I have a 3.5x3.5’ flowering room using a 600WHPS with a air cooled hood and glass cover and a 265 Dayton fan.
I would like to start a grow room that is 2’ by 2’ wide
that will complement the flowering room.

My plan is to get a 250 MH , also with air-cooled hood and glass cover.
Its not that I just want to spend a lot of money, its more that these spaces are sharing space with my bed and the 600W room (its for flowering but I’m using it to get my seeds started until I make the grow room) gets hot enough, hence also having an aircooled hood, and why we wouldn’t want to go to 400W.

The other option is CFL, but I’m very familiar with using them (iv’e read up some) and not sure what would be the best CFL setup for a 2’ by 2’ space.

If you are curious, here is a link to the whole grow:

The 250 will cover a 2X2 area fine but if you will go hps I'll send ya a cool tube (the mh won't fit) and that should save ya $100 or so. Using the tube will cut a great deal of heat out of your grow but it may take a bit of mechanical skill to get it adapted into the growspace.
