hey thinkin of gettin this grow box 60x60x140tall will it be big enough for a 250w hps? what fan size an extraction should i get?
whitewillow
I run a 250 in a room 60 x 75 x 200 with a 4" extractor (with carbon filter) with a few PC fans for intake, temps get a little high during the summer but fine the rest of year. I would recommend you go with 5" extraction and 4" intake with a fan controller that way you can cover the summer temps and turn them down during the winter.

You might be able to get away with the PC fan, maybe have a second to add should one not be enough, if the PC fans don't cut it you should be able to add a proper fan easily enough in a tent. PC fans make a stupid amount of noise for what they are, and mine are easily louder than the boxed 4" ruck fan.

To be fair the room I grow in is also my bedroom (living at parents) I have a PC, PS3, HDTV and stereo all pumping out heat and I was averaging 30C in the room during the summer (dread to think what the temps would be like if we actually had a proper summer) My grow cupboard hit a peak of 34C after lights on for a few hours but would be about 26C by morning (I run lights on during the night).

As for strain, I went for Nirvana, nice and cheap so you're not loosing a lot of money should things go tits up.
