Have seen quite a few nice cab configs trolling around the forum. I have an idea to float past you...
Assuming stealth is not an issue (for everything except smell), why can't I make my cab roof with a ridged, rectangle cut out of it the exact size of my light and sit my light in that. That way the light is sitting outside the cab, and much less of a heat issue inside, plus it saves height inside for flowers. I'm talking either a 400W HPS or 250W HPS with glass between the hood and the plants. I could still vent the light to keep it cool, but thought it would help with heat issues inside the cab.
2. ventilation - air in. Is it best to get air from outside for CO2 content, or is it equally good to just take air from another area inside? Would have to make sure to keep the critters out...
Air out will go outside.
Thanks for your help!
