab?

I'm trying to keep the outlets to a minimum. It'd be a lot easier hooking up a scrubber if I can stick with one outlet. TIA
