Exhaust set up?

cant delete, moved thread to grow room design & set up, thought it would be better placed there. sorry all

you can use a small clip on fan inside to help cool the lamps directly and then use something as small as High Tech Garden Supply that to draw air out of your cabinet / box

the 105 watt CFLs stay plenty cool with a small clip on oscilating fan blowing on them
cool enough i would say to keep them within 3 or 4 inches from the canopy.

make sure they are very secure tho i had one fall on a plant and burn the top 6 inches of it off in a matter of 30 seconds.

yea you really dont need a duct booster.
a clip on fan from walmart is fine.

i was thinking he needed to exchange the air not so much cooling ??

oh yea that too damn im trippin.
you right.

Damn you all are on the ball, i didnt even have my box descriptions in here. Thanks guys.

Yeah ill have to exchange the air, but will the exchange be enough to cool off the bulbs as well? Or should i have a seperate mini fan specifically for cooling? Or will my intake fans (which i plan to have blowing on the underside of the plants) be enough to cool the CFL's?

I have a 2x2x6 with a 250 hps. 1 intake fan 1 outtake fan no oscillating temps stay 73-76

talking feet for your box im guessing? what kinda fans are you using cause im a bit limited on space.

yes feet intake is actually 2 small computer fans 40-50 cfm each together with duct flashing mounted outside of box to cover fan holes hooked to 6 inch flex duct and outtake is 1 computer fan 120 cfm mounted same way with fladhing and 6 inch flex duct just make sure fans mounted inside box flashing mounted outside box and sealed your outtake cfm also should be higher than intake seems to work well for me how big is your grow area

im workin with inchs here lol. its 14x30x44...i know reeeeal small. i dont plan on doing a bunch of plants but i still expect it to get hot as balls in there. i dont think ill have to go to extensive here for an intake/exhaust system, i just have no experience with what works or not.

still going to need outtake of some sort would use fan also use some fans inside to move air around

yeah everyone keeps telling me bathroom fans and computer fans. where can i get fans at for a decent price?
