I have a question about 400w hids and this looks like the forum to ask.
I have just finished my grow cab and I am fine tuning the lights and ventilation for optimal temps. My original plan has always been to use a 400w digital hps/mh. I don't have one yet but want to get one in the next week from HTG. I am now testing a compact 150w hps for temps. I am able to keep the temps between 70 and 80 (about 5 or 6 degrees maximum above room temp with 2 constant 38-106 cfm exhaust fans and 2 -15-32 cfm intake fans along with another 38-106 cfm that is timed with the lights. BTW, I have installed a humidifier which helped a lot with temps and raised rh from 25% to 50%.
My question is this; HOW MUCH HOTTER WILL A 400W BE? My cab is about 4'w x 6'h x 19" deep. If I absolutely have to, I can change the timed exhaust to draw heat from the flange on the light but I would rather not have to.
Do any of you 400w experts have any thoughts or opinions on this? I would really appreciate any guidance I can get.

If i am getting a 430w Son Agro Bubbleponic Kit but instead of the 430w im getting this option
(If you would prefer, this system is also available as a 400 watt swichable system, instead of the enhanced spectrum Son Agro. This option includes a 400 watt switchable ballast, a 400W MH bulb and a 400W HPS bulb. Select this option to the left at no additional charge.)
I can put ventilation on my light so i was wondering does my ventilation kit have to be 6" as my light is or can i go with a smaller ventilation kit.Please let me know and in advance thanks

The best thing you can do is air cool the light. It should work fin by having a passive intake or a small fan if needed. Then just hang the light, run duct to it, to an inline fan, then out the cab. With the other end of the light open, it will cool your light and act as your ehaust. This will usually keep your room just a few degreese above the ambient room temp with a 400w light. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

yea thanks your's has some big stalk on it, nice. Mine was one of my party cup enteries but liked it and vegg'd it out. So whenever I started them that's how old she is I'd say around 2 or a little more. I never write down dates until recently in my grows so I can actually keep track instead of always guessing. just lazy............

Cut a couple tops off. They were more than ready at exactly 8 weeks which is awesome. Dry weight will be around 9 g's and 8.5 g's. It looks and smells better than I could have expected. It's a purple kush strain. I have it in another spot that's warm and it still got purple but not nearly like this.

Actually, it's supposed to be 75% indica but, as you clearly saw, I got a sativa pheno. And this plant was partially scrogged - she would've been even more sativa-ish otherwise. I did have a couple males that were more indica.
