Done all I can to make it as cool as I possibly can . Computer fan as intake 4 inch inline fan for exaust. 4 inch table top fan blowing on bulb with duct at opposite end sucking air through inline fan and out of cab. Steady 90 degrees if I add anything more it might be noticeable. Trying to make this one stealth. Can I grow with this high of temps ? I've flowered outdoor with success just not inside. Got the vegging part down indoors just starting to learn about the floweing part. Please let me soak up some knowledge from all you experienced gurus.

Hey man what kind of light are you useing? what watts?
You need a good fan period. If your 4 inch fan is not cutting it, go get a 4 inch Vortex. Look into it, kinda pricy for a 4 inch model, better go eight

Well said,JL i cool my 400 with a couple of home depot specials and passive intake.4" duct fans 23.00 apiece..if not go with the 4" they have on e-bay with filter combo for 124.00 even if you dont use the filter now you may in the future if you upgrade....
Wow 170 cfm inline fan isn't good enough? I'm still gonna try and make it work. I was thinking since my cabinet is in the corner of the closet in a nook with walls on 3 sides and the back of the cab is about 5 inches away from wall. I was thinking if just removed the intake computer fan and sealed up the cab real good if maybe I could just cut a hole in the front the the cab at the bottom and put 4 inch ducting tube that comes out of my closet and into the bedroom on the floor to ensure more fresh are than from the back of the cab. And since it will be sealed good it would forcefully suck air through the bottom intake but fresher air now. I was going to try and make the ducting look unnoticable somehow. I'm hoping this will work. I would hate to dish out more money for a bigger inline fan. Already paid 130 for this . Which I thought would work. I swear I read that people even used the same growbright 4 inch inline fan for 400w hps's with success. I could be wrong
That is the fan I ordered just without the scrubber. My buddy gave me a diy scrubber that I will attach when needed.
Lol it does doesn't it. But this is not the situation. I just want to be stealth because I don't want any friends or family to notice it. Its not like I'm throwing partys in my room or anything I just want to be safe. Sometimes when ppl get careless they also get snitched on. Just trying to give no reason for anybody to suspect, u know?

oh yea!!! I feel yea! I did four years with not one person knowing. That includes friends too. Butttt than I started to open up because their came an opportunity to expand with a friend who was interested in growing. Its really good idea to start the way you are. But I always found this to be a problem, the more stealth you go the more harder it is to create an environment! Anyway you can place unit by a window? instead in the closest? I know the heat can sure build up in their!

If you cannot get fresh air from a window as suggested try some ice in a bowl. This will raise humidty a little bit, but you should see a nice decrease in temp.
Good luck.
Good luck.
I wish I could but no, my only option is to bring air from room to cab then exaust in closet instead of from closet to cab back into closet. I wasn't into the ducting sticking out of the closet but it seems the only way for the girls to be happy. So I'm gonna have to cover the venting duct with something to make it less suspicious.

stick the ducting up a robe or something. I dont have a robe lol but when I was a kid I always got one for Christmas from old g parents i never see. My iguana was broke my lid off the 108gallon tank and got out and hid in the robe. My lizard was 6 feet long, so that kinda made me think about ducting lol. I kinda messing around, but might work and might help drape over your grow box? or grow cabinet

Man you are one lucky guy!!!! No heaters. Dude my furnace is 90amps, I also run two base board heaters that each are 1500w and 3000Watts in my water room. Not to mention the nasty 14.9amp 240V heater in the grow room. Thats the power I use for heat.!!!!!! But all in all, sounds like u are on the right track!
