Would this of worked?

First off - great site! theres lots of helpfull people on ere so keep doin wat ur doin!

Ok so i built a grow box after lots of research and finally finished it a couple of months ago...

however,

Soon after completion i had to move and my new place meant i had to get rid of the box :( im just curious tho, do u think my design wud have worked? i had height issues as i intended the box to fit into a work space in the loft so the box was only 40 inch high, 26 inch wide and 28 inch in width.

inside i had a Pro Grow 180 led light from Hydroponics Hut as well as a 50watt Plasma also from hydroponics hut which i never got round to fitting. i also had an s&p td160 inline fan with a rhino carbon filter.

so what r your thought on my build guys? Im so pissed i never even got to grow in this fing but i learnt alot doin this and think i cud probli build a better one if my circumstances where to ever change...

heres the pic...

I'd probably go with something a bit taller. But you could fit like 16 inch plants under there. I'd also use HID lighting.

Whats with the bend in the fan? I can't quite tell where it's going. It looks like a decent fan, but that bend is going to kill your CFM I'd try to do that a different way, I'd suggest suggestions but I can't tell if it's cooling the light directly, or if it is just going through a loop and out again which is what it looks like.
 
Hey fanx for the replies! this box was the maximum height i could have it unfortunately, but if i ever make another i would have it much taller! As for the fan, Nusky your right the loop goes carbon filter - ducting (in a c shape) - S&PTD160 - ducting - Exhaust. Ideally this would have been outside the box but again i was limited by noise issues. If this fan had to be housed within the box, what would be the best configuration of the equipment inside? Fanx in advance!
 
sorry i forgot to mention the fan is not directly cooling the light... i fink i had anuva picture of the top area... ill c if i can find it

would have worked fine just not for large plants and can only either flower or veg at one time.

why do you keep bumping this thread? people have answered your question. YES it would have worked fine
