Stealth Hps Cabinet grow

Ok guys, I built this cabinet for around a hundred bucks. I picked up the cabinet at a local thrift shop, it's 36" and 18" deep and wide. I scavenged a 100 hps industrial lamp, and paired it with a couple of scavenged bathroom light fixtures ( running four 36 watt cfl bulbs in soft white. For ventilation I used two 80 mm computer fans on an adjustable switch for my intake. I paired a 6 inch house hold fan with some 4 inch PVC pipe, 3 pounds of Activated carbon pellets, and half a sheet of air purifier charcoal sheeting. Second grow in and I'm still scent free, and hold an even 82 degrees lights on and 75 lights off.
For strain, I picked up some pineapple kush seeds from N.L. Seed bank. I have this plant in a 6 inch planter pAired kellogs organic patio soil. I vegged for two weeks At 18/6 and switched to a 12/12. At four weeks old I saw my first white hairs!! I then mixed 50 percent strength super bloom, that was ph'd at 6.8. Flushed 2 gallons of clean tap water ph'd at 7.2 at six weeks old. At week four and six of flowering I used full strength doses of ph'd super bloom. I have flushed again at week seven of flowering (puts plant at roughly 11 weeks from seed). I'm now at week 8 since first white hairs here is some pictures, I hAve worked very hard on this so please be nice :)

Considering the light intake is on the weak side I'd say you're doing quite well! Many growers like myself started small and enlarged quite a bit later on. You're doing just fine.

You should use about 100 w per plant, or square foot. You can get away with less but more energy the better.
I really like your exhaust system! how did you put a 6 inch fan into a 4 inch pipe? or did you use a reducer?
What exactly does house hold fan mean also; like bathroom fan?

Kinda dive-bombed on the stealth aspect somewhat. Not many people would not notice what appears to be a black explosive device strapped to the back of a white box. ;)
