Thanks Disco!! She really is a beautiful strain...I'll explain my system after my replies...
Thank you troyca1!! Greetings from Canada!!
Thanks StupidBoy!!!:tiphat:
what you see in the pics is without the back wall put on yet...its easier to work with this way...
there are already 4- 2 inch intake holes at the bottom plus what is below..
There will be 2 intakes ( 4 inches) on the back wall of the veg side too..plus 2 the same on the bloom side with 1 intake fan for cool air...I will have a total of 16 inches of intake..
the light is going into a pyrex bread tube I got off e-bay..like lemon's DIY thread...that will have a 112 cfm AC fan sucking out the heat from the HPS...
To vent the entire cab, i will use one of the same exhaust fans ( AC) but 150cfm's..that will easily clear the 6.33 cubic feet of space 3 times a minute...that fan will be mounted on the top inside the electrical compartment to cool at it too at the same time...
if you all see anything else, please let me know:)
Thanks everyone:wave:..I'll be back to check in...

Each 2" hole is ~4.7 sq inches. Each 4" hole is ~12.56 inches. Based on your info, that's roughly 69 square inches of intake. Based on the 2x passive recommendation, you've got enough intake for a 6" exhaust. In fact, you've got about 12.5" more than 2x. That should help reduce static pressure on your fan for things like ducting, perpendicular walls and the scrubber.

If your cab runs too hot, try it w/o the intake fan and compare.

thanks dor the info Disco!!! apart from the 2 holes for the cool-tube, I will only have 1-4 inch hole for exhausting the whole cab...I will have the same PVC tubing as I do on my cab, underneath this newer one...thats why I need the 2-3 extra holes to compensate for the bends...you are a huge help!!!
hello:wave:
i finally got my pyrex tube in the mail..Canada isn't famous for our mail system...:)
here are some pics from day 32 of bloom...

Looking good BC. Can't wait to see the new cab. What method do you use when watering/feeding. How many liters is the container for your soil?
