well im swaping the cfls for the hid for flowering and was wonder what my temps should be in a 5x5 closet. the only fresh intake i have is a fan box i made that has a 2inch cutout at the bottom of the box thats pushed up to the inside of the door so it will pull air out from under the door.
Hey..... I am using 2x150w HPS for flowering, my closet is about 4x5. I found that by hanging the light by chain directly over the ladies w/ my box fan behind them, up on some milk crates, blowing air at the lights and towards the door my temps never get above 79. Check the pics...I have since moved my fan up bout a foot higher b/c it was whippin my ladies bootays. But as you can see the 150's do a pretty good job. Hope that helps
