sick setup man im gettin ready to put 2 x 400W hps's in a homemade cool tube i got 2 bake-a-rounds on the way lol im basically prolly gonna go with the same setup u got just twice as long....vent from outside to outside to maintain the smell.... im doing a garage setup in a big tool box with a window a/c unit goin in that bitch and 800W.....

question is: do you think having a 80mm 32cfm computer fan as a intake into the tube and one as an exhaust gonna be sufficient for the tube? remember i got an window a/c unit in there so that should keep temps in the 70-80's i hope,, bt its in my garage in florida so its gonna get like 95-100 deg in a few months

HoLE you beat me to it! *lol* im glad you did cuz im gonna DEE-BO your good idea of using the overhead range carbon filter, brilliant. Also im 100% sure you saved around 1200 dollars on your homemade setup compared to the 2000 dollars sunlightsheds charges and prolly had some fun constructing the box too! Anyway i just wanted to give u props because me and my dad are gonna try and do something similar to this very soon. Much Love

spend the money on a good fan,,it will pay for itself the first day it gets over 80 degrees outside,,this fan I have is over-kill,,if your gonna vent 2 lights with it,,get at least a 300 cfm in-line,,why mess around and let your grow strain it's way through the heat

I'm looking for a cheaper way to keep my grow closet cool.
I have a 400wMH bulb and reflector, ballast is kept out of the closet so that helps some.
Temps range from 65F at night to 90F during some warm days.
Its only getting hotter as it turns to summer and I need to find a way to cool it now.

I love the pyrex round bread thing and some ducting, but the way to get the air in and out is the problem. Don't really want to get a large fan, not only b/c of the initave cost but for the cost of running it too.

Any help. I can get pics if you'd like.
