thats exaclty what i was thinking about putting a fan in front of my intake to push air into the room. no the hps is not installed yet. i ordered a darkroom louver and shipping was delayed due to passover. so it should be here any day. once i get my intake i plan on firing up the 400 and see what it does. thanks for the kind words...hopefully soon they will be booming..

I Knew The Plants Would Smell, But Not The Soil...lol..Its a strong organic mix...i use potting soil, blood meal, bone meal...w/ a lil pertalite..

ty, actually it is a bedroom closet that i enclosed and cut a hole in another closet for a seperate entracne...if you look at my first post you migh be able to understand it more...pretty stealth i thought...i was proud of myself for coming up with the idea...lol...although i have no construction skills...does anyone one here no anything about darkroom louvers? i just installed mine and do not know if i have it on the correct way...would the room have to be completly sealed for me to know if it is working? if anyone knows, please let me know. the other problem i have is the gap between the 2 pieces of drywall...my louver is about a inch deep and the hole in my wall is like 5-6 inches deep..any ideas on how i could extend the louver?

is there anyway i can make my intake more powerful, i have a fan blowing into the intake from the other room but it still does not seem like enough. my temps have been around 85 the last couple days and i need to get them down. i do not have an air cooled hood yet but i plan on getting one soon..would it work if i got an inline duct booster and stuck it in my intake hole, maybe one of the more powerful ones? please let me know. thanks

does anyone know if a fan like this will help my intake vent...was thinking of putting it in my grow room to pull air through the intake...i already have a 170cfm fan but its pulling through a carbon filter..temps range from 80-85 with lights on...around 75-78 with lights off..

if u make a mix of 5cups sugar and a couple spoons of active yeast in a gallon of water u can brew co2 (look in grow faq for specifics) with a lot of co2, which that gallon will create plenty in that space for a few weeks, you will need the higher temperature to put it all to use.
