Heating/Lighting questions....

  1. Ok, right now I'm in the process of rebuilding my grow room. The new room will be 7 x 7 x 7 (343 cf). In the old room i ran two 600w HPS, heat was not a factor, in the new room i will be running 3 1000w mh/hps lamps. Each bulb produces approximately 8000 BTU of heat.

    Questions:
    If i run an air conditioner, how big of one will i need, how many btu's? I don't want it to take up anymore space than necessary.

    Would using in-line reflectors and blowing the heat outside take care of the heating problem alone?

    If so, how big of an in-line fan would i need

    Would i have to run both an AC and in-line reflectors?

    I live in the North East, so usually heat is only a problem 4 to 5 months out of the year.
