Hey, my friends and I are planning our first grow pretty soon. We are running into issues as to how we should rig up the ventilation. We are working with a 4.5' x 3' x 2.75' (HxDxW) and will be running a 400w HPS/MH conversion light set up. We would also like to run a carbon scrubber.
With such a small space I assume we should air cool the light. How should we do this? We were thinking about getting this hood from HTG (http://www.htgsupply.com/viewproduct.asp?productID=49541). Would it be best to just have a seperate intake/exhaust for the light alone? Could someone maybe attach a simple diagram to explain the setup, if possible.
Next as for ventilation in the box we were thinking about running a 180 cfm computer case fan (120mm) for the exhaust, and about a 100 cfm fan for intake. Would this be ideal, if not what should we shoot for?
Thanks in advance, sorry I'm a noob, just want this grow done right.
