may want to get rid of the OSB / Particle Board as it is a permeable surface that can hold water, rot, and encourage mold and pests.

Beware when exhausting into a sewage vent that back flow can spell/smell problems. I would hope that your intake is not via this same vent. Keep in mind its easier to pull air than push...

Run your set up for a period of time as to allow the time it takes to gain an average for your temps/humidity/highs and lows, etc. This will give you a feel for where you are and where you need to be in order to have truly dialed in your garden site.
Now granted I am not a cab guy, or an HVAC expert, nor do I tend to lend a hand to questions that are not related to SCROG, it is a season of giving and I still don't know what you are asking but I hope this helps.

This pic was taken 2 nights ago after I snipped off the top scrog layer netting. Releasing the top scrog layer helped the plants come up so much I decided to release the bottom layer of netting as well. I scrogged so I'd get as many colas as possible, (which I accomplished), now the problem was the colas were not tall enough above the scrog. I understand the scrog helps hold up the colas when they get heavy, but I just will stake several down that will eventually need it. We'll see if removing the scrog pays off in the long run... time will tell. I'll snap and post a new pic in a day or two with the garden scrogless

My stems bare the weight of the bud as they should. My screen positions the stem where I want the cola to develop. My secondary screen supports large towering colas, and prevents them from leaning over casting shadows on one another as well as shading one side of the cola itself.

As I have a time or two ;) training prior to screening, and knowing your strain first, are key to creating your ideal Scrog. Scrog however, is a method easily made your own and can be done in a manor that results in what you are interested in as a final result. But rarely will you stumble upon "ideal". I have been doing this for over a decade...

I'm at day 28 of my grow and need some advice on when I should actually start scrog'n. (Nirvana bubblicious: Indica) These plants are bushy and I'm afraid I'm going to have to damn near flatten them to "spread" them out.

When do you plan on training them? That could help determine when you may be ready to enter the scrog.

I just wanted to show off my new set up. Those are twin 600's over a 3x7 screen with a 6" air cooling/ smell set up. I will be growing WW and Skunk in it soon. Cant wait.

Thats part of my problem; I don't know when to start. These things are twice as wide as they are tall. The tallest plant is only 9.5 inches tall. I don't know if I should try to start folding over the highest third of each plant or if I should wait until they get taller. The lights have been pretty close to the tops of the plants and I'm thinking that has something to do with their badonkadonk figure. I raised the light this morning in an attempt to make them stretch their legs.
