Day 12 for these little guys 4th day under 400w MH. Cabinet is 4'x4'x4' introducing outside air into cabinet with 6" furnace booster fan. With 120 cfm computer fan doing the exhaust work ( check out the temp ). The top temp ( in= room temp) the bottom temp(out = cabinet temp ). To me the temps seem ok but that dont meen nothing as like i said first go round

Those look like my seedling, which is at about the same number of grow days as yours, probably a little more actually. I'm just using a 125 watt cfl, that's probably why your plants have grown a bit faster.

Oh wait day 12, I thought it was four days. So actually my seedling is growing at about the same rate.

what is the temp of the outside air being drawn in? i have a 400hps and need 360cfm to keep the temp in the grow to the same as the temp in the house 72-77. just curious? i have been thinking about using outsuide air intake but it would just be seasonal because the outside temps where i live can get below zero in the winter and above 100 in the summer. i haven't done it for this reason.

btw nice set-up you got there. may your buds be dense and sticky!

[nemf 2000]

well ill just say my outside air temp is the same as yours probably is just a guess!!!! HeHeHe This set up is good for the MH right now but as for the hps im in the process of making a cool tube.
1. 6" booster furnace fan $27.99
2. 6"x4" reducer $4.89
3. hurricane glass $6.00
4. foil tape $8.30
5. dryer duct $6.46
6. keeping your hps so cool you can touch it PRICELESS!!!!!! LOL

i have been having trouble finding an hps socket small enough to fit in a bakers tube of a similar glass tube. what are you using for a socket(hps cord set)

[nemf 2000]

Just use a regular mogul socket and mount your socket into the duct work your bulb should be the only thing in the glass. I am only gonna use the cool tube to flower. The outside air seems to be keeping things a/ok for now. We will see how it goes.
