thanks FG,

Yea i was wondering if 400w would get too hot in those dimensions....to be honest i dont think she would have a problem keeping the plants under 18" with some help from me...but i don't doubt that it would still be an issue with the heat so high...

I know there are plenty of limiting factors, but which scenario do you think she would yield more in....a one level cab about 6' high with a 600wHPS or the same dimensions on the split level cab with a 250w HPS in each level? I would figure the advantages of the split level cab to be that you can put the lights closer, and have more plants/variety in the same amount of space....I just dont see the point of only making it a one level cab if she's got the height to work with....Without side lighting it just seems like a waste of vertical space to me..

Is there a wattage of HPS between 250 and 400 or is that a rare find? I suppose i could do a 250w in each and maybe supplement them with a 70w in each, or would that just be pointless?

all input appreciated..
thanks
