Hi everyone,

I have a few questions and want to know if i am wasting my time...

I plan on building a 2.5x2.5x4 grow cabinet this will be the actual grow space i will also add an aditional 2 feet on one side to house electical timers fan and co2

I will be using 2 300 watt leds (Viparspectra actual watts 136+ so prob 150-160 i would guess) giving me 45watts per square foot.

I plan on growing 2 plants lst and keep good spacing between them for be and scrog.

I will be growing soil organic i have to look at the demensions of the smart pots but hope to use 5gal. Once my transplants are complete

Do you think demensions for my box will but ok for the potential hieght of my plants i want to keep them relatively shory and spread out with lst any imput or advice would be greatly appreciated

I will be hanging the fan above and inbetween the to leds i figure 160 cfm in that space should be enough and the intake can fan plus 2 smaller oscillating fans should work right?

Can you hang outside the box to save more room for the plants? I have a 63 inch tall tent and keep exhaust fan outside just to save room. Just a thought. Sounds like you have everything planned out to grow some sticky.

What filter did you get? I've been tempted to get one of the phresh skinny filters to save room.

I have not purchased one yet but will be getting a 4in.

With as small as my grow area is and with the 160 cfm fan exhausting the heat from my leds pluss my oscillating fans i am pretty sure i will be able to keep tempts down and lights closer atleast thats the plan
