Will a 1000w HPS in a 6" air cooled reflector get too hot in a room that is 4x5.5x6 if I pull air from inside the room as opposed to pulling cooler air from outside the room.
I am wondering because I would like to limit the number of holes I am cutting in my house .
I have a flower and veg room. I would like to use the air off of the 1000w HPS to heat the veg room, but am concerned that temps may get too hot in the small flower room if the reflector isn't completely sealed.
I live in the North Bay, CA, so temps don't drop below freezing too often, but I do live in an old house with no heating and the veg room has a wall that is exposed.
Check out the image, blue is cold air, red is hot air.
I know I need to test it myself, but before I go cutting holes opinions would be appreciated.
