i started with just a 4 inch duct fan but it wasn't strong enough so i switched to a 465cfm squirrelcage and i did not use clean outside air, the cooltube actually was also a second exhaust fan. my cooltube looked like yours, mine was a pyrex bake-a-round bought on e-bay.
Sorry for the delay in updates my life has been filled with so many annoying things that i havnt had chance to get some good shots and get them on. However now im back on track. The plants seem happy enough after the smallest one ate too much food and got locked. The other 2 took the food very well. My friend hasnt seen my grow yet but he will like what he sees when he does. The box has come a long way since the olden days with the garden growing fiasco of 2003 to now.
My friend will save so much money as he smokes over 1 ounce a week. NO MORE TRIPS TO THE DEALERS!!!!!!!! wooo hoo.
Since the last update ive changed the inlet fan a bit. So that now it draws air in straight from outside the cab and into the lower canopy. When the screen goes in I hope to add another inlet above it so that the airflow will remain nice. as for now the plant only smells a bit so im using the main fan as a cool tube/main outlet (smelly air).
Here are some pics of whats going on!
All comments welcomed!!!

hi guys just a quick update. the plants are doing fine
and all is well in the box. I have got a chance to get
a 5200k metal halide conversion bulb for my grow. does
anyone have any expirience with this light?
Im planning on going hydro next grow and seing
what system i can build. Soil just seems to get
in the way to me!
PEACE!
looks great! i've used a 400 mh conversion with my 430hps ballast to veg a week or 2 extra to fill the screen before going to 12/12 with the hps. btw it might not be a bad idea to use the mh for the 1st 7-14 days of 12/12 this will minimize stretch and help keep the screen from getting too full before the plants "crown off".
