That will be a good light and money well spent, with good extraction and passive intake you should be able to keep the heat under control.....i think lol

I would buy the hps before i bought the viapara....those viapara also give off lots of heat and wont flower a plant as good as the HPS will.

If you want to spend extra money, a grow light from( @RainDan ) Timber growlights would rock that space, as would a kit from HLG...the 135 would do well in that space....both would be as good or better than the HPS but wouldnt be as bad with the heat.

Under leds the plants need warmer temps because of the lack of IR, so it being 84-85 under leds is fine....Under hps, 84-85 and you should probably be using co2.

Looks good so far is there drainage holes in that bucket. Ice in front of a fan is a cheap option to cool room. But you just have keep replacing the ice

I hope you have a good extraction fan to use with that 400 as it will pump out heat. Your leaf edges are starting to show signs of heat stress.
Normally I run my 600 at 24" for vegging and 18" during flower.
Just my opinion. Good luck.

Where is the air from the tube being exhausted to? Out a window or in the local area? You say you have another fan for intake, where is it drawing air from? You may just be recirculating your exhaust with the intake.

I'm just guessing since I don't know the specifcs of your grow area other than the plants are in a tent.
HTH.

So the air extractor put the air în my room, and from my room another extractor put fresh air în the tent. And a clip fan to Flow air to the plant The grow box its little, only 2x2x5 i think so i know the lamp its a little bit bigger. În this moment the Best i can make its to keep the temp at 28 29 celsius and around 45 50 % humidity but with the lamp at 24 inch from the plant.

Those aren't too bad numbers. If you need more humidity can you humidify the whole room? Or if you need it more localized, you can place a pan of water close to the intake of the tent so that some moisture gets sucked in.
But like I said those temps are too bad. Perhaps others with more experience can chime in.
