Yeah that's gonna be a mission to trim but I am sure I'll have more than a little 'Scissor-Hash' to keep me focussed...or not
lol and the added bonus is if all goes well ~ I should also have a shit-load of sugar leaves to make some lovely 'Ice Hash' @ 20 & 75 Microns !!! Waste not - want not! - eh?!! and I have a mate who will happily pay me for all my stems - so he can make Tea/Broth with them! and I will make another bigger & better Pipe out of the main stem!! then all I've gotta do is dispose of 9L's worth of root mass - STELTHY

Sorry if i missed it Stelthy,but what size fan are you usin for all that light in there sir?
Now that i have moved i am having to run a cab myself.Hoping to run at 600 watts but my ballast is switchable so i will be able to tone it down if need be.
This is what i'm workin with.
72x48x21.Wish it was another 10 inches deeper myself but had to get what i could get.

Hello mate, I'am using an 8" Systemair In-Line fan. Depending on your location (out side temps), whether or not you can run an AC whilst your lights are on and a couple of other things will be the deciding factors if you wish to run a 600... They do kick out some serious heat!! I am running just over 750W but the main lamp is a 400W HPS However I don't draw cool air in from out-side.
I too have a 600w MH/HPS I am dying to use but currently I still cant run it due to temps.. But never say never! - I'll get there eventually
.. If I were you with the size cab I'd go with a 400... But line the inside with ORCA Reflective sheeting... this stuff will make it seem like your using a 600.. Even though your only using a 400.. I plan to redecorate with this stuff after harvest !!I'd like to help you run a 600 in there
How far are you willing to go to get it to work?? - STELTHY

I went from a 7'x4'x8' garden,veg and flower with my 600 and a t5(love them lights)
ME WANNA ROCK ME 600 BRUDDA!!!!!!!!!!
My fan is 440 cfm,same one i used in the old grow.Should be way more than enough air.Will be getting a speed control for it as my grow will now be in my closet inside the house instead of out in the shed and noise will be a factor.A box will be made of MDF for the fan and am also thinkin of lining the inside of said box with Dynamat.The top right side of the cab is where the fan and electric/ballast/all the crap that takes up all the damn space will go.
I also don't think i will be able to run any intake or exhaust from out side the house,hoping this doesn't cause issues.
I got the Lumatek 600 switchable.Goin strong for 3 yrs now.
Right now i'm fighting with the idea of building a box on the backside of the cab and using it as my ducting throughout the cab to try and save as much space as possible for fat nuggies.

Yo check my cab, its smaller than urs, 28" x 16" x 74" and i've somehow got a 600W HPS running in there at the moment. I am drawing in cool air from outside, but hardly any, ive got 4 holes going through the wall (1" in diameter, tiny!), but a shit load of fans, 2 intakes, 1 extractor, 1 inline attached to the reflector and 2 fans to move air inside, its too much! Maybe i could get away with 1 intake and 1 air circulation fan, and i could remove the inline from the reflector, but at the moment the environment is perfect in there, and my room is 25C!
Stelthy u must like cold rooms eh? I don't think i'd even be able to run my 400W in my cab without constant cool fresh air, makes your cab all the more impressive!

Hin Endur0xX, Last time I pulled 9.3 oZ so this time I am hoping between 9oZ and 12oZ, theres still improvements to be mad to my Cab. eg/ I want to allow my Reflector to go higher, I still need to get the 600 running.. all things that can help me achieve just that bit more growth! I also want to further increase my Res. size... I started with 5L storage tubs, then I'am using 10L storage containers (now), and now I want to upsize again if I have enough room in my Cab... these are all factors which when dealt with and modded will all help me earn a bigger harvest in the future

Whilst out shopping for home improvements at HomeBase.. I stumbled across these awesome 'bins' lol
I instantly saw 'possibilities' !! I picked 'em up and start visualizing whether they'd fit and since there was no label/indication of how many Litres they held it was largely down to luck...But I when I get a feeling about something I am usually right so I kept my fingers firmly crossed for good luck !! 
I decided to buy 3 of them.. they were £9.99 each, I bought 3 so I could have 2 new large Res. Tubs in my Cab. and one spare that I'd use to mix up the correct amount of nuits. in
!!
I decided to stand them next to the Cab to see how they'd fit
I realise I need to cut out some of the floor of my Cab. to allow me to 'sink' the larger tubs in and once done they should sit merely an inch or so higher than my Res. tubs at the moment but with *(Guessing) - 3X the liquid capacity 
I used my 1L measuring jug and marked out every Litre with a line, and also every Gallon with a longer line.. I will add clearer measurement info with a Marker Pen once I have finished covering them.. I also left a water level - viewing window..
I will have to wait until after my Harvest before I can do the Mods and install them.. The good news is, is that after I finished measuring how many Litres etc they can hold! The final figures are :-
Tubs will hold : 37 Litres / 7.4 Gallons
These tubs will be perfect since they have little 8" X 7" little vertical doors at the front (top).. These will allow easier nutrient change over...as well as allowing me to take some much need 'root-porn' pics
this will mean no accidental harm to the root mass and will make the quality of my Cab.. 'That much more'
!!I have no idea how high I will fill them yet!? as I still need to carefully cut in a hole for the air-pot/s and add bubbling water to gauge the correct level of fill..
I hope you like the mini update
Now I am going to continue getting the new Res tubs ready so I can store them out the way ready for the big day !! - STELTHY
