This is my first post but I have pretty much been poking around on RIU for a good year. I am putting together my first grow room right now and im looking for plenty of input. I still have a lot to buy but it is coming together fast. I have a 2ft t5 light in the mail to start my seeds. I am starting with 10 regular Nirvana AK-48 and 2 feminized G-13 Labs Pineapple Express. I also have a 600w Lumatek ballast that I will be using. I need some suggestions on how to ventilate this room. My flowing room is 8'x3'x2.5-7' and my veg room is in a cupboard that is 30"x30"x4' and it will have two 2' t5 lights, how should I work out all this ventilation and any other suggestions about anything is much appreciated

What kind of reflectors are you going to use if any? For ventilation you can place an exhaust fan somewhere in your room preferably in a high place or at least above the lights. Then use another small fan that is slightly weaker (cfm's) and place it at the opposite end of you room in a low position so as to draw in cool air and have it travel upward by your plants then up and out with the exhaust fan.
Unless you plan on supplementing the air w/ co2 in that case you will want to seal you room and invest in a small portable a/c or a small 5000 btu window unit. Summer is ending and they will be on sale. There you are my friend "Git 'er dun":bigjoint:

Ill be using two of the hydrofarm reflectors with 4" ducting throughout most likely. Thank you for the info
