Nice looking gooooood. Could you give me some pointers on the air cooled hood system? I have mine just taking from outside my tent then running it thru my light then outside again. It still gets to be like 90-95 degrees. What do you think?

What CFM fan, what kind of fan. How long is your ducting run ect. Bends Twists.

Got a pic..?

Also You cant see this in my pictures but the hood is extra sealed with alumin tape.

I can keep my temps at a perfect 79 degrees with NO AC runnin and 90 degree temps outside the house.... :)

Here is what it looks like. I have to run a/c all the time. The one side shown is the intake the other is kind of the same but I could run the duct out the window (it has a flange on it).

edux10,

The only suggestion I could offer to you is to mount the exhaust hole of the blower directly to the outside vent, and eliminate the exit tubing.

Really though that small run of tubing and that blower should be practically sucking the hot air out rather quickly. I cant understand why you are having such bad temps...

Maybe the wikid bends the tubing is taking is really killing airflow.

Great job GG---Do you have a split valve on that elbow in front of your scrubber?---looks trick..
Yes, but its not a standard Y, its the long y splitter, used in reverse to pull less air through the lights and more through the carbon filter.

When the system runs, the walls of the box actually suck in wards and create a negative pressure zone.

the intakes are the tubes on the left powered each by a 250cfm inline fan, that then blow air into the box fan and out the front of them.


Soon Going in will be 4 Homemade DIY 3x6 flood tables.

The plants are begging me to go into there pots of coco, but I have to get the tables done first...
