yeah bro the spray adhesive would have worked and I didn't think about it till after I got double sided tape and already had 3 sides in lol... But yeah I think that would work perfect.. Um fan is going to be mounted on the top of the box, cut a 9in dia circle and fan slide in up past the back of the fan vents... So it works perfectly, Its just a 9in Honeywell fan I got from lowes for like 15 bucks... I'm thinking about getting another one and doing the same thing but putting the second fan on the timer so that at night 1 fan circulates air and when lights on you have 2 fans keep it cool, with 185cfm (I think thats what it is, if not close to that :)) it should be perfect and there cheap so if it goes out I'll just get another one :bigjoint:

ps.. when I said they I was high and just meant the plant in there :) I knew it was 1 plant but you know how your brain thinks 1 thing and your hands type another... lol
hell yeah, sounds like a good plan, i like that. i'll have to check those fans out!!

dam, thats a great deal man!! 2 for 1!! mines unplugged right now, im saving it for when she starts getting real stinky, LoL. looks like a trip to target also, LoL.

I love hot glue when it comes to cardboard, easy as hell to create cardboard duct work :)

nice, thanks man, gives me more ideas on the new box. straight out the top exhaust, should suck the heat from the lights real good.

thats what I was thinking/hoping for lol... I have a 4 socket vanity with a piece of vent pipe for a reflector... 4 x y adapter going to run 6 x 2700k 23watt and 2 x 6500k 26watt... Passive intake at the bottom front of box and exhaust top back of box so I'm hoping that it will bring the air in and suck it up and around the lights/reflector to help keep it cooler then my pc case ran... We will see in time I suppose bongsmilie

cd, grassy is looking real fine :) . you're gonna have colas the size of your arm dude! can't wait till you harvest that monster. and blade should give you a nice chew as well!

i love this trueair revolution. they're gonna have a shortage of those things. i have 4 of them (2 in use, 2 in storage) and a few replacement filter packs. i also found that crazy 2 for 1 deal at target, so go for it if you can find it. my shorty wardrobe box has been in a state of constant upgrade, but that's because i only built it a week into flowering and i had to hurry up before the whole apartment stank up. for the next grow i'm gonna take my time like monk0 and really set it up how i want... probably be upgrading to the "grand" to keep temps cooler at the canopy (i assume the extra height will work for that...hm...?)

the bigger box would keep those temps down a little.... and put the exhaust out the very top like these guys are talking about.

i have never had any luck with reflectors in the box, to much heat build up.

yeah me either, this should be a nice haul here. i cut the blade bud, was up in the lights, LoL. yeah, i think so, i wanna get the new box and try to make it work with just the passive intake and 1 big fan out the top, but like i just said, i still think any type of refletor is gonna trap heat.

the bigger box would keep those temps down a little.... and put the exhaust out the very top like these guys are talking about.
yeah, see above, LoL.

Right on. How much did you yield off of your last two pants? You Think your one monster this grow will equal it?
just over 4 oz's, and yes, i think i can get that and a little more from this girl if these buds blow up.

Damn Bro! (all I have too say)
thanks bro!!

well it was day 85, but when i typed out all that eariler, hit submit, and not logged in, i said fuck it, LoL. grassy is doing great, almost 6 weeks now.

nice cd lookin good bro, yeah I wanted to see if I can get a reflector to work, might have to add another fan if so thats cool.. I just had so much wasted light last grow and this grow I want to make sure I can get the light down the the plants.. We will see how it goes bongsmilie

thanks bro, not sure if you remeber this or not, its what i started the 3 bulb light fixture as, had to cut it off right away, LoL but it was when i first started, i bet it would work if i played with it a little more. a far cry from where im at, LoL.

thanks rasta, LoL.

yeah my reflector is open on the ends though so it will let the heat raise out from the ends... 1/2in gap between the side of the box and each side of the reflector... so hopefully that will keep the hot air from getting trapped..

hey hippy, get the uhaul box already!!

cd, grassy is looking better than ever. those main branches / colas / vipers whatever you wanna call them, are looking so massive, and they're only gonna get massiver... and the buds are starting to look like real buds now. love how everything is looking bro.

interesting info on the reflectors and heat traps... hippy i'm curious what you come up with. i wonder if "panda film" which is white has a better light-to-heat reflecting ratio...

I prefer to use flat white in any small area mylar is far more efficient from a reflective standpoint but if it get's hotter I can't put in as many lights, so I sacrifice the 5-7% reflection bonus from mylar and use flat white or flat white products and I am in turn able to put more light's in so for the 5-7% loss I add another 15-25% watt's and I made a major gain worthwhile sacrifice... following my math? little sleepy not sure if my analogy is right as my %'s may be off on the reflectivity bonus

thats cool, just more things to mess with when i get the new box.

dude you just gave me an idea for a $15 or less vented reflector... I need a uhaul box dangit.

i have something about all that, i just looked but couldnt find it, i will later, mylar was the most reflective though i believe.

day 86, just gave her the last of week 5 nutes, everything is looking great here.

yeah, it sounds like if heat isn't an issue, you should use mylar or the most reflective imitation, but if temps are really high, switching to panda film might work because like hippy says you it'll bring the temps down compared to mylar and you can leave more lights on (which is a better offset than losing the extra % of reflectiveness). hippie did the math, and it was solid :)

cd, i'm heavily baked right now and took a look at grassy and she reminded me of snuffleupagus for some reason haha. am i way off? anyway, as always looking very nice. those colas are taking some definite form.
