and that's not even going to be CLOSE to enough exhaust.
To put you in perspective, that fan is only 1/3 of the cfm of my one exhaust fan, which by itself wasn't enough....

I know you've seen this before. but here it is again anyways...
It takes a 250 cfm intake, air-cooled hood, 295 cfm exhaust, three oscillating fans and a 5200 btu AC to keep my room where I want it all the time.

This is what is making me think that I am changing my mind on giving up the CFLs.

check out my journal.... When you see that kind of explosive growth in two days..... I have no regrets... It makes it all worth it... trust me.
Well, No dang wonder Jonny, that you can grow such trees!

roseman dont give up on hid yet. i have a 400w and i manage to keep the room at 78 with a jimmy rigged desk fan for exhaust and one oscillating fan to keep air moving. next grow im gonna get a sealed hood with a couple inline duct fans (cheap at home depot ) to keep the hood cool.

Exactly Rose. Start Small with a 400-600 watter. See what you think. I personally love the fact that I can hang my light 45 inches above my canopy and they still grow 2 inches a day... No need to move 20 lights around every day. That sounds like just about as much fun as running up and down the stairs with a water bottle three times day..

yah, im gonna start with a 400w hps... im getting 55,000 lumens from all my CFLs... so a 250w would be a decrease and now worth the money... a 400w HPS gets around 50,000 lumes but is a little hotter... i guess i will start out with a 195 cfm from homedepot for 30 bucks and if i need more ill use that as an induction fan at the end of my sealed reflector and get a ~400cfm for the attic(where the pipe comes out)... i know that once they are cool, you can have em almost touching the plants, thats huge as far as lumens per sq watt go
