sumo said:Gonejah 17 nice cab. Unless those hinges are way different than Mill's Pride you can totally light proof that cab with weatherstripping. I put weatherstripping on the cab side and on the edge of one door. I put it on with the doors off so hinges are not in the way. The fan will help to keep doors shut tight. Mine has been light proof for two years without having to redo weatherstripping. If you can keep room dark light leaks won't matter except the cab is not stealth at all when it looks like you have E.T. locked in your cab. I only run my cab 16 on 8 off during veg. so during the day my cab is either totally off for 12 or 8 hours which increases it's stealthiness.
Now that I look at your design again are you blowing hot air back in cab? You have to blow the hot air out into room. That is why the CO2 really isn't practical unless you are increasing the co2 level in whole room. You can't treat these cabs like a sealed room unless you can cool it somehow. Also the heat coming off of light is substantial and might melt your rubber connectors.
Nice work

Mountain High said:if you have X amount of intake you need X amount of exhaust. No reason to have a large intake if you dont have a way for all that air to get out. as soon as the darkroom vents are installed, you will be able to test the temps when the cab is 100% up and running. see what your temps are and then decide if you need to adjust the air flow. peace.

I guess I lucked out because my Home Depot had, and still has, a stack of c24's hiding way on the top shelf on clearance.
