Question About A Veg Tent

[motownbass]

I just purchased a 32" x 32" x 63" grow tent that I will be using for a veg room. I guess the question that I have is would a 250 MH light be good enough to veg clones and seedlings in without having to put all that extra venting in? I just want to keep it half open for fresh air with a circulating fan only. I figure that a 250 MH can put out up to 33,000 lumens, and that should get the babies grow to 16" pretty fast.

 

What you all think?

so you are going to leave the door slightly open 24 hrs a day?

 

then yeah, you can probably get away with it.

A T5 fixture might run cooler and spread more light in the space given...

I think that for the money spent on a T5 Vs. the 250 MH system, that the HID would put out more useable light than the T5. I have always used the T5 for clones and seedlings, plus they only emit 8,000 lumens Vs. 33,000 lumens that the 250Mh puts out. Or maybe I am wrong, and you have a different viewpoint on this. I would love to see a T5 grow as fast as the HID when it comes to veging, but I only see the T5 being worthy of clones and seedlings.
