Well guys i have been posting on here for some time and i have also shared a good bit of photos. Today i decided to let ya'll have a peak of the new finished set up. I got the last parts in yesterday and i am pleased with it.

the line up

3x3x5 cabinet built out of 3/4in plywood
1 4" 50 CFM exhaust fan
1 9'' 110 CFM intake fan
2 6" 50 CFM circulating fans
1 6" exhaust 435 CFM Inline fan
2 4' Flourcent fixtures with 6000K bulbs
1 250 watt HPS/MH HTG supply
4'' Ducting
DIY cool tube

various hardware like chains, hooks and zip ties. Right now i am able to keep the temps at the same as the ambient temp. I have a 24,000 BTU A/C unit cooling the room that the cabinet is in. This area is big enough to hold 25 1.5 gallon pots. I will be growing some purple Jems in here very soon.

So let me know what ya'll think

I think it's great. Ambient temps for an enclosed space = you've probably done your homework sir. I'm not very handy but will be trying to get a cabinet up and running one of these days. Good luck with everything!

Thanks man i appreciate that. This didnt come easy lol. Tons and tons of trial and error to get the temps right. Finally got a great deal on that inline and the cool tube works great. Pulls out the hot air and i can put my hand on the actual glass tube as well as the reflector now which couldnt be done before

Very nice. Is there a link to the diy cool tube? I am just getting ready to build something similer. Is it that tough to keep the temps down in there. That seems like lots of fans.

Nope not at all just trying to simulate multi directional winds. the little guys don't cool that much. I can take out the white ones as well as the little ones on the floor and the temp will only raise a half degree lol. The inline fan does a lot of of the heat removal.

They DIY cool tube instructions are in my head, i actually built it by the seat of my pants. This is the second or third time that someone has asked me that. I guess ill go ahead and make a build log on it.
