Here is my cabinet nearing the end of week 4 of flower. I've got 3 plants under 800 watts of HPS with 125 watt CFL to balance the spectrum. 10 sf total. This is my first Scrog and I'm never going back.

lmao. i gave u another little green bar with that rep. lol.

Thats some grow Wheels619:hump:
thank u. as for ur fan question. i would get a fan based on cfm ratings. the quieter fans generally cost 2-3 times as more as a regular loud inline. but the louder inline will generally be stronger airflow. i use a 6 inch inline fan and its in my bedroom. i cant hear it from outside the room with the door closed. a good hydrofarm 6 inch inline fan should run u no more than 80 bucks on ebay or amazon including shipping. the maxfan is about 2-3 times as much but its a lot quieter than the classic style fan.

400 cfm classic style.

334 cfm max fan

just depends on how much u feel like spending really.

If l grow in a closet how am l gonna get air in then??? at least air from the surrounding area
how much would u mind cutting a 6 inch hole in some drywall? ur best bet for exhaust. 6 inch hole in the ceiling to exhaust the air into the crawl space or attic.

Hi:All
well have 2 5" holes cut out of the bottom of the closet(for passive ventilation) will see how its goes without an intake fan for the moment money a factor at the moment. The thing is now l had the passive idea in my head so cut the holes in the middle of my closet floor(is this ok position wise) and have a 4" hole cut in the top right hand side of the closet to the smaller closet above for venting with a gap in the doors to allow air to escape into my room U see its in my bed room and dont want to be blown out of it with noise it dosent have to be wispier quite neither lm looking at this kit

What U think??
I have to correct my closet space size wrong in a previous post

its 760mm wide(30 inches) 440mm deep(17.5 inches) and just over 5f in height
will this be ok to run a 400W HPS without burning the place up lol

I have to say this is a really great thread and awesome help the information and help here is fantastic :clap::weed:

im not so sure the fan u chose is the best bang for ur buck. they have no mention of cfm ratings or anything.

i would spend a wee bit more money to get a better quality fan. try to get something with aq steel housing and an airflow rate. i think u guys use ###m2/hr. instead of cfm's the higher the rating the better the fan. u need at least 180 cfms or the equivalent in the ###m2/hr. try for a 4 inch or 100mm fan and filter combo. A GOOD ONE WILL BE ROUGHLY 150 US DOLLARS OR 90-100 UK.
 
using master kush and random bag seed..26 plants total, half will probably end up male. lets say i have 18 females. is that too many to try and scrog with in a 4"*8"*7" Height. first time trying this. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I would also obviously not be able to remove the plants from the tent once they began to flower. Does is sound like a bad idea for me to try this? Should I just stick to SOG instead? 2 1000 w hps for light. i wouldn't put screen over them until they went in to the tent to flower. Let me know what you all think. Thanks
