this looks great the biggest concern is controlling all the heat from your lamp the best way is to have the air removed from the cabinet... i have been thinking of light to fan to exterior carbon filter set-up w/ a seperate intake fan to bring air into the room from somewhere else.... i havent really found the good info on the easiest way to cool a light and a carbon filter w/ one fan... my idea is t have the fansucking air out of my cabinet through the light and then blowing the air through the filter.... i am unsure of if a carbon filter works best in the grow area or externally...

yeah bro one thing that i had a seriously hard time containing with my first 400 watt was the HEAT. Those things really let it out if you dont have an air cooled hood. Be prepaired for that. HID lighting for such a small area is a tough one. Some people would probably even tell you that having a 400 watt hid in that room without an air cooled hood could be a fire hazard. If you live in a cool place though , you may be better off. Im in florida and its hot here : ( . only other thing i saw was the thermometer/hygrometer should be a) level with the plants canopy throughout their life b) if you have hygrometer , the main reader should be 2 to 3 feet above the light at the top of the room to measure heat rising and sensor should be at the canopy level of plants out of the light. Good luck. Any other questions , lemme know.

hi im living in the uk so it dosent get that over here. the air intake is taking air from outside and the extractor has a fan that feeds hot air out (like a pc tower) throught a carbon filter into a under stairs area so no smell outside or in home i hope.:?
