gonna start my first indoor, had a couple outdoor grows that were succesful hope this one would too. gona use cfl's maybe 4, gonna decide on the watts lumens when i go shop for everything.. so im gonna use pc fans for circulation inside and how about the air intake do i have to use fan to let air inside too? any help from you guys would be a big difference on my grow.. tnx tnx

Hey,

yeah that seems ok to me mate. you don't need a fan for intake you can have that passive, make your hole for intake at least as big as your exhaust, ideally a little bigger.

Make sure you get enough watts of cfl for your grow, from experience i'd say you need a minimum of 80watts of cfl per sq ft. (actual output, not equivalent!) tho the more light the better (i've seen 500w of cfl in a 2x2ft tent recently give great results), but you can start of with fewer and just add more when you start flowering.

Good luck!

ey tnx there man, so i would just cut a hole bigger than my exhaust to let air inside thats it?great! think im gonna start with 4 27 watts cfls then 45 watts when its time to flower already.i can control the veg and flowering ryt by switching from 24/0 to 12/12 ryt? thanks again hudson88..:D
