workable dimensions : height - 95cm
width - 75.5 cm
depth - 38.5 cm

i am growing a unknown seed and a sensei seed super skunk currently in veg stage ( have topped)
in soil i mixed myself ( work at a organic garden centre )
i am using as of yesterday a 300w dual spec cfl bulb and reflector ( i have a 125 envirolite (warm) and a 125 dual spec cfl aswell if needed.)

using an old xbox dual fan for intake ( didnt realise so god damn noisy!)
have a few 1 inch holes at top for hot air escape and there a slight gap where the door closes( bout 1/2 inch all the way along the top hoping to get extract fan soon
have a 6 inch fan blowing air about only on when light is on
not worried bout smell as only lodger and have 2 fields on 2 sides of my flat
temp ranges from 26 - 31 C day down to 21c at night
humidity since new light shot down to 50 was to 60

few questions : am i missing any vital requirements
: the light any good for just the 2 plants or use more?
: dimensions i am assuming will force for maybe a scrog or supercropping setup
: is there sufficient enough intake and outtake holes?
: humidity in the right range? as have got dehumidifier packs
: is the space enough requirements for the 2 plants?

I wouldn't worry much with the intake fan. Get a good exhaust fan and mount it near the top to get alot of the heat. Get your plants under the lights and closer. Start about 4 - 6 inches. Experiment but keep an eye on the temp. Good luck.

Is that aluminium foil you're using for reflection? If so, don't :p they cause hotspots and burn your plants. Mylar is way better, even painting the inside of the cab white is better.
You can get mylar from car windshield reflector thingies or in the form of heat reflectors of any kind, you should find some in a hardware store.

Air circulation is covered by the white fan, great :) You should plan on making a carbon filter for your exhaust as well, your bigger lady will begin to smell anytime soon.
I use this design, cheap, simple and effective: https://www.rollitup.org/do-yourself/101248-best-diy-ez-walmart-carbon.html

Hope I helped! :) and subbed aswell
