Alright so a 400 cfm blower should be fine???the more light the better if you can deal with the heat sufficiently.
i think you missed something, his area is 2.6'x2.6' thats like 7 squared feet, no way a 250 can cover it, 400w is just right400 w is extremely high for that amount of space.if u dont have the right ventilation, with venting tubes, multiple fans, cooltubes, youre gonna be in a lot of trouble.you might want to look into a 250w and get a couple extra mini lights if need be. if u look on eBay, ofc all the sellers will shout "400w 400w is the way to go" but theyre trying to move product. 400w is neither the median nor the the average light needed because everything is based on grow size. and if ur overheating ur plant, ur yield will def suffer.
Im getting a blower not a inline blower sorry if i put inline.My closet is about the same size but with white walls.
My 250 MH/HPS was perfect for my way of growing.
As the plants got taller I added a free standing Home Depot 70 watt HPS at the pot level and it grew great IMO. Still, 320 watts, but didn't need to burn it all the time and saved money.
I'd strongly suggest a real 6" blower (not a inline duct fan) with the controller. Don't forget the carbon filter with the package deal (Ebay?). Buy it once and be done with it. I spent a small fortune trying to save a buck.
Just a thought from been there...

Well i like the way you think i only want to buy what i need an nothing more an not to turn around and be like fuck i bought this cheap thing an what do you know its not good enough
and im back buying more shit.
But i have a question what is the best way to keep the temps down??[/QUOTE]
IMHO? Air exchange followed by don't over (heat) light the grow.
I'm testing a LED presently with side(?) lighting.
So far, so good. But I'm not ready to make recommendations yet.
Your signature / grow..Get a cool tube and Vent the air right out. thats what heats the space up. or just an air cooled hood. I have two 150 watters with no hood venting in a 4x4 tent and they get hot. I have exahusting and inaking from the room the closet is off of. grow is in my sig. from this experience every hood I buy from now on will be air cooled
I beg to differ. Numerous grow guides reccomend 5k-7k lumens per square foot in the right spectrum. I did the math and with my lights I'm around 2k per square foot. It is my understanding that with more of the correct light you get more dense nugs, up to a point that is. To say that Im wasting anything with tiny Hid's is misleadingYour signature / grow..
Honestly,, on that I'd have a couple CFLs and closed in with reflective panels.
you're wasting energy and grow power.
Nice thing about a light system, just like nutes, give them what they need without over doing (and being wasteful).
I start on a single CFL, then advance as needed to 4 (none over 23 watts). Then to MH and to HPS top and down low.
Cost shit to grow. And next to it for cooling.
If this LED works it'll totally eliminate any cooling cost plus save wattage by 40%+.
Meant like from beginning to end.I beg to differ. Numerous grow guides reccomend 5k-7k lumens per square foot in the right spectrum. I did the math and with my lights I'm around 2k per square foot.
