Tested it:
400 watt hps
6" cool tube
6" inline fan (424 CFM)
12x12 passive intake with air filter
House is set at 75 degrees.
The cabinet is running at 76 degrees.
:thumbsup:
I am only exhausting the cool tube, it is drawing air from inside the cabinet, I did not give it it's own passive intake due to space limitations I did not think of previously. (cool tube was too wide for the dimensions I planned. So remember everyone design your cabinet around your reflector).
fuggin excellent, good job.
Again.. feeling lazy. Worked on the cabinet a little bit more.
Here are some pictures of it 97% complete.
Cabinet Closed
Cabinet open and in operation
Current temperatures 2" away from cool tube
Note: The box fan is not attached to this cabinet. It is attached to the cabinet to the left of this one; which is going to be decomissioned throughout this coming week :thumbsup:
looks great! looking forward to seeing the final steps
yeah.. I need to get off my arse and update this thread. Probably saturday or so.Quote:

I have to wait for my last plant to finish before I can really write up the final steps.Quote:

Essentially it's just like it is in the pictures right now.
The mother/clone area still needs some cfls.. the entire inside needs to be painted white.
I want to remove the seals I used and go back over with spray foam and cut it with an exacto knife to create a better seal than what I have right now.
Just all minor things. The picture above is very close to the finished product.
Very nice work. Thank you for reviewing my plans. Questions for you please:
Where/how is odor control located?
Also is the exhaust fan in a seperate area or is it sitting on a shelf?
Does the filter block 100% light from entering/escaping?
There is no odor control located here as this will be a vegging cab. However if there was a carbon filter I would have placed it between the cool tube and the inline fan.Quote:

I don't have a light meter so I can't say for certain. All I know is that I can't see any light coming out of the exhaust hole and I can't see any light coming in from the inside of the cabinet with the door closed.
