Thanks again notorious and pastor! About the heat I'm thinking it could be solved completely with a vented hood going into my dayton. Right now it's just a bat wing reflector. I mean its a 265c.f.m fan in a 32c.f. area so it should be alright. if I put an active intake on that might help as well but for now I'm just going to leave this cabinet until these babies are done. then I'll be moving to a taller cabinet with a vented hood. I'll take some more pics over the weekend.
Mnoutdoorz Reviewed by Mnoutdoorz on . My 1st cabinet grow log Well everything is finally finished well almost. The cabinet is all finished and up and running. We built it 4' wide x 4' tall and 2' deep. It's lined with reflectix from Lowe's which seems to be working great and it's half as much as Mylar. I have a squirrel cage fan off of an air hockey table moving my exhaust out with a carbon filter and 4" passive intakes witha carbon filter over both of them. Right now there 4 26 watt cfls in there. Temps are holding nicely between 75-78 F with Rating: 5
