400w HPS Heat Problem, HELP!

Yes Sir.

It'll heat up whatever room your exhausting into so it would probably be a good idea to exhaust to another room, attic, basement or outside.

Keep posted on how it goes.

Peace.

i chose the 19" cool tube with the full sized wing reflector on it from HTG... so pairing my new 6" inline with it should put me in the zone i need to be at if done correctly right?

sounds like you got there in the end
don't feel bad though so many folk when starting underestimate how important a good quality extractor fan is
powerful enough to create an airflow around the plants, that ensures Fresh* air always passes over them
essential for healthy fast mold free growth, let alone the heat issues
hope it all works out well for you

peace

i forgot to mention that the room my tent is in is a 16' x 7.5' room that is connected to my 16' x 18' bedroom (via door way with no door)
and the bigger room is air conditioned (which also cools the smaller room where the tent is) which is why there is no door between the
two anymore i planned ahead for that situation lol.... i think its the only thing i didnt run into a problem with

may be you can try LEDS , my buddy. it will not produce so much Heat problem.

leds are crap.
use a cool tube with an in line fan you will probably find it harder to keep the heat up.

im not a super experienced grower, but i do agree that leds are crap... im way more drawn to HID lighting.

ive tried leds, cfls, and hids... and always end up using an hid light lol
