Right, so my roomie hooked me up with another AC fan, but this time I went to Lowe's and got a 6" end cap and a 6"-4" reducer.

I used some tin snips to cut a hole in the 6" cap for the fan and then mounted the fan to that.

I should have taken some photos along the way to show how I did it, but too bad.

Anyway, here's the finished product which has dropped temps to 85F on average, which is fine by me.

Yes... Radio Shack sells these fans. They run about $20 for 12V DC (which actually has a higher CFM rating than the 120V AC fan) and $25 for the 120V AC. I went with the AC just because I didn't have a 12V power supply, which are not cheap.

Nice fan!! Reminds me of the fans I have in the closet at work. Dell sent us the wrong fan twice. I never thought about using them. I'm sure nobody but me even knows they are there. They would probably work perfect for venting my veg area!! Thanks for the inspiration. :)

Well, I have nuts and bolts securing the fan to the endcap... the tape is there simply to seal the the outside so that the fan is pulling as much heat out as it can.

Temperature is down to 84F now. Sweet.

Nice job! I cut the heck out of myself making one of these too! lol It didn't draw as much air as I thought it would, so I just hung it in the garden to circulate the air, and the duct keeps the leaves out of the fan blades, which is nice.

Very Nice setup congrats with the new clones and crazy root growth. I dont know if you have tried this but my uncle taught me a long time ago. with the 45deg cut on the bottom of the clone put like 4-6 minor slashes up the stock and it will root like 40% faster than normal. I usually use a rooting hormone but the slashes work hella good. Anyways Im Scribbbzzled. And what size tent did you get from HTG?

Yup... I already do that! Three little slices up both sides of the stem.
