new PVC hood frame and fan vent: - still need to line with aluminum
Might be too big, though.

ok, totally revamped what I had goin. Managed to fit the ventilation up top, opening up a ton of footprint space for the Scrog.
I went out and bought a nice circle cutter, and I cut my exhaust hole finally. I had to get a 5" to 4" reducer and use a 4" vent (not in the pictures, that wasnt mounted yet)
I wish I didn't have to do it, but I couldn't find 5" vents anywhere, at least something semi-nice. Maybe if I find one eventually I will replace it.
Anyway, here it is, sans carbon-filter (still need to make it)
I might make some kind of duct protector/light mount so the lights chain isn't digging into the ducting, but I just put a PVC piece between the light and duct for now so there is room (the vent is right on top of the hood)
I will get pics of the outside where the exhaust comes out once that is mounted.
The carbon scrubber will be a box design so it will fit nice and snug on the right. It's pretty damn quiet, but not silent! I want to find a speed controller that works with a Soler & Palau, I might be able to play around with the speed while testing temps to find a more silent system.
quick tip, I bought a 2 foot piece of metal grill, like this
and I put it on the ceiling, above 2 pieces of PVC pipe - it's PERFECT for hanging various things from the ceiling without drilling for hooks, just get S hooks and you're good to go! That's how everything in my box is mounted now.

new HPS light fixture. This resolves the issue of the chain digging into the ducting. Pretty simple. HPS hood is bolted through the 1/2" PVC. I will probably get some PVC end caps just to make it look a little nicer.
Can you tell how much I love PVC yet? It's just so dang handy!
:smoke:
also cut out the intake holes, here's a quick shot of the outside
still need to light proof them.
exhaust and both intakes are 4" - I am still going to try and find a 5" exhaust to match the 5" fan, in which case I may add a third intake vent if I have to.
I might take off that flappy exhaust vent and just put one of those basic circle ones on it (like at the bottom) - I think it looks nicer and is more stealthy. God I'm picky..

I will have more pics soon, it's getting very close to the finish line
