My 150 watt HPS security light transformation

Okay, so i was using CFL and fluro tubes but once i added up all the money i spent on light bulbs and fixtures and plugs and all that other shit i realized i could have bought an HPS system. but while searching at Menards I saw some outdoor security lights. So i thought, hmmmm maybe it could work.

I didnt want to put the light vertically cause i wanted to maximize the shine of light. So what i di was bought a 24" piece of 1"x4" piece of lumber, bolted the light after wiring to plug to the board, attached some hanging hooks on the opposite side and i cut the plastic shield in half. I then lined the remaining half of plastic shield with aluminum foil to maximize reflectivity. the results, a bright ass do it yourself HPS lamp. Not to mention they also have MH too. Plus Plus, the bulb is included.

let me know if this helps anyone.

Thats a sweet hook-up, I used a security light 150w hps also, bought it from home-depot $38 on sale, bought 2 infact. PS. whatever you do,,DON'T USE THAT MIRACLE GROW!!! If you do use it, atleast cut mix by 1/4 if not an 1/8, that shits very HOT!! No fert. (nutes) needed anyway for first 30 some days. Peace. Good luck!

Thanks, it seems to be having a positive effect on my plant. But it gets so hit. It's hovering around 90 degrees. That's too hot. So I need some suggestions on a better air ventilation system. Like I'm talking a DIY type of thing.

Current I'm using my floor vent covered with some plastic so I could direct all the air (I have my fan from the heating/AC thingy. It's working, it cools it to about 87ish. But i think I need a more practical method. It's an apartment so if I need to cut some holes in the drywall or something I can. But prefer not to:

Please, any ideas will be appreciated.
