thanks for that one frosty. the only other thing is i have an 8 in inlet and and 8 in outlet both 6 in fans but the intake is at the lower part of the box and im finding that its making the soil too cold. Its blowing right at the bottom im thinking about moving it up more towards the middle maybe. Should i put fans on the light its self and get venting hose out the exhaust or do you think just moving the inlet hole will solve my cold soil but still needing a cold room problem?

Yeah either move the inlet above the soil line, or try constructing or buying a 90degree elbow to redirect the airflow above the soil.
Whatst the temps in there around the canopy level with the lights on? if its within the ideal temps range, i'd just vent the cab somewhere close to the light n reflector (my reflector has about 20 small holes in it, and the fan is above,air n heat pulls around and straight thru the reflector, my average temps are 75-77.)
if your temp is a lil high, try venting it at bulb level to pull as much latent heat out as poss, or construct a cool tube using a bake a round tube.

the strain i gave MMicro, Lifesaver is a great yielder under sog/scrog and bog conditions, its considered a medi strain and is relatively hassle free to grow. It clones easily too,and doesnt stretch horrendously in flower.
Many of the 'early' strains would be worth considering too, like early girl, nice smoke and quick as hell flowering, with good to great yield for plant size

Good call,Autos do great under 150's, but there are plenty of stronger auto strains than the original LR...Auto AK, auto Kush,White russian,diesel ryder, auto lemon sk to name but a few, would tend to give larger yield and better high over the original LR.

can you remove that explosion shield thingy... or do you think that it takes away from the light dispersion at all? Those lights just look too good to be true (price and everything).

yes you can remove it

It helps prevent extra heat and fire hazards

that sounds good. you found yourself a great deal there! thanks for sharing : )

anytime bro....just trying to help my fellow potheads save money

Thats a great idea Frosty thanks man the temp isnt too bad at the moment. i can keep it around 76-80 with the humidifier but the problem happens when all of the cooled air i was trying to get into the whole box just condenses around the pot level. fixed that with some ducting insulation i wrapped around the pots. I think im gonna take these three battery charger fans i found (the exact same thing as computer fans) and these little three 12 volt battery set up that ive been able to use as a car battery jumper.
The good thing with the batteries is im a little bit of an electrical guy so i wired up a charger for them, but anyway i think ill take those and fasten it so that one is blowing in line with one sucking on the other end of the light and put the direction of the sucking and the blowing towards my exhaust fan i think it should work.
Just one more thing. When i planted my first plant i was a little to premature in what to do so i had planted it in MG moisture control (Bad FUCKING idea) luckey i only had one in the shit. The problem is is the soil just won't release the moisture like its suppose to and its as my best assestment not letting my roots breath. Now im on week 7 from germination with it and am getting ready to transplant. Do you think that i could transplant it into better soil or just take the soil and ammend some larger more rockier perlite. Times really not that big of a thing because ive got the others at 3 weeks past germination. So i was thinking i could just leave this one in a longer veg to catch up with the others for flowering since im prolly gonna have to wait that long for the roots to repair themselves.

i think i'd go for new compost and just pot it up and let it do its thing..
Moisture control composts tend to suck ass for indoor growing.

You ain't just fuckin around luckily i went all out on the others and got fox farm everything and the ocean forest soil. But for shits and giggles i planted my two strains in two things of that miracle grow shit so i could show the difference on here to people and let me tell you there is SUCH a fucking difference i cant wait to get a new camera. you can tell the MG is giving it too much Nitrogen with its time release stuff and the fox farm is already like twice the size at three weeks!

Yo I have a question if I'm seeing little rust spots that's a pH matter, right? Would watering with distilled water help this out? And to MildHIGHclub... I would have to agree with u and say I've noticed differences in the two but I had this one instance where I put a random bag seed in some Miracle Grow Organic Choice Potting Soil and it was a monster! Over 6 feet talll and very pretty no signs of nute lock or anything. I have pics I would post'em if yall want to see her... She's dead now My granmama burner her up... Ironic huh?

true true crack in another forum i had said that it does depend on the strains too and different needs for different seeds. As far as the rust spots are they on the leaves themselves or just on the tips? as far as water go if you have any type of wildoats wholefoods or just a place that you can refill water its not that much for reverse osmosis water. I get mine for 29 cents a gallon and it gets the whole worry of what might be in the water off your mind.
