Have you considered going vert?

Have you considered going vert?

yes man! but i didnt get it together whit the airflow. i cant make a new hole in the middle. and when its all covered up it will get really hot!
As i was thinking now whit the chicken wire 20CM from both side and underneet i will 4" 10cm free space. so its half vertical. when i had it standning i had less space for my Scrog

Bro vert is the way to go with a small space like that. It won't get any hotter than the setup you have now. Are those blue bins for your soil?

I'd cut the bins in half so they're shallow but will allow more room for your plants, put the bare bulb right in the middle, and keep the duct right where it is.

I have a very similar setup right now but with a bigger space. My vent is on the side like yours would be. No heat issues if you got a strong fan.

sound good man. i will one grow like this see how it goes. seeds already in water. gotta put them in soil today/tomorrow. and then i will try the vertical way! i was just thinking about where i should "operate" the buds. if i have open whole when i open. it will still be the same yield. dontyathink? chikcen wire looks the same just turned it around?

Made a "better" picture on what i was thinking

ive run in low height cabinets.
28" and less

103 CM = 40.5 inches! thats ALOT !

but still....
recommend vert bulb
definitely use smaller/lower totes

initially in flower kept the bulb low.
plants stopped growing taller once they hit the dark area past the bulb.

after stretch, raised the bulb/lowered pots so the top buds got the full light.

also, been noticing my plants I vegged for a long time didnt stretch much at all in height.

maybe the height issue isnt a big deal at all. I still wouldn't mount the bulb too high.

No way man you are gonna get a way better yield with a vert setup. I'd either put 2 more pots in, or wrap the foliage around so the entire light is being utilized.


You can use the chicken wire to create a space around the light and then let the plants grow around it.

Def cut the bins down too so you can get more foliage surrounding the light.

Up to you bro but I've done it both ways and got way better yields with vert.

Its not 40.5 inches height man, its the leight of the side. don't know how to say in english

i have putted in 2 more pots. i was thinking of doing what you said now. doing the vert. will drill a whole on top of it and hang it whit a cooltube. put chicken wire around it. i don't quite understand you 100%. i need a hole in front of the box so i can operate the buds. or you mean im not gonna have a hole at all? then i can't see whats going on

peace

recently got another 250watt. want to use it as veg cabin. about the same cabin size. will a 100mh3 fan be ok for that space?

 

[Dubya]

I recommend vert too. What don't you understand about? Use a bare bulb if u use a cooltube it's gonna take more space because you have to connect the duct to it which is gonna take up space.

Bare bulb, exhaust hole on the side of the box, use separate pieces of chicken wire and attach to each pot. If you need to take a look just take one of the pots out and you can see inside.

I dunno what a 100mh3 fan is sorry wish I could help.
