| Hmm.. I would be tempted to try and work the two 250's in there in cool tubes or something. If you can keep the heat down, i think having two individual 250s > than one 400. I think you would get better light coverage and potentially would be able to have plants of different canopy height or stages with the two 250's. Personally, I have one 400w in a 20" deep x 48" wide x 72" tall cabinet.... I have also thought about popping a few t-5s in the cabinet running vertically on each side wall. I think it would be over kill and make my cab space shrink pretty quick.

I should really vent both to the outside to exhaust the heat. My 400w hps heated my flower cabinet to 98 degrees prior to putting a tempered glass in the reflector to make sure all the heat went out the exhaust. After I put the glass in.. it runs at 82 tops.. I expect it to be much lower in the winter. Sounds like we have similar areas...

| Okay, here we go me playing devils advocate. I have a 400w MH light with a conversion HPS bulb on now for flowering. My space is 7.8 ft hi, 4 ft wide, and aprox 4 ft deep. This is my flower room only. My space is in a former cold room, and I have a 6 inch vortex with a T'ed exhaust. working on the cabon filter. This room is long, and I have about 15 ft outside of that, for my veg area etc. all 4 ft wide, long and narrow. LOOK HERE to see how I set it up, Chiefa. Lots of info and different ways to conceal vents etc. I hope it helps you. http://www.greenpassion.org/f24/my-l...91/index9.html IF I had my druthers I would of bought a 600 watt hps with a Sun System Cool sun reflector. Here is another discussion by people that know what they are doing. http://www.greenpassion.org/f23/1000...question-3368/ For your space, 1000 watts would be too big, but you will not go wrong with a 600 watt one. even a 400 watt one will be fine. And one is fine. In my opinion. In my opinion it is also worth while getting one that is convertable from MH to hps. I have heard differeing opinions on this, but that is my thought. Just hps works as well for veg and flower though. Hope that helps you sweetie. Peace.

| Im no expert but I think it might work out something like this. 2 - 250 = 500watts and about 45000 lumens. A 400 is 400watts and 50000 lumens , (based on the bulbs I have) ,Seems to me 1 light would be better. Although with 2 lights you would have the ability to set them at different elevations. This is a good question that I am sure quite a few people have asked. SO what is the answer? | ||||||||

| You can adjust the hieght of things, with buckets etc. and the light goes in a circular shape, so you can round out your plants. Like this: Taller ones at the edges, shorter ones underneath, etc. It is all handleable. These pics are only 5 plants.
