Need lighting help!

[Marley15]

Hey I'm new to these forums and growing marijuana. I'm looking to convert a closet space into a grow cab. The closet is roughly 2'x2'x5'.

I am going to use the space for flowering only. I plan on buying clones and flowering them right away.

I can't decide on lighting! LED is out bcz I'm not convinced it is capable of producing adequate density.

I'm thinking of using a 250w HPS or maybe even a 400w HPS? Heat is obviously a concern bcz the cab is so small. I'm going to be using an air cooled exhaust system for the HID.

Any suggestions?

a 250 would be good. They put out around 25,000 Lumens and you want 5,000 plus Lumens per sq. ft. So your good to go with a 250 in that space.
