ok so my grow box is roughly 5.5sqft without anything inside it. adding in my light traps and current lighting (8cfls) theres about 4.5-5sqft. my last grow back in the winter was disappointing to say the least i used cfls and eventually just ended up pollinating so i could have a supply of seeds for the summer. id like to start back up indoors again, and use the box as a mother/ clone grow for the end of winter into spring and then start breeding as winter approaches again. im thinking a simple 12/12 from seed but with a sog will give me a variety of phenos to pick from and ill be able to play around with genetics. but i also want to bud some so i can sample my results as i go. i like taste, high yields, trichome production and density. i was going to use t5ho bulbs for aquariums that only emit the nm that plants use for photosynthesis but thats getting expensive. id need 8 bulbs just to get into the min amount of lumens needed. so i was thinking id go with a 150 Watt HPS. heres my issue now. my ventilation consist of a single pc fan (80mm) pulling air through the exhaust hole in the back of the box. i have a 120mm fan for circulation inside but will the heat from hps bulb be to much for me? i dont want to see temps over 82F
the box is located in a finished basement. the room its in usually has a paint fan or two running though, its my bedroom and i need white noise lol
