yeah 6 lights usually puts off quite a bit of heat so if yours does not cool ! you definately should not go with a mh in that small of a box then >

 

[DKskater75]

hmm maybe an air cooled one?

 

[stoneymontana]

definately that is exactly what I am talking about to someone else right now to ....

hmm maybe an air cooled one?

XtraSun 400 watt MH Grow Light

 

[DKskater75]

yeah but the holes in the tent wont fit 6" ducts only 4" plus 250w should be plenty its only 2x2 feet haha

 

[stoneymontana]

Sun System V EconoGro Mini - 250 watt MH

but i do not think this is air cooled so you probably got the best price ?? look on ebay

 

[DKskater75]

yeah i cant seem to find a 250w cool tube. they have a 175w 175 W MH Digital Ballast Cool Tube Reflector Bulb KIT - eBay (item 330141482248 end time Oct-21-08 04:50:25 PDT) or a 400w 400 Watt MH Cool Tube Economy Grow Light System - eBay (item 190241602185 end time Oct-01-08 11:43:23 PDT) but like i said i think that might be a bit much...

 

[stoneymontana]

Good luck bro !!!!

 

[DKskater75]

yeah haha. the 400w is 36k lumens though! is it possible to have too much light haha. the 175w is only 15k which is about what im running now, 250w at 23k seems about right...

 

[stoneymontana]

if you got to much light it may bleach out your plants or something ????? IDK

 

[DKskater75]

haha never heard of that before but who knows im aiming for around 5k per sq foot but 9k just seems a bit unecessary haha

 

[stoneymontana]
