i'm putting together a new flower cab so I can get a crop every couple of months. its 3'x2'x5' and raised up 18" to save my back. I will grow SOG style eventually.

at the moment I grow and flower in the white wardrobe to the right using 200w red and blue envirolites. it's 3.75' square foot.

I was gonna get another 200w red CFL for the new cab, but I only got them originally cos a) they're cheap and b) I was worried about the heat.

after a couple of grows with them I am frustrated that flowering seems to take 2-3 weeks longer than people growing the same strains with HID.

now I'm thinking maybe its time for some proper light , i.e. HID 400w but I don't want to get into having extractor fans and all that mallachi.

the cab is in a spare room with no heating, the passive air inlet and outlet are 40" square - do you think i'll get away with a 400w HID in there? i.e. no heat problems.

sorry about pic quality
