I currently have a 32" x 32" x 63" grow tent in my basement with 276W of CFLs. I am planning on growing 3 plants in 4.5 gallon pots and I don't think the CFLs are enough to grow what I'm looking for. I'm trying to decide on whether I should add the 400W or 600W MH/HPS grow light to my setup. The thing is, I'm not sure if the temps will be a problem.
The basement is pretty cool, even in the summer. Inside the tent with no lights or fans the temperature is about 62 - 68°F with a high humidity at around 80 - 85%.
When I turn all of the CFLs on, as well as my two intake fans & one exhaust fan, the temperature sits around 72°F with humidity around 65 - 72%.

Would I be able to add the 600W grow light with a 6" cool tube to my tent without heat problems or plants burning? Should I add another exhaust fan? I'm also getting another one or two more fans for the inside of the grow tent itself to keep good airflow for plants & the lights cooler.
If I am able to get the 600W light, I'm most likely not even going to use the 276W of CFLs. But if I'm forced to getting the 400W light, I will add the CFLs along with it.
THANK YOU for all your time & consideration. Have a great day!
