Cool, so the new plan will be out take on top and intake on bottom left. I might get a jigsaw later so I might have some pics up later. I live in a pretty warm climate. At least it's hot as fuck in the summer. My basement is still pretty comfortable though, even chilly at times.You can never take out too much heat unless you live in a very cold climate. The intake will be fine on the bottom left side and if temps get too high you could put a passive intake on the other side to bring in even more fresh air.

I leave my fans on for the same amount of time as the light cycle. And when the lights go off I leave two intake fans on to keep bringing in new fresh air. I am not too familiar with putting fans on a dimmer switch. I think you might be looking for a fan controller and I don't have any experience with that. Look around the forums and the FAQ and you should find how to wire a fan controller to your fan. Do you know what type of fans you are going to be using?Cool, so the new plan will be out take on top and intake on bottom left. I might get a jigsaw later so I might have some pics up later.

One more question about the fans. Me and my friend were thinking about running them into a dimmer switch. Would this work? And in your opinion what cycle should I run the fans?

Those look like so good fans, I would get the six inch for outtake and the four inch for the intake. With those fans I am sure you shouldn't have any problems with ventilation. You can get small oscillating fans at wal-mart or maybe even home depot so look around. You should have a fan to blow underneath the canopy of your plants to help strengthen stems and to move air around a little more.

Yea, I know but they put out some serious lumens. Probably going to go with like 10-12 cfl's.wouldn't go with those lights they just say 9watts
Thanks for the compliment.nice set up man great job my friends and i were gonna make a similar set up for the winter
If you look through the last couple pages, there are pics of my baby plants. I only have 6 going right now. (bagseed) Just bullshitin with these until the good seeds some in the mail. Me and my friend are thinking of ways to make this into two area's. The bottom foot or so for babies, seperated by a board. Then when they get bigger, move them up top and start moving them down the shelves gradually. IM OPEN FOR ANY IDEAS!!!how many plants do you plan on having in that? I'm probably going to model mine after yours, simple, gets the job done
Next friday I should have everything. My friend found some 5 bulb vanity's for cheap. Do you think I should be ok with 10-12 cfl's for 4-6 plants? Then when I want to flower just throw in a couple higher watt bulbs with more lumens?Nice improvements classclown, when are you getting the fans and lights?
