here man, here's a couple links i think you could use, first one to a primer on ventilation and the other a collection of links to some of the best grow related DIY projects on the net, ...if you read through some of these builds i guarantee you will be inspired with ideas that you can apply to your own setup.

Am away from my girls until tomorrow, I plan to keep the fan on the outside but pulling air out from the top, I believe with what everyone has said this will work better and get rid of the C02, hopefully it won't effect my temps as I have them just about where I want them
Thanks bozo
had a quick glance... The ventilation 101 is awesome... Too much information for my little brain to take it lol

...if you check the other thread you'll see it's a collection of links to DIY build threads and reading through that list and then reading through a few of the cabinet builds MAY help answer your questions, ...they will definitely show you how others have dealt with similar problems and that should help you figure out what will work for you.Thanks bozo
...the first group of links is to cabinet builds and if you scan down toward the bottom of that first section you'll see my motherbox build is listed, ...it ain't easy making the cut, lol.
...here's what it looks like so you can decide if you want to go see how i built it.
...and here's a quick look at my first budbox, $50.00 bucks at the Salvation Army for the unmodified cab.
peace, bozo

ive read through your entire thread but didn't realise it was yours, that is amazing 8 tops, am still deciding whether or not to top my girls and if ill have enough width to do so, and also should i begin to LST or do you think ill have enough space to let them grow as i dont plan on staying in veg much longer.... am going to get another 125w cfl and hand my two 125w side by side over each pot as the pot on the left isnt getting much light as the hanger the bulbs attached to sits over it

id let em get bigger befor you start fukin with em bro tbh.... iv made the mistake of cuttin and training to early lol
use the search box to research some topping threads (uncle bens is a good start) just get yourself familier with the techniques when to cut/train where to cut/train..
research research reseach (knowlage is power man)
you'll find a technique try it if YOU like it stick with it if not but with the research you can learn to moddify it so it suits your style an dmake it work for you
you'll see what i mean bro

Thanks mate for all the help, been watching videos on youtube on topping, think am just going to take the bagseeed out and do a bit of experimenting on that this time around
*UPDATE*
So its only about 2 weeks into veg but i have flipped these girls into a 12/12 as i dont have a much time as i'd like... plans for today are to get another 125cfl in the wardrobe, also removed bagseed today and put into own pot, just going to see how she/he does on a window-seal and do some experimenting, will upload some pictures later on the updated grow space..
temps are stable at 28c
(may change one second 125w is in)

...rather than a single 125watt bulb that gives you a single point of light and a single spectrum you might want to consider something like this that will allow you to use multiple bulbs with multiple points of light spread more evenly across your canopy and will also allow a mix of spectrums for a more balanced approach.*UPDATE*

...i personally prefer the 23 and 26watters because they are so cheap, you can often find them in 4 packs for under $10.00 and just as often you can find a $3.00 rebate which brings the cost down to a very reasonable number, ...those 125watt bulbs are EXPENSIVE!
peace, bozo
Thanks for the reply bozo...
Well here is the updated pictures as promised, the new light is on the left along with a new 6" fan blowing on the girls.... unfortunately like a retard i forgot to buy some hangers so cant be easily adjusted to get closer... also had to take the 26w (i think if memory serves me well) off the right hand side to allow space for both reflectors to fit... i had to drill small holes in the reflector and put wire in to bend the reflector... may take left lights out as well until the girls are bigger (any thoughts?)
not much else done apart from deep clean of grow area
