How do you manage to set fans in your grow box? (+)

[spliffonshik]

Hey, guyz! I've stick with my dilemma... I've got my box from carton (simple and free hehe)... would like to install 2 fans - one for intake and one for exhausting. The problem is that I will have to make holes in the box...

But having those holes, plants will get some light when it must be darkness... and this often (if not always) leads to hermies The only solution for now is just turning fans off during "dark times" and cover holes with something. But it is boring and kinda abusing...

I was wondering how you solve this issue?

Thanks in advance and RESPECT! :rastasmoke:

Wooden block underneath a phone book, underneath a came cube, underneath a donkey konga box rests my fan.

ToKAlot, so how? oh I've just noticed how deep is ur nickk... heheh just kiddin)))

KL4D4, that's sound complicated... do ya have a pic of this set-up. I've checked ur grow log but couldn't find that.

It seems that easier way is just to cover holes manually when the lights and fans are off...

An L shaped tube with a 90¤ angle in the intake, painted black inside, will not let out light.

THANKS!! gotta check for these in shops. Think it is possible to get kinda plastic water tube or whatever. Thanks again! :rastasmoke:

And yeah, this tube can be applied outside of the box or it is supposed to be only inside?
