Would this room get too hot?

Just a couple questions regarding an air cooled 400w hps in a 2'x2'x5' grow tent. I will be running a 165 cfm fan attached to one end of the light hood, and since I only have one fan I plan on leaving the other end of the hood open so that the fan can also suck out the air of the entire tent. I'll have a passive intake, and the grow will be in the attic. I plan on starting in October (I live in Michigan) so it should not be overly hot up there.

Do you guys foresee any major heat issues?



Thanks in advance. ​

I think you should be ok. The temps in the tent should be right around whatever the temp is in the attic. As long as the fan is good enough, and the temps in the attic are ok, you should be fine. You might have to get a heater up there when it starts getting cold.

Yeah. Good thing is that it's a lot easier to heat the room than it is to cool it down.

Appreciate the input.

I've got a 2x2x6 with a 250 cfm and passive intake in south florida were the ambient temp is around 80 F. My room runs around 85 F with a passive intake so you should be fine
