Whats up RIU, its been a few months since I've been on but its about that time again to start grow #2. My first grow I built a large grow box (2.5'w x 6'h x 2'd) and had 4 plants finish right around 4' tall but about a week before chop the landlord gave a heads up he was coming by to make his yearly inspection which doesnt usually happen until the late summer so I didnt want to take a chance and was forced to chop em. The bud still ended up primo sativa high and finished with just under 6oz which surpassed my expectations for my first grow. However this time I dont want to take any chances so I built a stealth box measuring, 1'-2"w x 2'-10"h x 2'd, which is significantly smaller than my last grow. Last grow I used a 400w hps all the way through with a 8" 500cfm intake fan, 6" 300cfm exhaust fan, and a rotating tower fan. Temps were right around 80 with about 20% humidity and the tops were within 6" of the light and I didnt experience any light burn surprisingly.
My question is if I put a cooltube on the 400w and still used the same fans excluding the tower fan would be heat be a huge issue because of the smaller box?
My other option is to put around 20 cfls, 6500k for veg and 2700k for flower.
Including the pot height and size of a cooltube there would be right around 1.5' of growing room.
Also the plan is to scrog one plant, mostly likely Nirvanas Aurora Indica because I still have some feminized seeds left over.
Three of the pictures are from my first grow and the next three are the desk I made with the grow cab.
Let me know what you guys think and any advice or comments are welcome.
