So i got my stealth box size decided at 20w x 30h x 22d. This gives me 3 square feet to work with which equals a 150 watt hps (Or 100 watt with CFLs???). Now everything from the box, to the lights, to the vents, and to the carbon filter will have to be custom because of budget restriction. My question is can i get away with mounting my light to the top of my box with out losing too much power (because of distance)? This would mean the light would be fixed at 30 inches above ground level the entire grow. In my diagrams if i mount the bulb assembly to the roof (making it nonadjustable) my heat situation will be completely gone as i can individually vent the bulb and ballast together easily with one fan. If i choose to make the light adjustable im worried that i will not be able to keep my box at or below fair temps (assuming 84 max is fair). Would just moving the plants closer to the light by stacking items up under them be logical? At this point nothing is in stone so all comments are welcome. The size is the max i can do in my situation so only smaller is an option. Btw can someone tell me how loud inline fans are? I had a dual pc fan vent idea for exhaust but if those fan can be damn near silent ill pick one up.
