Perpetual grow setup

What's up guys! So I'm looking to start my first perpetual grow set up and could use some advice. Here is a pic! Any advice is well taken!

No need for intake fans. The exhaust fans will be pulling fresh air in through passive intakes. If anything I'd say put a small oscillating fan in there to blow on the plants/break the heat wave between bulbs and plants. I know cfls don't get too hot but in the amount you need to grow decently it makes enough heat to shoot a grow box into the high 90's. I know from experience. Plus the cooler you get it the closer your bulbs can get and more light you can use.


EDIT: damn my bad man. I'm only online on my phone and the pic was small and obviously my eyes are way red as its took forever to edit this. I didn't see the led's in there, my previous comment about the cfl heat doesn't matter as much. But, at 25", I'd think a vegging plant would grow too close to an led light. Might want to ask one of the led guys.

So just running an exhaust fan will keep the fresh air in there? I have two 6" clip fans gonna be putting in there over the top of the canopy.

I run LED in all my grows, and ive seen a PC case ran with a 200W UFO lights and they got super close and it didnt effect it. But ya ill def look into that!!

~~The more watts flower, less veg. How much are you thinking? Think I should just get rid of the CFL for the veg room? I like LED because promotes short node length keeps em nice and short and bushy.
