? was gonna just use 1 150W HPS, but thinking i should start off w/ like 4 or so CFL's, wattage? then w/ those add the 150W HPS later. never grew before. advice/suggestions appreciated. box is set. white inside. air intake hole in. axial inline 4" exhaust fan in. just goota decide on lighting and odor control. gonna try for diesel...hence my name.

Isn't a 4" exhaust fan a little overkill?
I'm just going to use one 120mm computer fan.
I was also going to add a few cfls to my 150hps.
Probably a mix between daylight and cool white for variety.

The more ventilation.... the better.

Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

Good growin'.

2 feet of verticle height might be a problem after you factor in your hood and light that will leave you with about 1 foot.

Hard to tell what he means as axials and inlines are two different fans. If he's using an axial, then yours is the "bigger" fan. The real question is CFM. Unless there's ducting involved 80 CFM is more than enough.
