Hey guys, I currently have a 60x60x80H cm cabinet with 2 12cm pc fans to cool a 125w 6400k cfl under a reflector. Is responding lovely to topping and LST.

Currently one White Rhino plant the cfl is doing ok but the growth rate is really slow and since I need to purchase a cfl in 2700k to flower I'm looking to do better. I'd need to get supplement lighting too so more $.

My plan is to use the 125w cfl in a new veg cabinet and upgrade the light and add an air filter kit in the current cabinet... But upgrade to what? I just want nice smoke for personal use and have a perpetual 2 month veg, move to flower cabinet for 2 month flower cycle. 2-4 plants per cabinet will work nice I think, I'm not interested in automatics right now and can clone as I need to.

My height is limited to 80cm, which should be good for a 150 or even 250w hps, I should have room to fit a cooltube too, will a pc fan be enough to cool it? If not is there a suitable fan which will cool the light and remain silent?

Maybe there's a LED that will suit the 60x60cm footprint and have enough power for tight, frosty buds?

The second pic is 8 weeks from seed (my clones should have nicer growth) and I think now would probably be a good time to switch to flower... If I had the flower lighting organised.

Many thanks and much love, I appreciate the help :)

I have close to the same dimensions and run 10 7 watt cobs as a top light and 4 5 watt strips as side lighting. At full power my single pc exhaust fan runs full time with no filter to keep temps below 80 f.
