Hello everybody.. im setting up a little growroom
i live in a very hot region and im doubting between
a 250hps and a 300w clf.. im going with easyryder
on a nft system.. normaly i'd had gone for a 400w hps but
temprature wise i jus cant..

ive never used a 250hps so im wondering how hot it gets, of course
ill use a cooltube with correct ventilation, annyhow i got to buy em after tomorow max
so anny input will be welcome...

cheers

This all depends on where you have your set up. If you're in a super tiny space with no ventilation, then expect the temperatures to rise. If you're seriously limited I suggest you purchase some tiny fans. There are some GREAT tiny fans at Home Depot for $12.00 (Honeywell brand name).

Unfortunately you get what you pay for. 250 watt isn't really a lot of light at all for your ladies. Don't expect much out of your plants.The minimum I would get, personally, would be 400 watt. The 250 watt won't be hot at all. You could almost let your hand sit right below the light and it won't bother you.

Hoped I helped!
