Getting real jealous BG !!
A basement is a growers dream.
Nice and cool, especially in the Summer.
How big is that area you're constructing ?
Are you venting from there into the rest of the basement ?

Inside the grow area is 4'-6" Deep x 4'-4" Wide x 6'-6" Tall.
I'm thinking about venting the current grow cab into the bloom area and venting it all out the houses furnace/hot water exhaust system.

Venting from veg area to bloom area is fine as long as there's no males to spread pollen, so be careful.

Yeah, looking into another way to do a front flap for the door too. How it opens now is where the control rez is gonna sit and the air intake. Gonna see how much over hang there is when I do the celing and go from there. Wish I had a 600w Yield Master II hood with a Hortilux Super HPS for the bloom room. Pickin up the 4" Vortex fan and coal filter tomorrow.

The light and hood set up is straight.
But that 4" fan/filter combo will not be enough for that 600 !
The fan is 170 CFM.
WITHOUT the filter AND no bends or curves with the air flow !
That 600 is gonna produce so heat.
You need at least a 400+ CFM 6" fan, ESPECIALLY if you're gonna rock a filter with it.
I use a 276 CFM CanFan with my 400w Hortilux with NO BENDS, just 3ft of ducting from my tent and straight up into the attic.
My ambients hover around 82F !
Get my point ? ^^^

I was talking to my boy about that 600W. He told me the 400w would be perfect for the room size. But this room is going to be either a Veg or Bloom room so I'll mount the 400W I got now and when I build the other room I'll set it up for the 600W if I get it.

That's cool too, but you're still gonna need a stronger fan, even for the 400.


I got this fan...

Got it all for $141 tax and all!!! The guys @ HydroHeaven hook me up every time for not going to Harrys Hydro. I like HydroHeaven cuz they have everything you need without having to order it then wait a week to get it. The crack up is harrys has been around for 60 years and HydroHeaven just started on year 2.

I'm gonna use the Active Air 4" fan with the coal filter for the smell with them Home dePOT 4" duct fans in the vents to bring in the fresh air. I'll get a 6" fan for cooling the lights after the other room is built.
