whats the best wattage of lighting for my space?

i have a closet that is 3x5x8ft tall and i was wondering what would be the best size wattage bulb for my area. i dont want something that is too hot but im wanting to do about 6 plants total. so what should i use?

i have a 250w hps in a 2x3x6 area with 6 plants...temps are mid 80s with a box fan blowing air out on setting 2....i'm thinkin of putting a 400w in with 2 fans. I also have co2 going....

i agree with the above, a 400w with some fans to cool the plants down to the right temp. maybe a bucket of water or a humidifier in there with some co2

yeah. i have a 250 in a space 2x4x8 and i only get a good 2.5 wide area of good grow. was thinking about getting a 400 but might just get another 250. i would defintely go with the 400 if i were you

thanks for the info. whats the best site for lamps for the low price

just got a 400, temps are the same in my grow.....28000 to 50000 lumens....my plants have died and gone to heaven...haha

I have similar dimentions with my cootube 600w i just bought. Need MANY fans for air circulation and big inline fan for exhaust thru cooltube. More wattage bigger budz.............
