hi, i was given these for free, they are somewhat coming apart so i will find a way to glue it up. But i have 5 6500k cfls and the necessary lighting stuff, they have about 2-3 inch holes, 2 on top and one on back wall. I hang The light from one of the holes on top. I am goin to paint it today flat white, but there is still a problem. No ventilation, but i do have 30 bucks left for the cab budget, and still havent gotten nutes, so is there a solution for me? I can drill some 2-3 inch holes at the bottom for a passive intake, which the cab is right besisde my floor ac vent, but its winter so that willbe mostly heat. Any help out there?
btw once seeds are done in jiffy pucks im putting them in the smaller cab in pic 3, which is 3 foot long, 1 foot wide, and 3 foot tall. the bigger one is not even in the house and is not bein used.

I think if u buy a 6inch Inline duct fan You should have 2x's 6in Passive Intake holes. Or 1 12 Inch Passive Hole. Dont quote me on this but i do believe this is how passive is spost to be. At least u are getting a decent fan for exhaust

with duct work 90 deg bends in an s shaped painted flat black on inside or make a diy fresh air box.
the duct work/pvc tubing will be way bulkier than a fresh air box
