Its on the way now. I would like to try a 600. But am afraid of the heat it will kick up. I can get by with the 400 with no venting.

Hey BloodShotIz I got two 400watt ,one in the cab mh and one in the closet hps.Both air cooled.I'am in a dulpex with a garage.My landlord has been cool for the last 5 1/2 years.Dont see her but to pay the rent.If something brakes I just fix it and give her the bill and less on the rent check.i dont mind doing the work and she pays for the parts.The first of the year the ac went out called and the ac guy put in a whole new unit.And it kicks.If you can keep the landlord away and you are a carpenter I say I have that part in the grow.That calculator is right on ,I pay for the two lights $45.58 just under $50.00 with pumps,fans and all.
Thanks for the posting it. PEACE

Sounds like you have a pretty good setup, Toke. Luckily, I dont get apt inspections. If they need to come in...they give 24 hr notice. Im ok.

As far as my closet setup...the most I would do is replace the door with one I could cut a couple holes in for venting. Then I'd get some better fans, ducting etc.

But I may be moving shortly...If I sign a new lease I may do it.

To bad it doesnt figure in the digital ballast factor of them being less wattage then they out put like my 600 watt digis each pump 640 watts of equal wattage output but only use about 500 watts to do so.Basically costs me about $50-60 a month running 2 of them at 12/12.My 1000 watt magnetic wasnt to bad it cost about $67 a month when on 24 hours aday before our electric increase.
