setting up a grow in a dresser ?

I have gutted an old dresser it measures
34 in wide 19 in deep 40 in tall.
Would a 150 w hps light be to much for this space?
Should I just use cfls?

If you can keep it cool the hps would be better than the cfl's

Would a 4 in inline fan keep it cool?

I cant say for sure, but I dont see why not.
You should wait for someone with more experience with your setup to
chime in before spending the money on it.

spend the money on an LED if you can and heat will be MUCH less of an issue.

Don't know If I can afford an led right now. Can you recommend a good one?

I have the Pro Grow 180 from Hydro hut ($309.00) but I would think you could use a Round UFO style. The heat difference is Amazing. I am also running 4 13watt cfl on the sides and they put out way more heat.

I personally wouldn't recommend an LED light, but everyone is different. A 4" inline would keep the 150 cool depending on the cfm that it has. With that amount of space, I would go with a scrog option to try and maximize your results. Good luck on your grow.

Edit: make sure you have good air circulation in that box, and paint the inside flat white or tack up some mylar.

This is a pretty nice set up

I have a 4 in inline running into the side pushing fresh air a 4 in exhaust with carbon filter pulling from the top ,inside is white, and have a couple holes in the very bottom for free flow air.

What cfm is the 4" fan? I have a 45"w x 21"h x 70"h cab with a 170cfm 4" fan that I was running at 1/2 speed with temps staying under 78*F while I was running 3 240w LED lights. However, I had to turn it to full after I added (4) 2' T5s and (4) 23w cfls yeehaw! Ok,let the flames begin from the LED purists

I agree with the scrog comment, an even canopy would make for much more efficient use of the LEDs, but I still probably would have added the T5s in the corners as they tend to get pretty shady. Here's a pic of my ventilation setup, you would need use a smaller carbon filter, like the CAN2600. It is conceivable that the 4" fan has enough ass to pull through the filter , then push through the light, then out the cab. However, unless you are going to be watching it all the time, do you really want a HID heat source in an enclosed space? if you lose the fan, you could have real troubles bro IMHO
