If you can run a 1000w lamp, in you r grow space, and keep temps in the 70's, then you don't need much exhaust. However; it does help to recirculate air. You need athermostat that turns on fan if temps get above 80-85 degrees.

A 100-w lamp and ballast use approx. 11 amps. so you should not an issue runnign all you need for the small area you are using. doesn;t make sense that you are having issues in that regard.

lastly. Grow room should be 1/3 of total available size of entire grow area. this is because when you flower plants will be at least 2-3 times as big as vegged plants. One final note. You want the veg area hotter than the flower area; Always.
Yes that's correct. Just under eleven amps for that one light alone. But when I include everything else (humidifier, the fans, 8-t8 bulbs, 4 23w cfls and the exhaust fan) it doesn't leave enough room for the heater. If the heater comes on it puts me over by quite a bit. the heater uses a little over 13A on high and around 8A on low.
