My first grow box

So basically my cousin had this barn they tore down and I asked what he was going to use the wood for he said nothing so I decided to make a grow box out of it I made a 3 ft wide 52" long and the barn wood is 42" in tall the roof my cousin designed and it adds roughly a foot in the middle and we insulated the inside with Mylar my light is a 4ft 4 bulb cfl with 6500k bulbs I'm goin to be gettin a 600 watt hps/mh light with a cool tube reflector I'm gettin a 6 in. Inline fan and filter combo 440 cfm soil is FF oceans forest nutes is FF veg,bloom,tiger bloom this is my first grow box and would like to hear any advice I can do for improvements on makin my setup better

Oh my it's a little house that's adorable. Looks good friend.

Wow, it is pretty good; you should be able to get a lot of lighting and plants in there although you obviously are going to need ventilation for such a grow box (totally sealed)

When you get the hid you're also going to have to figure out how to keep that little barn cool. Looks good though.

very nice...

I was thinkin about puttin duct tape over the layers of insulation on the inside and do you guys think 440 cfm inline fan is enough to ventilate it real well also mountin an oscillating fan on one side for additional airflow

You don't want to vent it to much. It will get dry and there would be no co2. I would be more interested in a small portable air conditioner instead.But ya if you vent real good it should get cold it there especially if your drawing in fresh air.

Hmm well on a box this size do you think 440 cfms is too much In that area? How many cfms would you recommend for it?

That thing is the bomb. The lovely things you can do in the country.
