noob lighting question

[chriselmo]

A 600 watt HID light in a cabinet, only 7 ft tall?...would require SERIOUS ventilation, to keep the temps under 85 degrees.

You would need a cool tube...IMO

I would choose a 250 watt HPS/MH switchable light and go for 3-4 flowering females....max. Even a 400 watt light...is pushing the envelope.

Good Luck..:thumbsup:

im going to have 1 or 2 intake and 4 exhuast fans and im also going to run a cool tube. do you think this will reduce the heat?

the cabinet has alot of space. could fit 8 plants in 2 litter pots but i was thinking of 6 first to try it out give the plant some space to breath
