Aloha all! I'm hoping that someone more experienced can help me. I have a 2' x 3' x 6' grow tent in a closet. I have a 440w MH/HPS grow light with winged hood, but my temps are too hot!!!
Initially I had a 220CFM fan on the exhaust to a carbon scrubber, but the temps were still too high. Of course, I didn't realize that I got a booster fan! So I got a 440CFM 6", which is much better (and put the 220CFM booster fan in the intake). If I close up the tent, temps shoot up to 86-88.
Okay, so I'm thinking that I need to get an air cooled reflector for the 400w or cool tube or buy a 250w air cooled grow light. What are people's preferences on air cooled reflectors vs. cool tube? Should I try to get an air cooled reflector for the 400w (or is it too much?) or buy a new 250w air cooled grow light?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
