/////Too much light?//////

omar924 · May 6, 2013

I have a 62''x20''x36'' and a 600w HPS. Is this too much light or can i just get a good exhaust system? How much CFM would i need?

im assuming thats 5 feet long a foot and a half wide or deep and 3 feet tall?

i mean thats the measurement of the tent in inches so divide the numbers by 12 to give you feet. so 5.16 x 1.7x 3

Got that, but is it 5ft. tall or 5 ft. wide?

AtomiCronic · May 6, 2013

that should be ok as long as your moving enough air, say 300 cfm

i was assuming 5 feet long...

i currently have a 240cfm. You think that would work?

AtomiCronic · May 6, 2013

no a 600 is prob gonna be to much in that small of a footprint

raven1290 · May 6, 2013

You could do it, granted a 600w is a bit overkill, but would still work if you already have it. Problem is only being 3 ft. wide you don't have much room for a hood with ducting.

AtomiCronic · May 6, 2013

your hood would have to be very narrow, the fan might work as long as your temps aren't over 80 at canopy level

AtomiCronic · May 6, 2013

Also id put the fan on the outside of the tent to save room

taipanspunk · May 6, 2013

600w is over kill, the small area is going to get real hot unless you have good ventilation...

raven1290 · May 6, 2013

If you can fit it, I'd do a straight through setup like this with a 4" or maybe 6" inline fan.

AtomiCronic · May 6, 2013

6" ducting for sure on a 600w

I agree, but I assumed he already has the 600w.

hot hot heat, and I'm not talking bout the band!!! From my understanding (not experience).... air temps just need to be appropriate, so YES...If you can vent it, It will grow!! Oh and that's a "field of dreams" reference, and a kinda decent band + weed reference all in one....

this is the hood i have which fits perfectly in it

raven1290 · May 6, 2013

That would work, but I think you'll need to do the staight through setup to sufficiently cool it.
