not sure of the cfm rating on the exhaust
intake is rated at 31CFM.
That looks like a 120mm computer fan. Probably anywhere from 91-141cfm.
Look up Honeywell Turbo fan. I'd say it's about 9" in diameter but would probably work well in your room for both intake/exhaust.. and fully adjustable.
If you can find a smaller similar fan then those would probably be better for your particular space. Something more like 7" or so.

blah. thanks alot for your advice but I really dont think I'm ready to modify the box that much, again. I think I'm going to order another intake fan, same one that I have and just put it right next to it.
Also I never completely cut out my hole for the intake, so I'll go do that now and maybe it'll help a little
temps are 81.7 right now, but I guess thats just cuz its early and still cool in my apartment.

If your intake fan is not moving as much air as the exhaust, it's REDUCING efficiency. You'd be better off using BOTH fans in your exhaust and opening the intake to make it passive, while still allowing no light leaks.
I dig the retro stuff big time. My living room is all done up in Tiki Lounge Stylee. It's crap-tacular.

Just wanted to add for the no light leaks... you can get louvered vents from home depot that are perfect for helping to block light leaks from outside the cabinet.
I have alot of authentic Mid Century Modern stuff in my place. Talk about expensive. That stuff really get's pricey, but I love the way it looks. I feel like my house should feel like I'm on vacation when I come inside from a long day at the office. So I spare no expense (within my means) on retro stuff.
It makes me feel warm and happy inside. I think I was born in the wrong era :hippy:

Just to make sure you mean to turn my intake fan around and use it as exhaust as well as my current exhaust fan? if I do that how big would my intake hole have to be for that to work?

I dig mid c as well, and Danish Modern. I've got a couple lamps and a very sweet daybed, but not enough to do an entire room quite yet. That's coming one of these days. Especially since IKEA knockoffs can fill in the missing pieces until I scavenge some real stuff. My attorney has a SICK collection at his office including some Saarinen pieces... lol... he's kinda hot too. Makes the business at hand less depressing.
You gotta post up pics. All mine is in storage until I finish renovating my house :(

That's a good question for someone who paid attention in physics class, lol. The key is to minimize how restrictive of air flow it is. You could just lose the active intake fan entirely and see if your temps stay in range with just the hole. The body of the fan itself blocks air flow.

Yeah, i just recently put that active fan in, and originally had a passive intake. If you look right next to my intake fan you see a little patch of black plastic, thats where I covered up my previous passive intake.
So, should I just uncover that hole and keep my intake fan?
Sorry if I'm having trouble understanding this - but I assure you I'm trying to hardest :thumbsup:

My camera is sort've on the fritz (I dropped it. I'm horrible with handling digi's. Never let me handle a camera or it'll be it's doom)
I'll get some pic links of what I have and post it up in a thread in cannabis lounge (so we don't whore this guys thread) for you just so you can check out some pieces I've bought over time.
Luckily for me I live in a very "indie" part of town and there are so many thrift shops I can go to. Some of the stuff I've bought is fully restored and some of it was done by me (very shoddily).
I wish my attorney was a hot female. Instead my attorney looks like he could be a stunt double for Gimili from Lord of the rings, but my god he's an amazing lawyer. A good lawyer is worth his weight in gold, unfortunately for me my lawyer is very heavy. ;)

Big changes to the grow box!!
Transplanted the 4 older plants (bubblelicious) to new larger pots, with new soil (a mix that my hydro store makes), and FoxFarm Grow Big 6-4-4. Transplanting was such a pain in the ass, I wish I had just planted in these pots to begin with.
So I gave them 1/2 tsp / gallon at time of transplant, because I have no rooting hormone or superthrive like suggested in the threads I read. Hopefully this is okay. Any thoughts?
Here are some pics about 2 hours after transplant. I coated the top of the soil with perlite for light reflection and moisture control. They seem to be pretty happy for now, except for one of them.
