125mm ruck fan for extraction, passive intakes and two 6inch circulatery fans. i believe this would keep temps ideal.

have this in my new room, similar stats 3x3x6 using 400hps (yet to arrive) and my temps are low, have primair controller on order as well, will give honest unbias opinion once its up running and operational.

what im saying is extraction is the way to go in the fight against temps. peace out : )

bairdy im sure you'll figure it out man i have a 250 w hps/mh setup and i have eight plants right now and they are doin great.. my closet is about 2ft W 6ft L and plenty tall enough for any grow i would need... all of my plants are for personale use too.. but if ya can figure out the heat issues with a 400w you might as well as get taht one, id rather have too much then not enough... i only flower at night too which really helped with the heat issue during the day when i am not home...

i also have a box fan blowing air into the closet off of the floor then my reflective hood has ducting with a 4in inline exhaust fan pullin the heat outta the hood which keeps it plent cool, two of the tops of my plants are within inches of the glass for the hood and there is not visible heat damage to the top buds at all! :mrgreen: figured the closer the better right?? i can hold my hand in between the top of my two tallest plants and the hoods glass and it isn't even that hot, just a little warm... even though it sometimes does get really hot in my apartment because i am on third floor but i just use fans from my air conditioner throughout my apartment to force the cold air into my back room with the grow op in the closet and vuela! my grow op stays about 78-82 degrees when i am home with the doors open and forced air...

if it gets too bad in your grow op area i would probably recomend the a/c idea like someone said earlier, just be sure you have fresh air comin in and then it being exhausted out somehow... thats a big issue and like they said too, keep the ballast outside the closet mine is as well..

well hopefully i helped ya out a little bit, i know its a little long but im bored so thought i would give ya my two cents... if you have any other questions you can pm me or stop by my grow and leave me a comment and i can try to help ya out if i can... this is my first grow but stop by and read it if ya got a sec it might give ya some ideas... the link should be in my signature...hope i helped happy growing everybody...peacez :peace::blsmoke:
