Need air cooled hood for 150hps?

[shmow52]

alright guys my closet is 6.5'by6.5' by 9' tall. Even with that space do you think i need an air cooled hood for a 150 hps light?

No you wont. You could even go to a 400 in that space with out an aircooled hood with enough air flow.

I would put a fart fan in the ceiling (step up in price for quietness) like in the bathroom have it vent into the rafter if possible. you can always put a burlap sack of charcoal in line before exhaust somewhere at the end or before the draw? It is the heat you are going to have to deal with after she gets a bit bigger taking up space and as well you will have your lights right on top of her. Nice to have a fan below pushing up the C02 makers droppings and sucking the heat out the top. I.M.Opinion

allright how do you suggest i get air through there, would be opening and closing the door back and forth in rapid succession, w/o the door actually closing every couple hours, bc that motion would suck the air out. or basically just let it not get to hot in the closet?

What ever you want but you are going to have some heat unless you address some kind of flow. I am sure the doors are not air tight are they? Plus I would definitely put a couple of c02 makers in a closet set-up. Otherwise you are going to have lanky buds. Remember the heat will play an effect in Gender if seeding

i actually have a crawl space that would act almost as an AC, because it leads to under the house and it is easy 40-50 degrees in there,
(its just dirt) so i could have that open maybe a couple hours of day to maintain the heat,

to veg you can buy a 4 foot florescent from wall mart and buy the aquarium bulbs. it comes out to like 25 bucks. works real well.

leave the door open with a fan in your doorway to bring in air. I leave my bathroom window open and use 2 fans to piggy back the fresh air to the room

you can run your room up to 82 with gud air flow. I have four 1,000 watt light in one room and it runs at 79 to 81 and im pulling 18 zips a light
