Sounds solid man, vent the hood and you should be OK. Get the light as close as possible without burning the ladies up or being too hot, keep your water cool, and some good nutes you got it. Good luck post some pics....JR

Whats the cfm of both of those fans? And are one of those fans going to be employed to cool the light or are the both to vent the box.

I ask as a 150HPS in approximatley an 8 cuft box without a cool tube, heat could become your issue in this build.

I also dont' see any duct/vent lines in your build budget or for that matter any means to control smell, are you planning on venting the grow chamber outside?

IMHO - And many may disagree but scrap the mylar. It's finicky to work with, if you get it all bunched up while your installing it it can make hotspots.

Paint the interior completley in flat white paint. The beauty of this is that after a few grows 5 minutes with a roller will refresh the walls like new. Plus I don't cuss when I invariably bump a wall with an edge and slice up $20 worth of mylar...jes mho :mrgreen:

Lookin good bro, you should also try to add in mylar or flat white paint into your supplies. Itll make a big difference when youre growing.

Lets see some pics bro!!


Cheers :)

Sorry i meant you should get the regular mylar or flat white paint, ive heard a few things about emergency mylar blankets, that theyre not as affective sometimes.


Cheers :)

if your walls are white, then you don't really need mylar. it can cause burn spots on your plants and raise the heat a couple degrees. that would solve your heat
