Should this light setup work?

I would add some side lighting to help with penetration unless your growing dwarfs. T-5's are nice for that or you can use CFL's.

Youll be good. Depending on how closed off your set up is, I would definately invest in more fans. In a closed area, those HPS can get hot as hell.



Good luck bro, and be sure to keep us posted. Hope this helps.

Thanks!

I found some fans rated at 168CFM: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835705051


The grow space is the left side of the cupboard (the empty part, im going to fit a gorw tent in there)



They are rated at 168CFM so they seem to be pretty fast and good at circulating air.

Hey Luke...yeah man, you'll be str8....

Those 2 4" axial fans; are they being used to cool the lamp (inline duct flow) or just an O2 exchange? Either way, grab yourself a cheap 6" clip on oscillating fan to circulate the O2 within your chamber

Thats what set up I have on my 400 watt setup with a 2'6" x 2'6" x 5'5" grow tent....and my temps stay at a nice 82 degrees farenheit lights on...

to figure out how big a fan you'll need is to do some simple math:
find out the cubic ft. area of your space (length x width x height) thats your cubic ft space...mine happens to be roughly 49 cubic feet.

O2 only really needs to be recycled once every 5 mins...but I keep my fans on continuously while my lights are on.bongsmilie
