AGSteve...
Each Chamber has a Fan in the upper left hand corner.. the top chamber has a small 4" fan I had just laying around... the 2nd chamber has a cooling fan from an old microwave also about 4"... both of these fans are AC and I spliced them together to the same cord.
The Veg chamber has a 4" pc fan... powered by a 12v ac/cd adapter.
All these fans are temporary, but are working great... On my next setup, I'll try to order a matching set of 120mm AC fans.. Sunon 120 x 120 x 38mm (4.72 x 4.72 x 1.5 inch) High Performance AC Fan 110V - 120V (UL Rated)
I also want to build brackets to easily atach and remove the carbon filters to the fans.
but those are plans for another day.
All chambers have a passive intake that consists of pvc elbows.. which also do a great job of moving the air around the cabs.... no inside cab fan needed
Here are pix of the elbows from the inside.. and outside

thanks zen
do you intend to add fans to the intakes? or do you find just an exhaust fan enough. in my current setup with 2 125w enviros im finding temps getting close to the 90s but that is in a cupboard with the door closed. obviously i'm keeping the door open at present but this wouldn't be possible in the flower stage so i'm looking at possibilities of a grow box/tent in my kitchen.
ebmpapst do similar fans to sunon. i dont know if they are available in the us tho.

No intake fans needed... the temps are in the high 70's low 80's. I even placed my vidcamera in the cab and closed the door... opened it and played the video... as soon as the door closes a rush of air come in through the intakes. You can see the lower branches and leaves waving in the "wind".. it was exciting to see that
...lol using the smaller 26/23w cfls make it easier to control those temps.. but those 2 125w enviros sound nice man. I'm sure you will be able to tinker with the intake and exhaust to get those temps down a bit more.lol... haha thanks Rictor it's much appreciated my friend
Update...
Today I tucked and pulled under the screen and added tie-down LST to the lower chamber since it has become apparent that bling bling alone wasn't going to tame these bad girls.. lol
At this point I have to feed them every day... they are drinking a lot, and buds are getting bigger.
I also trimmed any lower branches and buds that were to low to get any light.. letting the plant concentrate it's energy to the top buds.
Here is a close up of one of the trimmings...
Here is a tub with two packs of salt under a paper towel.. I'm going to place all my trimmings in there from now on and make some hash or hash oil out of it later.
I finely transplanted my remaining clones into there mother dwc tub... but waiting this long has presented a problem... roots are too big
I gently parted the roots in two..
Cut a few squares off the net pots..
Fed the roots in...
And wedge in the peace i cut off horizontally to hold in the clay pellets...
That is not ideal, but it's a quick fix for now.
I used the larger of the trimmed lower branches from the girls and prepped them as clones... they all have a lil. bud at the end and they will have to reveg. I'm doing this more or less as an experiment.. if for what ever reason it doesn't work, or takes to long.. I can quickly replace them with fresh clones from the larger clone mother.
And here they are... Guys.. the locker is now officially filled to capacity.. 4 plants flowering.. 2 mothers.. and 8 clones.

very nice wolf. looks like you got this all wrapped up. How long you gonna run this for? you gonna veg and bloom out your clones and start somthing new? I'm sure you have somthing cooking in that brain of yours. Probably easier to start with clones than seed, faster anyway.

OH yes, working from clones is going to make everything easier and faster =].. I'm going to keep the locker going until I move.. I'm planning for a move soon, maybe next spring.. until then I'll tinker with the locker until I feel I have it all down... then I will build another one with better planing.

Sure.. I'll get some pics tonight
Thanks.. and I'm glad I could help... as for the saltpacks.. they absorb moisture and prevents mold. It is a good idea to keep all your trimmings after 12/12... you can make hash or cana-butter with them.. why waste THC =]

Update...
Clones are going through some kind of change, and it's different from before.. I guess they are in the process of re-veging since I took them from flowering mothers... I didn't get pics of them, but will next time
The 2 young clone mothers are growing nicely. I topped them both and removed some fan leaves to promote branch growth.
With the flowering girls.. I got a problem in the top chamber.. It turns out that the air line to the air stone had been pinched.. I don't know for how long but it had to be less then 2 days... The plant showed me right away and here are some pics... you will see what I mean.. just look at the leaves...
I fixed the pinched hose, changed the rez and added some h2o2... we will see how they respond.
