that would, if I indeed understand you correctly, entail putting a tube in the lid (would just a hole work?) while putting another fan INSIDE the box facing outwards to provide suction in the interior forcing the hot air out huh.. I think thats what you meant.

now for my two 2" flouros i have a pilot whole on the other side so i could run the chords into the box. Is that sufficient?

See i bought on of those REALLY small personal fans. In my mind it works pretty good, and i had it again inside the box blowing outwards, but the heat was just too great and i substituted this fan instead.

well i think im gonna go get some soil and what not.. maybe look for some of this superthrive stuff i just read about.

adios and I may just scrap this thread, and start a new one shortly, so as to show the progression of my grow and hopefully continue to get tips and critiques so i don't fark this thing up

thanks again
Dion
