hey All.

I am new to the 400 club. I purchased a 600 and ran it for about a week but my temps were sky rocketing so I made a trade.
I am using 400 now so I thought I would come join the club.
my grow journal

figured I would introduce myself.
lets get growing.

Just got a 400 Watt HPS, sort of rushed and didn't really think about the heat issues:

Width = 2.95275591 ft - 0.90000000137 meters
Depth = 1.607611551 ft - 0.49000000074 meter
Height = 4.888451451 ft - 1.4900000023 meter

It is not a cool tub.

Basivally there is 150 CFM exahust and 150 CFM Intake permanently running. There is also a powerful fan that runs the entire time the light is on (18/6 - Autoflower) and for a futher 2 hours after.

Do you think I will be okay.

If there is serious concern, I have £40 left for this project, what shall I do. DIY is okay, but not as far as building a cool tube ect.

for all the 400w growers/experts

im about to start my own grow, but been helping a friend for the last year or so.

if i have a 4foot x 4foot x 6foot (wdh) tent

how many plants would a 400w bulb do?
how much would those plants give me (approx)

at the moment we have 16 under a 600w and they look awesome!

thanks

it depends how big you grow before you flower. you can pack in 100 tinny plants or 4 big ones up to you. When I have the tent running full blast I have 6 18gal. DWC tubs with 2 plants in each and I fill the tent up
