I have a grow tent something like 36x36x72 in size. I placed it outdoors rather than indoors with the idea that it is MUCH cooler outside. Its under cover so no direct sun at all. Also nice and dry if it rains.
I got a 600w light that came with both a 600w MH and 600wHPS. Starting with 4 clones which are about 6" now.
I have one 6" duct fan blowing out of the tent, and a smaller desk fan inside.
I started with the MH bulb since I was told these are superior for the veg state. However this morning the tent temp was 93! And it was maybe 62 outside.
So I switched today to the HPS which I hope will not emit as much heat.
It seems you would need an actual AC unit in the tent to use the MH bulb?
