Hey guys, I have just completed building my first cab after hours and hours upon work and atleast 10 runs to walmart, home depot, target, and lowes .
The cabs dimensions are 32" high, 27" wide, and 12" deep. I am currently test running the setup with the following lights: 1 42 watt 2700k, one 46 watt 2700k, 2 23 watt 6500ks, and 2 23 watt 2700ks ( Total of 180 actual watts folks) . I set up a 4 inch passive intake at the bottom of my cab and installed a 120mm cpu fan saudering wire connected to a 80mm fan for maximum airflow through my DIY carbon scrubber using pencil holders.
I am germinating right now but am currently running a test run with my thermo to see what temps i can expect. I am currently sitting at 92 degrees and it seems to be steady. I just added a cup full of ice cubes and froze a few blocks in ziploc tupperware ill throw in tommorow to see how much I can drop it. I also currently have my 90 elbow 4 inch passive intake hooked up pointing upwards, I'm pretty sure I should go back and place it pointing down or to the sides, thoughts?
If anyone has ideas how to get my temps down to a steady 83-85 degrees that would be great, I'm also going to be getting a small oscilating fan from walmart in the next few days to maximize airflow. The cab currently resides tucked in my closet and is completely sound proof. I need to work on light proofing but it shouldn't be too big of a deal, It's in a closet and I threw a towel over it temporarily and its 100% concealed.
The seeds I'm germinating right now are 4 bagseeds from some local dank, I'm using the paper towel method and hoping two will pop, as thats all I have room for. I have 2 three gallon pots with foxfarms ocean forest in there with my lights about 3" above the pots and the thermo DIRECTLY under the lights. I also forgot to add I was planning on adding mylar but don't think my cab can take that added temp as it is and I figure I should yield well enough with that much wattage on 1, hopefully 2 females if I'm lucky.
Ill keep you guys posted with pics to come soon, Any advice is GREATLY appreciated.
