well everyone the last few updates for this thread are here it took awhile and just a bit of stress but i have to say everything worked out. the temps got to around 78F possibly still climbing but im pretty darn sure itll stop before reaching 84F. ill edit this post a few times tonight with the...

yeah youll be just fine and if theres any spills youve got paper towels on stand by!!! lookin good

were at just under a hour of testing this one fan, passive intake with no mesh, along with 8 cfls now, and the highest temp ive seen................................................................................................. 75F!!!! looks like we have a winner

looking great man!

no problem bro just seems like a great way to further get your moneys worth from regular seeds, i plan on doing this to have a sort of sog but not for a couple grows. i need to get a few recent grows under my belt. haha time to clean out those bins man!

well did some remodeling, that main power strip is up on the wall so in case of any spills it wont get wet. i ended up trying to hook this pvc duct idea and realized after testing the airflow that something had to be seriously wrong in or on the box. the fan moves a lotttt of air standing alone...

could you by any chance set up a room or smallish cab to keep a mother? this way you could keep an 8-10 plant sog which would be awesome bro. or if you get regular seeds you could always take a male and pollenate a female to get a ton of seeds, then just use that left over bud for hash bongsmilie

hahaha i wish i dont think my boss would think to much of me if i ran to him saying "BRO i gota get home now and set up my grow box!" or would he :shock:

itll have to wait until i get home im at workk right now wont be home till 7ish but i really hope this works. on a side note i put three seeds into germination last night, i figured if the box wasnt ready ill just hang some cfls over them in the closet

after to a ton of research and asking my local hydro store what the problem is i was given this answer. having both fans one at the top and one at the bottom is actually throwing off the airflow, i need to just have one exhaust with my 80mm fans the brand runs around 31cfm which would turn my...

no im going to use pvc pipe to get the exhaust right next to the lights so it pretty much pulls the air out by the lights first. does that sound good?

Wow that seems like a lot of work and remodeling bro. What about using PVC pipe to put my intake right next to the light? Then I'll take the intake fan and put it on the end of the PVC next to the lights to draw more heat in through the PVC out to the other 80mm fan and out the box. Then I'll...

i was just told that having the light directly on the thermostat throws off temp readings, so i covered them up and modified the light traps. i might just use a pvc like ducting that leads to right next to the lights sucking in the hot air and out the box. ill have the 120mm fan blowing from the...

temps outside can range from 65-76 the fans are on the top front and lower back. i dont honestly run the speakers at night, and my day cycle is at night. but id say itd probably add a degree or two if that. with just the lights running temps climb fast into the 90s, right now with no light...

SEEDS are INNNNN now i need to get this boxs ventilation setup right. this is what i found out. i followed this guide to help me calculate how much CFM i need. turns out i need 20.95 total... each 80mm fan is rated at 31. ok so clearly its my ventilation setup. can anyone here seriously...

i found out that i have 5.59cu feet total. thats not really that much space. so whats stopping my fans from ventilating properly

so temps hover at 91 max with lights on a 66 with lights off.. big difference so its not like the box is in a warm area. to see the set up click here maybe this will help you guys figure out a solution so to add more information the 80mm pc fans push 31.65 cfm each, im guessing theres just not...

Well I took off one light trap and that only brought my temps to 91 so maybe I need to take off the rear intake one as well. I was also told that having a fan blowing on the lights doesn't allow the light to rise and out the vent like normal so maybe thats a problem to

trying different solutions right now im not really sure what to do right now. seems stuck at 90F hmm im goin to have to get down a few more degrees edit againn. ok so i remounted the 120mm to blow directly across the lights and not at an angle. this and the light trap are removed, im hoping...

see that light trap at the top? i think this is why my box is so hot so i removed it. will see if that fixes the temps
