Hi Guys
I have recently started my first cab grow having grown extensively in larger spaces before. I am fairly experienced however not with growing in small spaces.
My current setup is a 2 door clothes cuboard with 2 X 105W CFLs, 1 X box fan, heating pad (it's cold right now here), venting and lined with panda film.
Only 2 plants right now, but will be growing 4 plants on a rolling cycle once I get going and get a second cab for my clones and mother.
So when these plants are big enough I will need to get a hps in there. Now heat is my big worry for such a small space. So I am only going to get a 250W HPS, but I still think the heat is going to be high as I need to have the ballast inside the cab for stealth.
My question is simple, how much cooler are digital balasts. They cost a fair bit more and for that price they really need to be a lot cooler for me or I will just simply get megnetic and better extractor fan.
Would really appreciate everyones opioninion especially if you have worked with both and especially if you have done so in small space.
