Help!!

Sup all, New grower here and I need some help. I will be using a wardrobe closet that is 20'' deep, 23'' wide, and about 60'' high. I've been researching a lot and decided this is the best bang for the buck setup I can get High Tech Garden Supply, that being said if I order this setup what will I need as far as ventilation? will it work with my closet it or will I have major temp issues and should just go another route completely? Anything will help!

pce and love

Doesn't appear to be any glass with that hood so heat will be a problem. You are gonna need at least two oscillating fans. I would go with two of these also inductor in line fans. These are available at: Suncourt Inductor In Line Duct Fan - 4 in.: Allergy Relief Superstore

They are cheap and they will move some air. The hardware you need to hook them up you can pick up at Lowes or Home Depot. The 6 inch will move more air but your set up will dictate what size will work for you. Love mine they were a crop saver for me.

Thanks mogie for the quick response. No there isn't a glass lense on that reflector, does it make a huge difference heat wise? enough to purchase a setup with a glass lense rather then one without? it's almost a 65$ increase. Thanks for the link on the fans, would those be sufficient enough to keep the temps in the 70's? if I setup one for intake at the bottom another at top for taking the hot air out? Also what hardware are we talking needing to get these fans running?

Sorry ahead of time for all the questions I'm new at this
Also noticed you're in oregon mogie, NORTHWEST BABAYYYY!

happy smoking everyone

You are buying just the fan. You have to get the cord, plug, whatever you are gonna use to connect the fan and run it thru you wall. You know like 6 inch aluminum elbows or whatever. Now yes it will make a huge difference heat wise and is worth the extra money. You want the temp to not exceed 85.

once again thanks mogie, better understanding now. I remember reading somewhere that you can use phone chargers to run those intake/exhaust fans if the wires were stripped and connected? is this possible? Would 2 of these fans be sufficient enough to keep the temps between 70 and 85?

Go to the home depot buy an extension cord. They cost less then $2 and cut the adpator end off. That is what I did. Splice the wires togather and it is ready to go.

Sweet man thanks a lot, I have 10 lemon skunk seeds just waiting for me so I can't wait to get all this stuff setup and get a grow journal going! I guess its just a waiting game now for the lights and a few other things then I'm ready to go, grow I should say.... I'll be posting pics when I get everything setup & again thanks for the help.

oh btw, Do you happen to have any pics or links where I can find some pics of air-cooled hoods in action? would like some pictures for reference. they have a glass lensed air-cooled setup for only 20 bucks more then the one without.

Step 1. Take down the light/hood and remove the bulb.

Remove the mogul socket by removing the two screws.

Remove the 4" duct adapter.








Step 2. Cut out vent, using a Dremel, Zip, or similar tool. Repeat for inlet vent.


Safety Note: Be smart, use safety glasses and don't do this stoned.
Step 3. Reassemble your hood (mogul, adapters, etc).

Optional insulation:
I use some of that bubble attic insulation (or hot water tank insulation - similar to foylon) you find at most home improvement stores to make an "insulating blanket" for my hoods - every little bit helps.
