I like the plastic bag idea that's a great little tip and i have read that being able to move the lights especially CFL's is optimal it just was not in my budget for this certain box I already have an idea about making a 2 stage box out of an old Armour my parents are getting rid of, vegetative in the bottom and flowering up top. Plus its hard to see in the pictures i have 3 fans working 2 in the bottom circulating air in and one up top pulling it out.

Someone earlier mentioned using some boxes to raise the plants closer to the lights so this is what i did.
Because i think im getting some stretching which i don't want because id like to flower these with the same setup. And the space in the box wont work with some monster plants.

You know you can run the PSU with out the mobo right?? http://www.dslreports.com/faq/9208
Also your exhaust needs to be 2 times that of your intake.. otherwise you are wasting energy. Good luck

what i did to my Cabinet to light prof it i took a stack of paper and cute it into strips about to what ever thickness needed then rap it in electrical tape then glue it on so when the door closes it seals the light

That cheap black foam weather stripping works well. It comes in different widths and thicknesses and comes on a roll. It is adhesive and sticks nice. It will create a pretty tight seal on there. It only costs around $5.00 a roll and would doo your whole cabinet.

This rubber seal rockymtnman mentioned also works pretty good at keeping the bud-smell where it should be.

Those are great ideas for sealing off the light thanks alot for the tips. If i get this to work though i already have plans for an armour my parents are getting rid of so i can have the veg in the bottom with two sides one for a mother plant and other side for new seedlings / clones and then using the top area for flowering now they just need to move so i can take it.
