in my veg. cab i have 2 compartments for vegging each is 23w x 20d x 48t .. i run a 150 hps on one side and 6 6500k 42w cfl's on the other. each side has a 11" fan 1 each for intake and exhaust, plus a couple small lasko oscillating towers. temps run between 80 and 84 depending on ambient temps. the HID lays smoke to the cfl's without doubt, and temps are the same in both sides. to get any efficiency from the cfl's they must be CLOSE like 2-3 inch's, where as the 150hps i keep 12 to 18 inch's from the plants and they grow almost 2x faster then the cfl's and the plants stay short with tight node spacing where they have much longer spacing under the cfl's. honestly i am thinking about picking up a new e-ballast that will run 2 250's in 4" cool tubes and run a 4" inline fan. i would like temp's to stay right around 80f or lower, noway i can keep it that temp. now.
