need help with the air cooled light

hello,
Fellas. I need some help with the grow shed. The dimensions are 20x10x8 with a divider in the middle, one side will have a 400 mh and the other 1000 hps both air coolable. I found a great deal on a 440 cfm inline fan, would this be enough to cool both reflectors if the fresh air is sucked from out side then blown through the reflectors out the back window?
There will also be a 177cfm vortex with filter sucking air in the flower room(exhausting outside) and the intake vents for this will be in the veg room to get fresh air sucked into both rooms. can someone shed some magical green knowledge this way?
Thanks to everyone who replies. keep up the great grows because this community is one of the best.

PLUR,

I don't mean to rain on your parade, but 1400w is not nearly enough light for a 20x10 shed.

You could buy/build two grow tents to put in the shed, and then use a 1K and a 400.

You should do an advanced search (titles only, not entire posts) for "1000w Grow" or something, to get an idea of the size room/tent you are looking for.

A 1K is good for maybe 4x5 max.

Im not sure what kind of fan it is but if its a 6inch inline and you have it PULLING air it will do both lights, but light cooling works on the principle that you have a small fan blowing over the globe as well as an exhaust, I have two 600 watters with a small fan blowing on each globe.

Philo, that might be the size of the shed but he didnt mention the actual growing area

There is no rain here in the dessert. The grow area will be sized to fit the lights that im using, giving me enough room for the clones and space to tend the lovely ladies.
Thanks for the info Joe. The fan is Eco plus which im assuming is a little on the low end as far as quality. I will be adding rotating fans for circulation but im worried that the vortex + filter will not pull enough fresh air in for that.

Thanks for the speedy replies .
peace

Here in the desert I'm cooling a 1000W with a 117 CFM inline centrifugal fan, so yours should be plenty... a shed it the desert though?.. If that were here I'd need some serious AC in there, simply exhausting the hot air from the hoods and the ambient hot air would not nearly be enough... just sayin'... :wave:

Thats great to hear. Its high dessert so there is always cool air, the temps in the shed are no more than 85 degrees in midday and go up to 98 with lights on.
