250w HPS users....

I have everything to make my grow cab. i just need to purchase the correct fan to keep my temps down...3 seedlings and 6 seeds germing in my veg cabinet as we speak. Im trying to figure out the best CFM Panasonic Whisper fan to properly cool my 250 watt. the space is small so temp control is ESSENTIAL! what would you go with? and which configuration: classic or inline?
let me give you the run down of my box so you know what I am working with and what fan would be most appropriate.
The Cab:
(32in tall x 22in wide x 20in deep)
The Light:
250watt HPS
Also have a Pyrex bake-around-cool tube.
thanks!

cooltube in a refletor eh? That reflector I've nevr seen a reflector with a smooth mirror finish like that, I think mirror finishes create hot spots, not sure.

A quality 4" around whatever CFM those are will do the trick, a 6" will work fine but will likely be overkill

So your going with a bake around cooltube? Im not very familiar with the panasnic Whisper fans, but I can probably help you out with an inline. A good 4'' inline will typically be around 160-180 CFM. The Vortex Im currently using is a 177 CFM. I think its entirely possible for you to pull it off with a cool tube. IMHO that cab could probably do with a 150 but if you could get that 250 in there I dont think it would be overkill. Are you using a scrubber?

Nice Satori - I hope mine - under a 250 of course - turn out as well. Keeping nutes and water down - seems like Satori can get real leafy.

Hey, since we're talking Satori, here are mine under a 250 at 6 weeks flowering:
I like longtime.
Is this mainly Sativa? What is the finish time on this strain? 9 weeks?
Yes, this is mainly a sativa hybrid. Also, this is a taller, leafier pheno that takes closer to 11 weeks to finish. But that's still pretty quick for a powerful sativa! I love this strain for daytime, because it has almost no body high whatsoever, and I can be productive with my day.
