Hps temp question

Whats goin on all, first time indoor grow, i have 4 babies veggin under fluoro tubes now. Just planted on the 4th. Once my flower cycle gets here i was going to run a simple adjustable 250 watt hps system, digital ballast, not air cooled or anything. My main question is how to expect my temps to rise once i go HPS. My area is a 4x2x6 growable closet space with ceiling up to around 8 feet, and sliding doors which are handy (shelving and light prevent me from using that other 2 feet verticle space). My closet stays on the cooler side as it is winter time now (around 60-65 degrees open air) so my thought was that once the HPS was in there it would actually help balance out my closet temp which as stated, stays fairly cool. Any thoughts are welcome. Thanks guys

As long as you have decent ventilation it should be fine. You could probably go 400 or 600 with a good exhaust fan and carbon filter.

As long as you exhaust the hot air out of the room you should be ok. Also have a fan always blowing on your plants, just a simple oscillating fan should do. I'd also cool whatever hood or tube you use. Enjoy! :-)

So as far as cooling the hood, just another fan set up directly at the hood or what? I might just have to start a grow log on here since theres alot of knowledgeable people around these threads. Thanks dude

Oh okay I got you. So if I had one fan pushing hot air out of the closet and one pointing
upward gettin that hot air that sits up top I should be good?
