A couple more things...

I bought the cabinet (30" x 19" x 6') , duct fan, reflectix at home depot.

In hind sight - I wish I would have bought a deeper cabinet.

I also made some 1" holes at in the back behind the bubbler to let air in.

A couple questions
1) Do you think I could put my 400 watt hps in there without adding additional cooling?
2) Do you think the existing light will be good enough at 20K lumens?

Thanks!

Kicksome Reviewed by Kicksome on . First grow and cabinet build I decided to put together my own cabinet together so I could grow. First thing I have to say is - it's probably five times harder than I thought it would be to put together the cabinet. I bought a 400 HPS light but it got way too hot in that cabinet. I wanted to be able to sleep at night so I took it out. I went ahead and put 12 CFL's in there and it's a LOT cooler. It gives me around 20,000 lumens. I also put a duct fan in there that does 500 CFS. I might go ahead and try the 400 watt Rating: 5
