Yeah mate, im not going to ignore your advice, im thinking going bigger on the fans then using step down connectors to my 4" ducting is going to be the best choice? Do you think the fan on the carbon filter should be as powerful as the one ill be using on the cooltube? Thanks for the help.

Ill just try out two 4" vents in bottom left then, see how that goes, then go from there if temp issues arise. In terms of noise I could go with these fans instead of the RUCK ones mentioned above... They are said to run silent, however the 4" version is only 130m3, where as the RUCK is...

Thanks for another reply Bob, gosh a airplane hanger, that’s getting me a bit scared lol What’s your opinion on fresh air (from room outside the wardrobe) coming into the grow space? Will two 4" vents in the bottom left hand corner be sufficient or will I need a fan to push air into the space?

Hi reaver, thanks for your post on my thread, are you referring to the inline fan on my lighting exhaust or the fan on the general room exhaust? Or maybe you on about an actual fan for my inline vents? The fan ive selected for the general exhaust route (attached to filter) is 285m3, im...

Just wanted to say hi to everyone here. Ill be hanging around here alot in time to come as im trying to get my first grow up and running. My first thread can be viewed in my sig, take a look and see what im upto :blsmoke:

On my drawing i have a exhaust at the top of the room to draw the heat, the one with a filter attached? Or wont this be enough to stop the plants from being cooked? Mike, when you say make a inline hole in the bottom corner and attach a hose, do you mean cut a 4" hole and attach some ducting...

Here's where i am so far (ill update this post within the next few days as i build up a bigger list). Lighting ...Lumatek Digital Ballast 250W ...Cool Tube 250W/400W - 125mm ...HPS - Osram 250W Son-T-Plus - 33000 Lumens ...MH - Sunmaster 250W Metal Halide - 4000K ...Pair Of Easy-Rolls...

I’ve just drawn out a hand drawn plan to show, see if im on the correct tracks or not? How does that look? I one thing im not sure on is incoming air, I was just thinking of having some air holes (one or two) down the side at the bottom of the wardrobe, below the ballast shelf. Or do I...

Once again bob, thanks for getting back to me so quick! I’m going to go with a 250w and hope for the best. I’ve seen your thread and I cant believe your having cooling problems with those fans etc, just goes to show how all these books don’t really illustrate how hard temperature conditions are...

Here are pictures of the full wardrobe (closet) as it appears from within the room its located. Here’s the inside of the lower section with measurements. Here’s the inside of the upper section with measurements. (as shown higher in the thread also)...

Thanks for your reply Bob, I was thinking of two intake fans, a exhaust fan from the HID light and a exhaust fan with a filter from the room itself. Don’t you believe this will be sufficient? If not can you please give me some tips on where im going wrong regarding this thought process and why...

ill be using HID's , so it looks like the cuboard below is going to be a better option? ill get some pictures of that up tommorow.

Im going for my first grow and just trying to find a suitable location inside my home. Ive come across this space which is empty and wondered if there would be enough space for any type of grow? Ill be using a 8" tall NFT hydro system. If not there is a much larger cuboard below which i...
