Alright guy so I contacted the camera place near me and they haven't sold darkroom louvers in years only big expensive darkroom fans. So I am thinking of getting something like this and attaching the ducting near my window A/C that is in the same room as the cabs. Here is a link, let me know what you guys think: http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=220628-131-1359W&lpage=none
Do you guys think that with the two louvers and the ducting stretched out will keep light out?

Yeah i plant on making a window box to attach the hose to once winter comes. I can only put in one today and it is going to be a pain in the ass too because my jig saw just broke. I am going to come up with something to cut through. Once money isn't so tight I will buy another and likely attach the two hoses together on a Y duct so that I can just have the one duct bringing fresh air to two different vents in the chamber

Yeah that is what I was thinking especially because I am stuck exhausting into the same room as the cabs are in. I think that having a 4" duct right next to the A/C vent will make up for the CFM loss using my DIY carbon filter. And I could probably not use the air conditioner at such a low temp. I have to have it on the High cool on 66 degrees to keep the temps nice. If I get this duct right next to it I should be able to get away with having the A/C on 69 low cool or something like that. Saving electricity and cooling the grow box more efficiently are things that I would like to have going on lol

Well I just got done setting up the louver dryer duct kit. It is working awesome! It is completely light proof and my temps are at 77°F with the 250 watt and 70 watt HPS shining. I attached the end of the ducting to one side of my window A/C vent so that it is sucking cold air in directly from the A/C. I will try and get some pics up later of it but I'll have to use my shitty old camera. I hope you guys don't mind

Hey guys just got done taking some pics. This camera is so crappy that I couldn't handle taking a lot of pics.
These two pics are of the dryer duct louver that I installed today. The other end is not shown but it is attached to the vent of my window A/C that is in the same room as the cab. The temps are at 77.7°F with the a/c on 70 low cool. Works great
This is my church plant which is 4 weeks in flower today. She has been suffering from some yellowing and I am not sure why. If anyone has any input on this let me know

Hey Tom
Yeah the church shouldn't be yellowing at week 4.
Are you using calmag at all?
It's probably a bit of N deficiency as well, but I'm sure I can see calcium def' mainly.
Light green on the outer leaf margins.
Hit it with some calmag+ if you got it and it should fix her up.
Just my 2c, I'm no expert.

Damn that sounds like a perfect cocktail Tom.
I don't know what's up with her.
Maybe increase strength or frequency of your feeding?
Hey man she looks great!
Best of luck with the last few weeks, is that one still under the 250w?
I noticed the thread started a while ago so just curious it looks like you might have upgraded the room a bit. If you're using ff nutrients I would definitely get some ff soil to boot, and maybe add some perlite to it. I guess mg is good but you'll get more of network of beneficial interaction from the organic ff base and the organic ff aditives. Maybe add some beneficial subcultures to it and really give it a boost. I would like to try that sometime... just a thought.

Thanks for stopping by man
I am still using a 250 watt HPS over the church and a 70 watt HPS over the thai super skunk. I have always been interested in trying mycorrhizae. Have you used that at all? I like the mix that I have now, the only mg I am using is the perlite. I use canadian gold peat moss at 75/25 ratio with the perlite
nice, yeah I haven't tried the little guys yet. I got one soil grow under my belt and shot for hydro using technaflora, which are partly organic except for the major salts. general hydroponics has subcultures though that are supposed to thrive in high salt environments, and I've seen other dry fungal supplements for a lot cheaper.
