Warm bulbs are (2700k) are best for general growth and flowering. Cool bulbs (6500k) are best for seedling, cloning and vegetative growth

You can use 400w HPS, I do but I also run AC and air cooled hoods too.

With air cooled hoods (you will spend more money) and good air flow air in and air out as well as a good fan for air movement you can run 400w HPS lights. I don't want you to think you can't use HID lights in C-13 cabinets because you can.
thanks for the link zandor... i run a 150 mini floralux right now and
my cabinet is not even 80 degrees most of the time... i have a series
of holes cut out of the back of the cabinet where i have fans running
on the lamp all the time that its on... the fans are mounted outside
the cabinet and bring in the new air from the outside...

ive got one plant flowering now and in over a week i dont have anything
that looks like a bud... just lots of pistols... i figure the 150 HPS and all
my cool tubes may not be the best setup for getting good buds out of
my cabinet...

would the 400 watts HPS be A LOT hotter in the cabinet? i know its
over double the power, but how does the heat ramp up? would i
be smarter to maybe just "add" like a 250 watt HPS to my current
150???
