HPS question

[Marc Benson]

4'x2.5' closet. Maybe 2-4 plants. 250 or 400? And do you think you could remove enough heat with small fans blowing out the door?

And how about chrome or white reflectors for the hps. Which one do you think would work best? Thanks!

10 Sq. Ft... = 3 good full plants.
go with 400W
As far as the heat....it all depends on the ambient incoming air temp. 400W is not difficult to cool with GOOD fans.

Reflectors are debatable...but always go white if you can on those.

marc, I have a 400mh and a 250hps they are perfect for that size room ...I go with harddon 3 plants full grown will fill that space, bigtime. the 400 w is rated to a 3x3
coverage area 9sf and I can keep my room at 85 max during this heatwave in the south...normally, I bypassed questions about heat control, because my room is ac'd,
but the ac is on the fritz 110 degrees heat index...records yesterday and today in my region...and I am running both as well as 2 45w cfl's so your looking good, man.
