Bulb question

[weeducator]

Preparing to start my first box grow. got this http://www.nvc-lighting.com/ShowCPt.Aspx?ID=806 bulb. Is this lamp appropriate for a grow box with 0.2 sft & 40 inch height.

And the last point - how hot it may be and what ventilation to use?

Will appreciate your input.

0.2 square feet??? im confused...you must mean 2 square feet. i would use a self ballasted 150W unit or something along those lines. 4" in line fan on a rheostat to vent.

I'm sure that the bulb would work. I know that fluros can get real close to the plant and
T5's work great. Give it a shot and tell everyone how well or poorly they do. Good luck!
