here are the dimensions

the red are exhaust and the blue are intake 80mm cpu fans.

here are my veg lights. they are 42watt (200 equivalent) 6500k. These put off 2800 lumens each so thats 14000 lumens for my veg room. i believe it averages to around 8000 lumens per square foot.

will my intake and exhaust keep it cool enough.

couldnt tell u unless i tried it....thats how u gotta figure it out...try it keep a thermometer in there and just testm out...u can always add more fans right? i mean i started with like 4 bulbs and no fans...to 8 bulbs and 1 fan. to 12 bulbs and 2 fans...and now 18 bulbs with 3 fans...granted i didnt build a stealth box...mines ina closet. but closets are also hard to keep the heat down in...but im having no problems now with my 3 fans...remember u wanna keep ur temps between 65-88(at the most) 90+ will start to kill ur plants. i start to get worried if my temps get up to 88 or so...thats when i hafta turn my ac down or turn the fans up. lol.

ya i do have some experience growing. i harvested 3 beautiful ladies. 2 of them were 2 feet tall and one was 3 and a half feet tall. got almost 2 ounces. i also have a 250 watt metal halide. but i need something stealthy due to location.

i did order 10 33cfm cpu fans. they should arrive by thur. so either way i will have sufficient airflow. i have a digital thermometer with humidity as well for each chamber.

sounds good man...u prob got more experience than me lol..but i figured since u had 8 posts that u might be new... so are u gonna use that MH as well as the cfls? And let us know how it goes ill check back and check out my stuff feedback is appreciated +rep.

hell i would love to use that mh. but i need stealth due to my location. i am do have some experience. i will be recieving white widow, afghan kush, and super skunk clones once my box is finished. id say after you grow from seed to harvest the first time through you learn alot. my first plant got nute burn. the other two from my first harvest i started later and def had a better crop with those. wish i still had pictures. i had to reformat my computer a while ago and lost them.

how safe are these forums?

pretty safe...dont use names if u take pics dont put much in it but the plant and ur setup...i dont worry that much...regardless i have 6 plants...for personal...im pretty sure if the DEA is comin on here they are looking for people with massive setups puttin out alot of bud for sale...not to mention if u become a elite member u can connect to the net thru 1 of thousands of proxy servers we have...but i wouldnt worry either way man...they arent lookin grow personal growers their looking for quanity growers.

back to the topic....what do u mean cus of ur location? apartment? closet?

no i just like stealth because i do not want anyone close to me to know what im doing. i mean, im just doing it for personal. but still. im sure you know what im talkin about. im sure that you do not want all your friends to know what your doing. but as far as having to download my pics. you dont have to. it says click a link to download. but it just opens in a new window.
