I'm interested in trying CMH lighting, but worried about heat. Any first hand users out there, and do they make one where the ballast can be outside of tent? What do you all recommend? Is heat a big issue where you have to invest in a heat management system.

Multiple manufactures make them with remote ballasts, I do not recommend Phantom! So a 315 CMH puts out the same amount of heat as a 250 HPS. Normal exhaust ventilation 100 CFM OR greater on a 4x4' should be fine.

Sunplix is who I just got mine from which a de 630. Heat is very manageable but I have my rooms to the point where they can be adjusted very easily. There are many cmh guys out there but id look to sunplix just because the service I received and they were answering a multitude of questions I had at the time. For you depending on what your looking to light I’d check them out.

Shit, I don't know how to set up an exhaust fan, and all that shit, but I may have to figure it out. This last grow I tried all cheap led and I'm not impressed. I did better with t5. I may go back to t5.

If you can plug in your cell you can plug in a light.

So you have no exhaust for your tent?
