Hey I found a deal on a 6" cooltube for only $80 free ship, crazy. I'll let you know if it was a scam though.

so I picked up 6" aluminum ducting and a 6" inline fan to boot. Should be doing some exhausting of the growcube which is reaching 90 degrees now. My cube is a 4x4x4 with plywood walls and a 4' parabolic reflector hat.

Should i put the fan on the opposite side of or same side as the ducting? I'm thinking to put the fan on one side of the cooltube, blowing through, and the ducting on the other side.

next addition is a quality hps bulb and a grow tent to do a scrog in using 2" chickenwire.

You can put the fan either side.

If your fan is strong enough run it blowing through the cooltube but it usually can suck through more effectively.

Problem with having the fan sucking through the cooltube is the fan will get heated and possible lower the life span of it.

Good call on the life span of the fan, I actually may just run cool air from outside through the tube, so push from the window. I think that would be most effective.
My fan is rated for up to 75C but I'm sure rempts above 50C could cause issues, and I'm sure the 1000w gets that hot.
