Hey there guys,

Going to buy my tent today and am just doing a last minute check here
Is this is possible growing scrog in a 5' tall tent with a 400hps system without burning the top of the plants.

12" for pot
12" for area below scrog net
18" for bud (not sure if I need that much)
8" between top of bud and light
10" for light system

Just wondering if anyone can give me any insight into whether these figures make sense and also whether if I was to run this setup would it be dangerous to keep the light so close to the top of the tent (nearly touching). Would it cause the tent to catch fire if I am incredibly unlucky?
Also would I need to run a cooltube to make these figures realistic (e.g. having the light 8" from the top of the buds).
Or would it just be more beneficial to work with a 6' tent? This would restrict my grow to one plant in a 3x3x6 instead of a 2x4x5 where I can scrog 2.

THanks guys!

what are the dimensions of your tent?
I can either get a 3x3x6 one, which I would use for one plant scrog, or if I can make the 400hps work in 5feet I would get the 2x4x5 and scrog 2 plants each one in a 2x2 area.

All dimensions in feet.

if you can see the fucking thing, sorry
AH its cool mate I can see it :D. Does this mean optimum light position is 6" away from the top of buds? And if so to achieve this would I have to get a cooltube or is it possible without one without burning the buds?
