First Grow Ever with CFL's and T5's

So here it go's, I started building my box a week ago or so with help from Matthebrute and radeonDEUS and now its up and running, I got one 2' T5 pannel with 4 24w T5's in it and 2 125w cfl's, for the medium I'm using fox farm ocean forest, 3gal growing pots, for the first grow I'll be growing some bagseed that I got from a friend, I know nothing about the strain, all I know that those three beanz that I got are germinating as we speak, so with in next 12hrs they will be going in to the soil, I'll post some pic's of my set up and u guys can see and tell what you think. All the thanks to Matthebrute and radeonDEUS for or the help, couldn't done it with out you guys so my thanks to you. Some pic's of the box. with the door closed. view of the exhaust fans. another view of the ex. fans.inside of the box. one of the 125w (6400k) cfl. other side with another 125w cfl. top view? So this is it. Next phase will begin when the beanz will go into the soil. I'm open to any new ideas and improvements. I'll be posting some new pic's as soon as the beanz will go in the soil, and I'll be updating this journal on regular basis, so Thank you all for stoping by.

Thx, man..and thanks for looking.

So just a lil update out of 4 bagseeds that I got only one germinated and its in the soil, but nothing sprout as of yet, and other thing my box is running hot 88F any ideas on how to cool it down a lil bit? I got two 4" intakes, two 4" exhaust with pc fans running, and two 6" fans running inside the box and my temp is still showing upper 80s, with enough air circulacion should I be fine? or should I have something to worry about? Thx for looking and hope to hear any ideas.

Just a lil question should I use pc fans on the intake or just leave it open I mean the intake with out the pc fan?? Thx.

i always pull from outside. so i have passive intakes and active exhausts. this tends to work better as it leaves negative pressure in the cab so no smells leak out (as much)

great to see you start a thread man. everyone freaked about losing a months worth of work, and consequently things have been SUPER quiet around here. anyway kudos, subbed, and +rep

oh and i wouldnt worry TOO much about those temps. my flower cab is like 90...guna fix that but again not something to freak out over...

Al right home made, my favorite. I made all my stuff, too. I live at 5,000ft so I been worried about cold. It really the temp. at the plant tops, should be like 80. Good luck I watch. Look at my home made stuff, my grow is in my signature....rw

how those temps coming man?

I am able to keep them in the high 70's. I run my light at night, cooler in summer and warms it up in winter....rw

nice rw cooler than mine...im in a basement and my flower cab tops at 88...lil warm for my liking...

acid where u at man?!?!

Sorry for not being active but had some stuff going on in rl, Midwest that's where I'm at
The temps they are ok I think between high 70s low 80s, but the weather was mild past two, three days but when it will get hot again..I think I'll have some temps issues.

roofwayne thx for stoping by and very nice setup in your sig subbed

radeonDEUS I'm kinda shit out of luck, out of my four bagseeds only one germed but it never popped above the soil so I got some beanz from attitude but you know how it is, now its a waiting game I'll either get them or get a customs letter, but so far in a week they made threw isc nyc sorting fac. for past two days nothing changed it says it was processed threw sorting fac. in N.H so maybe if I'm lucky enough I should get them by the end of the week. Will keep everyone post it..
