250w hps.the fan is a 4inch bathroom extractor.cuboard is 2x3x6.dont know what the cfm is.no brand name.its out of a big static caravan.its 100 degrees in there but i carnt get another extractor untill next week but i will get another one i just need to get temp down with the 1 i got for now.so which would b best.it is only for 1 week or should i wait.i took the 250 out and put 70w hps in but i want the 250 back in asap

Why don't you leave the door to your cab open til you get your other fan?

i could do but its in my bedroom so i dont think the wife would b best pleased with the door open till midnight and it heats the bedroom up

If she can't handle it til you get your other fan i don't know what else to tell ya....

what should i use my fan for in or out

one for each at opposite ends

Ok since you still havent gotten the answer your lookn for, use it to remove the hot air, it will lower temps more than just pushing in more cool air. As you extract the hot air, cool air will be sucked in through the cracks in the cabinet.

i know.but i've only got 1.if u could only have 1 for now what would u use it for?

cheers bc at last someone gave me s straight answer.+rep to u thankyou

Why would you attempt growing and not have your setup ready to go. You don't start building your growroom after you have seeds growing. You need to stop and start reading and figure out what you need to keep your temps down and be ready to go.That is what everyone who is successful on here has done! Growing is hard enough with out adding the headache of getting things setup. You want success you need to prepare your area and get what you need and put it together. Sorry your not ready yet to start!

it was ready to go but i put a bigger light in thats why the temp shot up so i need a solution and now i got one .and 4 your info i did my home work getting advice and all that and a few people said i didnt need ventalation so when i changed lights i wasent expecting the temp to go from 80-100

just advise when u go to buy your fan look at an in-line and use that fan to extract your air,u can look at htgsupply they have some good prices.and use the fan your curretly using to intake air...
But till then use the fan u got now to extract the hot air..hope this helped

These fans work great, got them from HTG for around $40 each, they are 250cfm, I bought 3 but only using 2 at the moment

Why didnt you test your cabinet before you started. Did you learn anything???

I would look into proping your door open, just a couple inches, and change your light schedule. Like have the lights go out at 11 but close the door at 10. Have the light come back on at 5 and whenever your leaving for work prop the door open again. As for your fan, just get it blowing on your plants. With the door proped open it will help push the hot air out too.

they do make mini carbon filters....

if your only going use one I would use it at the top of the cabnit blowing out of the cabnit. I think if you blow the hot air it the cooler air will still be drawn into the cabnit where ever it can get in.

cheers people.budsworth if u read the post from the begining u would see i got a new light thats y the temp shot up anyway if u arent gunna help fuckoff posting on my thread
