i like it. good size cabinet, nice and simple. taking notes on building my own.
keep us posted.

my suggestion: Hawaiian Snow (Green House) or Pineapple Chunk (Barney's Farm)

edit: what type of intake/outtake fans are those? been looking for both types via plug/usb.

Hey bro thanks , the cab is simple to build and cost under $100 all up .
The fans are 230 volt plug in type , got them from local grow shop $15 each
They blow mounted one way or turn them around and they suck .

I hope those fans cool your room.
Did you run the light and fans a few hours and check the room temp?

The weather is going to turn cold soon and I hope this works for you.
Looks good my friend.

Those 3 fans keep it at around 27-28c the whole time , i did have a few probs when the plants filled the cab and i only had 2 x fans then .
So i put an extra intake fan half way up cab , and fixed prob , also if room gets to hot i have ducted air con through house , turn that on for half an hour rom is back
down to 20c in no time .
Yes the colder weather does make it heaps easier though .

Thanx for looking in bro !

I had a 400 Watt bulb years ago but the room would get too hot and dry.
Spider mites then as it became summer my plants just dried up and died.

I run 10 cfl's now with 1 small fan and a lot of leaks.
It works better than the old 400W bulb.
I had to take part of the grows wall down to keep it cool and run a desk fan but it still was too hot.

I'd like to try it again with a modern 400W in-line cooler, filter and build a new tighter room.

I run a desk fan at the top of the room. Angle it until all the plants are moving to prevent mould in the later days.

Nice set up nutes ! your power bill would be down aswell would it not ?
Plus you would get more light in to places when they get really bushy .

With the old bulb it would then triple electric bill.
A new 400 may be different.

The grow is brighter than the pix looks like but I agree,
Cfl's suck as compared to a real bulb, much less the sun itself.
