Please help... I have a small closet that i bought at walmart that measures 36" X 20" X 60" and need help with a light setup. What would be better 150W hps, 250W hps, or 400W hps? Planning on using inline fan that i found at this site

would this be enough to exhaust my lights and grow room.

the more light the better but to use a 400 watt,you may need a cooltube
the fan should be good for a 400 hps
if you go w/ a 250,consider some floros for side lighting

calculate the amount of luminents you will have for each light in the space you have for your flowering stage. i'd do it for you, but.......i'm lazy.....and i'm not a fan of simple math unless it's money.........ehhh.....

do 400w for sure. cool tube will make it possible. separate fan to exhaust the room and all will be fine. try to squeeze an osculating fan in there as well.

Hey, post a link or a pic of the closet/cupboard you bought at walmart, just so we can see what you're working with.
