my closet is 3x3x10 with a 400watt hps... my closet with lights on without the ac in the room that the closet is in on.. is as high as 95 but my ac is always on so it stays at 75 while the lights are on... and 65 lights off... hope that helps

how hot would it get in a 3x3x7 closet ( width x depth x height)

will it be a grow closet or a closet in your home?If one in your home you should make sure you have some good venting maybe even a air cooled reflector so u can vent out the heat it causes.

no..not 10 degree. people do that to slow chlorophyll production to make purple leaves at harvest. a 10 degree swing form day to night may also cause pm. if humidity is high or to low. dose nothing but stress them.

you keep askin about heat but no venting info. or what hood of any. is it a sealed room. plant counts and sizes...lots determins the heat

no matter waht you do you'll need venting. Even in a bedroom closed up it would get mighty warm. You on the wet side or dry side of Wa?

you need venting to be sucessfull. youll always have heat issues then....a window isnt venting. need to exchange the air once every 3 to 5 min. htere is also more to venting than just heat reasons...fresh o2 and co2 also

haha...many sizes of closets,.

you don't have much to worry about with outside temps. I draw air in the window and vent it out the other side of the room. in the winter I just vent back into the room for heat. you'll just have to watch and adjust as needed. Oh I'm over the hill and into the dry lands. lol
