I wish you would. It makes no sense to me to post out of focus pics for any reason at all.

This is a pretty mickey mouse setup but these plants are right bushy and they look like there will be some nice yield.

I have suspended white bristol board as reflectors.

I started my first closet grow using cfl's and as I was building my flower area, I realized dealing with cfl's can be a pain in the ass. I would be better off with HPS, and decided on (2) 150W hps lights for Flowering & the cfl's for Vegging.

Here's my journal;

I finally subscribe to the 150W club and I'll share some pics. I'm switching to 12/12 on my first crop this Sunday.

I'm having trouble keeping my temps below 88F with the lights on. all my fans are pc fans(but i should have enough). anyone got suggestions?

The whole flower setup. Ballast/electrical is above the flower chamber. That's where the cool tube's exhaust goes. There's a desk fan that hangs under the light, and a pc fan for intake there in the back(shiny strip on the back wall).


There are two pc fans on the exhaust end of the cool tube pulling air, and a fan on the back wall of the cab to help exhaust the air out of the cab. I usually have a carbon filter attached to the cool tube.



There's a chain to hold up the ducting when the light is raised for air flow. Then there's a small pc fan in the end of the cool tube blowing towards the bulb. For the intake i made a false wall for the cab, then made a rectangular box to attach the fan to for light proofing.

Bc. i'm wondering if the pc fans are enough, especially with the scrubber on.
Pc fans do move alot of air but dont tend to have much force, and i think they'd be hard pushed to efficently move air thru the carbon scrubber, which will mean the cabs temp will rise.
I'd try a 4" extractor fan, similar to those used in bathrooms/toilets etc..
I use one in my cab with the 150 and 70 hps, and the temps RARELY go above 80.
I have pc fan intakes in the lower section of the cab and the 4" sucking the air from above the reflector hood (which has several holes drilled in it to aid withdrawl of the heat) your scrubber will mount to the rear of the 4" nicely, and they pull/push some good CFMs...You can find "silent" types for a lil more $

Well gang, it seems my previous breeding exploits have payed off, the beans are only 12 days and they have all shown sex..
Just checked the cab, and the 3 potted FAMC are already showing preflowers, and are indeed fem.
The other FAMC in hempy is also showing sex, and is a nice healthy male, but it's gonna be pulled by the wkend, Gonna germ some more beans on fri to fill out the other 2 places

Go steady
