need to know your growing medium first dude..... makes a big difference between hydro, 2 gal smart pots, and 20 gal airpots lol

i have a similar cabinet with t5s, i would think the hps would cause problems wihout excessive ventilation/cooltube

Whether you believe it or not hps puts out less heat than cfl. If he has 10 23w cfls going he could easily handle 1 or 2 150w hps lamps.

its getting winter so heat will not come into play im sure//will attempt some in small 1/2 gallon pots for purposes of getting seed and the rest in 1 gallon pots in soil this time around for a few smoking buds---intend to buy a 2x3 x5 foot tent after light purchase to play with
