Ok this is my first grow and I'd like the advice of those in the know regarding how to do this more efficiently if possible. First here's what I have:

Equipment
==============
GrowLab 60 2' X 2'X 5'3"
Sun System 2 HPS 400 Watt
4" Elicient Inline Fan 152 CFM
4" Phresh carbon Filter
2 6" oscillating clip on fans

Plants
===============
1 Cheese
1 Blue Cheese
1 Grand Daddy Purp
2 Grape Fruit
3 Sour Grapes
4 Blue Dreams

Temperature
===============
Daytime Average 79 - 81 F
Night Time 75 - 79 F

Humidity Average 43% - 51%

I would like advice on cooling the HPS light. Currently I have the exhaust fan attached to the light but I would like to use the exhaust fan to cool the box.

I will post pics so you can see for yourself and give advice.

I think your setup looks good. Looks like your light will stay cool to me. I'd only worry about how much weight is on that frame. The ventilation looks ideal to me, pulling your air thru the bottom, past the light and out the top. That's a really good CFM for that volume of air space. You should be fine as long as the outside room temp doesn't change too much.
Good job. :peace:

Yeah - you don't need help, and I understand you'd like to show off your set-up. Looks good! Only thing I can think of now, is patience.

If your temps are what you say then you don't have to worry about cooling the box

However you are only working with 4 square feet

You have way to many plants in there.

You will see when they grow how quickly they will run out of space.

Generally you use 1 square foot of space for each plant
