No worries....I am very familiar with setting up C02....Just thought someone might have a heads up on using it in mills pride cabinets. Im going to buy this dark room vent with a fan in it, set it on a timer 15mins on 15mins off and have the C02 run when the the fan is off. I'll post pics from begging to end starting next weekend. Looking forward to starting a grow diary.

I was wondering where the c-13'rs were hanging. I hadn't run across this till now. I am on my 6th grow in mine. It is a 400w hps , Maliboo floor vents and a darkroom vent I will attribute to Simonc. (that ought to get him to post here) And a 4" Vortec vortex fan blowing into a 4" SIS homemade carbon filter. Very simple. Works great.
Sumo you told me you were working with a 400w instead of a 250W but I forgot to ask this....what are your ambisent temps?
I can not keep my ambient temps below 75F for money reasons and I too use a 4" inline but it is an Eco-plus (170cfm) and temps in the cab range from 80-86F in the lower part of the cab while closer to the light it gets up to about 90-95F.I plan on upgrading to a 6" 449cfm (supposed to keep temps like 3F above ambient).
Maybe it might have to do with the fact that my passive intake is low on the wall adn the fact that I only have one (4" x 6").

Thanks Fat Puta. Jnugg. I grow in a basement with ambient temps from 68-74f depending on season. When measuring cabinet temperatures I have read to take them in the shade so you are measuring true air temperature and not infrared coming off of light.80-86f sounds good to me and if that is measured under light then thats even lower in the shade. Are your plants happy? If so ,then why worry about 3+ degrees over ambient. 4" x 6" sounds like enough intake also. Keep it simple and complicate as needed.

Technically i dont have a c13, But my cab is of similar dimensions. I cut my to bubblegum ladies down a few days ago. They were chopped at about 58 ish days, they could probably have gone a little longer but i needed a harvest.

damn... good looking cab... temps are a bit high imo for running a 400 in a daystar ac with 449 cfm... i'm running a digital 400 watt hps daystar ac with a 449cfm vortex as well..... though i use a vaportek optimum 4000 so the scrubber might be the difference...
