Whats up oObe, very glad i found this thread. I was wondering, i have the same exact cab as you do and ive been running three cheap exaust fans from home depot 20.00 spcials as a triple exaust from the top of my cab to cool my 400 watt hps with a passive intake at the bottom ruffly two holes at 6" diamiters for intake..so far all is well but these cheap fans are going out as i speak and not to mention im about to drop some strains that are going to put out a lil stinkage if you know what i mean..here is the thing i have a 4" carbon filter unused so far and i was going to upgrade my fan to 440 cfm that i found online for 100.00 bucks,if i run this fan pulling through the carbon filter as a total box exaust will this be enough to keep the temps down with the 400 or not? the new fan is a 6" and i have a reducer to fit it 6" to 4"..Hope you can lend a lil help before i purchace...

My fan is a 520ish cfm and it stays in the mid 80's when the light is on all day, and I only have a 4in passive intake. So, I don't see why that wouldn't work.
I have a spare fan, I think it's probably the same as what you're talking about.

The cabinet is inside the closet but my room stayed pretty hot till I got a box fan. I was just leaving my window open till I got it.

That still looks pretty damn nice, bro! So, you just blow the air through the tube with the stationary fan? What are your temps like? I like it.

Yeah actually what i did is i ran 3 home depot 4" fans about 80 cfm's apiece through the flex tubing you see the fans are there you just cant see them, they jus suck air from right on top of the light reflector and around it and it blows right out the back of the box..with a passive intake at the bottom i can keep my temps relatively pretty cool around 78 or so depending on room temp..But now the dilema is i want to hook up my carbon filter so i know i need a better fan plus these are going out as i speak so im going with the 440 cfm inline fan i found on e-bay for 90.00 free shipping,so i see some remodeling in my near future..lol
By the way i dropped in on your thread all looks good right now i'll be subbing as soon as i get back to it...And a rep when i get there..Peace

nice looking cab how long did it take,i built one too.aim not sure if i can get a pic to post here if not the Patriot Grow Box is in my albums![Wishbuilder-324951-albums-p[img]](https://www.rollitup.org/members/Wishbuilder-324951-albums-p[img])
I'm not sure how long. It took a few hours to cut the boards and then a couple more to install them. It's hard to say because I had to piece everything together because I didn't have the money for it all at once. Did you buy that cab? It looks pretty professional.
That sucks about the fans. How long have they been running? I dropped 230 on my fan... it better not go out for A WHILE! lol.
Thanks for the good karma. I'll check out what you got goin on tomorrow.

The fans were cheap, so it was expected but they actually lasted a lot longer then i would have thought this will be my 5th grow with the fans and they cost me a grand total of 66.00 for all three...If i had a choice i would use them again but as i said i need to get my carbon filter hooked up and i cant running this kind of set up..
