How big is your box? Looks pretty damn small, having a carbon filter on that is gonna look super out of place. From your pictures, I dont see any intake or exhaust ventilation, your gonna want some fans inside, set up for intake in there and too move the arir around and make those seedlings stems strong....Interested to know what your plans are...

you need an exhaust system in there. your original box was good you can easily seal off light leaks with duct tape or electrical type. i used to use a combination of both. if you only keep two plants i would think your plants will smell that bad, nothing that a scented candle or dryer sheets couldn't fix. a carbon filter even a diy one i will take up a lot of room.

air will be forced through the bottom also cooling DWC reservoir and all heat will be sucked out the top corner, where i'm thinking of adding a tube with activated charcoal so the air would get sucked through it hopefully helping with the smell problem IMG_0012.jpgIMG_0008.jpgIMG_0010.jpgIMG_0013.jpgIMG_0009.jpgIMG_0006.jpgIMG_0011.jpgIMG_0007.jpgIMG_0005.jpg

If you wanna do a super jimmy rig filter thats small enough to fit that size fan, its possible, but impracticle for your size box. Or, you can send your exhaust air out a window, into a closet or attic using flexible ducting. Your not gonna have to worry about it for awhile though, so take your time deciding what you really want to do to prevent smell. Good luck

you want more lights. two cfls wont support your plants throughout flowering. take a look at my thread to see how i did it. i use these light socket to plug fittings, then i put a Y adapter in which gives you two bulbs per socket. id use three but you could get away with two and the use a extension cord of some sort to get another set closer to your plants. or if you build your own setup to where it could be adjustable like you have it. but in short you need more lights. light leaks may be an issue with your fan something you need to consider before flowering. id suggest putting a 90 degree pvc elbow pointing down to help eliminate light, i plan on doing this after i paint the pipes black.

other than that your box looks good. how loud is that fan at the top?

hydroguru, just saw you comment and have heard about ona pro gel before, had a quick look on google shopping and sound something that sounded like it might suit my pc grow:

Originally I was going to use:

Which do you (or anyone reading for that matter) think would be most appropriate for it? And if I did use it, would having it inside the grow box effect the crop? Thanks

all the fans are almost silent there pc fans i have three so far intake exhaust and one blowing on the plants i want to add two more lights on the walls just trying to figure out the best way to do it. all fans 24/7 except intake i use passive when lights are off so it doesn't get to cold

here's some pics of the exhaust with some cardboard to block the light leak. i also put some pics of the roots(only 12 days old) and the cabinet closed looks like a table i also started lst on the plant that was growing to fast.
