Well, not to spark an argument, but I for sure wouldn't agree with #4. You get better yeilds with the same power consumption and same heat issues with small HPS bulbs. Like a 70 watt or so. At least what I have noticed.
And #5 is questionable. Use as small of a fan as is necisary, for sure, don't go overboard, but you would be better off using one larger fan than using three small fans. Air exchange is better.
The rest of it is dead on though. But this is all just my two cents.
Yea,i may change my cfl's to a 70 watt hps in the near future.I'm using two 80cfm fans.One for intake (that runs with the light cycle being on)and one for exhaust (that runs all the time)
I probably really over did it for the venting system,but hey.
This is wut i was thinking for my next cab:
The dimensions of the first cab are 28x60x18
and the second is 12x32x12
I would like to find a cab big enough to run a 400watt hps.I understand i will probably have to use a cool tube due to heat issues in a space like this.I also plan on using an aero garden in this cab for faster a better results.
