Hi all!
This is my first night posting after having been lurking for months! I am in the market from switching from MH/HPS. I've already invested a lot of time and money into my set up and want to get it right this time. So any help at all would definitely be greatly appreciated!!
Grow Room set up :
Lighthouse Hydro Grow Tent - 2.5' x 2.5' x 5'
Closet space tent is in: About double the volume of the tent total, so the tent takes up a little over half the closet with very narrow space where the exhaust is.
Previous Set up: Failed because of heat issues, 95F+
400w MH/HPS w/ Cooltube reflector and 6" 400 cfm inline fan
Set up trying to achieve:
Lumigrow Pro (either 325 or 650, preferably the 650)
Less than 250 CFM Fan
Maybe some additional 26w cfls for around the sides/bottom of grow tent (or 42w cfl if reccomended? Research I've done says that 42w and 26w cfls have about the same efficiency)
Question:
Is heat an issue at all with the Lumigrow Pro 650? I am on the fence about whether to get a 325 or 650. Is money the only driving factor for most people? Because overall I feel like the 650 is definitely a better deal so I don't know why the 325 would be so popular. The only thing that would make sense is heat?
I'm in a very confined grow space, my grow tent (2.5' x 2.5' x 5') is stuffed into a closet grow so there isn't too much air space outside of the tent (maybe a maximum of the same volume of space outside the tent as inside). I can circulate the air but I figure my experience with MH/HPS lighting has been that the entire grow closet was getting too hot (95f+) on a 400w MH/HPS with 400 cfm fan.
My question is whether to get the Lumigrow Pro 325 or the Lumigrow Pro 650. I plan to use a fan with less than 250cfm (since my space is limited I figure I can save on the added noise, since theres not too much space for hot air to go anyway). Do you think I could keep cool temps with the 650 given my circumstances? Will the 650 give me a greater yield in a 2.5 ft x 2.5ft area?
Thanks
