I have a 4x4x5'9" closet built in the basement. The current temp with no lights is 70 degrees 49% humidity. I plan on running a 600w HPS solarmax in a vented hood with a 450 cfm inline fan and passive inflow. I am filtering intake with furnace filter that is 16x25x1. I will have a 20" box fan drawing in fresh air through that. What I need to know, is with the described set up, what kind of temp increase will I see?

Thanks

Get a fan speed controller and dial it in with the temp u want. Im runnin a 600 w hps right now and my fan is turned way down and it keeps the temp around 75.

You should be about 5 degrees hotter then the room, that's not a fact number or anything but with your set up and if you get the hot air out of the room you'll be fine. You don't have to have a speed control on your fan but for the $20.00 they cost you get a lot more options with what you can do.
