    4.5 feet of height. 5 feet width, 20+ feet long is what i have to work with. im worried about whether or not i should go for 2 600s though since it will be a long box but sorta small space inside. I'm thinking maybe going for 2 400's, unless someone can convince me otherwise. of course ill have the light cooltubed.

    goal isnt anything huge but it would be nice to be able to make a box that height that could flower at least 20 females...any and all comments are greatly appreciated..

    Your going to have to use scrog method but it should suffice or you could grow lowryder and have zero height issues.

    really. so you think I could fit a 400 hps in there? Might give this a try then... How much smaller would a 250 hps be? I'm thinking the 400 would be a better choice but I'll get 2 250's or better yet like 4 250's if they're smaller height wise

    As long as you can move out the heat generated, 2 600's would rock. That gets my vote. You will have to use a budbox design and bud them out smaller - use more plants. I would use SOG, but SCROG would work too. I used a 600 in a 2 bu 3 closet before. lol As long as the tops dont burn you will be fine. I would get a Co2 tank, that will help them when they are smaller not to burn.

    250s and 400s are for hobby only
