Indoor HPS grow box questions!! Help PLZ

[OGchexmate]

wats up every one i was jus wondering if i could fit a sun system hps 150 in a grow box thats 22"(L)-16"(W)-22"(H) and will it get to hot if i have a 120mm ac fan runnin for exhaust and passive intake holes? Also for a space so small do you think you would be ok if i used three 2 gallon smart pots or should i jus use smaller? One more question lol how much should i expect to yield from 3 afghan kush ryders in OF and using technaflora nutrients...im experienced jus not with autos i kno deres a learning curve i just wanna kno wat to expect

Hello OG I use a 150 sun system myself, in a 5x2 closet ! I dont think you would have enuff power to do 3 plants, 1 plant would do great max 2 !! Plus i use a cpl 42w Cfls for added power!!

Have you considered a small led for that space? Say a 135w blackstar? Would be perfect for that area... I think the hps would run to hot... Also
Height wise you'll have to definitely lst. Also as far as plants two max in that size... Will have to be small pots... May a 1gallon smart pot two of them would fit nicely in that space and area...yield is hard to guess to many factors to figure in, in that size space two plants I say 1 oz... Though just a guess... Best of luck, look around site will find tons of info aNd teks. Sending good Karma your way! Welcome to AFN!

i grew in almost the exact same measurements, except i had a lot more head room, which is what is really going to be the challenge with that set up. i used a shit ton of cfls and even they got a little hot. i think the best option is definitely a LED or CFL's but its hard with that height because even a skinny 3-4" LED will cripple you down another 6-7 inches, leaving you with hardly any room at all, especially with the pots. like they said you may have to LST, but honestly if i were you, and that was my only option of growing, i would go to the micro section here on AFN and study up! those guys grow in real small places

Thanks everyone for the repost I'm probally goin to get cfl nd still use 2 gallon smart pots cause I can easily fit 3 I already tried but I was really hoping I could use hps because I already have it
