Hey guys, first time grower here, ive been through the forums trying to get as much info as possible. I wanted to put what I had planned out there for you guys to comment on and let me know what could be improved on.
Ive got a 3'x3'x6' veg room, ive got a 250w mh setup from my aquarium I was going to use. I also have 5 cfl bulb fixtures with "Y" fittings so I could have up to a total of 10 CFL bulbs. The plan is to have 2 mothers and about 4 clones vegging at a time. The cfl's were going to be placed above and down between the plants. Here's a couple of diff cfl's i was looking at using.

First question is will this be enough light for veg? too much?
Second, I live in hawaii and have reg temps of 85deg during the summer. Will the heat from the MH not be worth having the light? Should I just go with an all cfl veg room?
I was going to use one intake and one exhaust fan as well as a small fan blowing in the room.
Anybody have a similar setup? Whats needed to keep your room cool with that amount of light.
Thanks
