Wow man shes lookin healthy, that fan should help out too! GL
Thanks man I hope so, it moves it a good amount but not like to much ya know. I had this little 80mm fan sitting around so I wired it up with the rest of the fans and hung it in there with a quick disconnect so I can move it if I like.

Yeah its growing well, I hope its a she :) lol

I will end up putting a active carbon filter on the exhaust before I put it into flower..

Do you have much light leaks. I had to cut some of the back of my case off to allow my fans to blow enough air in and out do you have any suggestions on what i should cover these up with to block the light and smell but still alow enough air to get through

I have a few light leaks atm, will be doing away with that. But I have no intake fans I have 2 fans inside case to move air around and 3 exhaust fans /w a total of 130+ cfm. So what I'm getting at is its pressurized due to all the exhaust fans so even with light leaks, the exhaust will just suck air through them but only air getting out is through the exhaust so I can put an active carbon filter on that and do away with smell..

ok man i get what your saying any design tips you can give me for my box i got some pics here as you can see i need to deal with the holes where the fans are pretty quick. Its my first grow aswell so this is all new to me
Um I'd get rid of the led, you won't want that on when lights are suppose to be off.. Looks to be a good setup, search for DIY Active Carbon filters here on RIU and you'll see how you can get rid of the light for the exhaust, as far as intake hole goes I'd just put a plain filter on the inside of the case to cover it up. Will filter out dust and what not and also block out light.

ok thanks for your reply i read on here that the led will not effect the plant because they cant see green, but i was little dubious about it so i turned the fans off for th 6 hour night period. Now i relalise that wasnt a good idea so i will get rid of it. heres a pic of my baby but she aint looking to good at the mo going to repot her tommorow when im back cause i think she is getting cramped

Shes looking good bro, very bushy already!
:) Yup I'm loving it lol, I've kept it close enough to the lights that it hasn't stretched at all. Moved it from about 1in away to 3in today, before lights go off and I wake up tomorrow with the leaves touching the bulbs..

Wait until it goes into flowering, you will be moving them up a couple times a day for the first week or so! Its nuts:)

Yeah I'm Probably going to veg 2-3 more weeks at the most, depending on height but I have alot of room and only 1 plant, but when I go 12/12 I might germ some seeds and do a couple party cups :)

Are you going to top her at all? If you have a lot of room you should top her in around a week and then give her a couple more to recover! You should start the party cups too!

I've thought about topping it and trying to get the 2 or 4 tops, I've read through uncle bens topping thread so I have a good idea on how to do it, would just need to go to lowes and get some garden cutters (lol don't remember what there called) to cut it.
