Looking around forums theres quite a difference of opinion on inlet sizes. when you cut, just do it smaller that way you can always increase it later.
If the rule of thumb is complete area air exchange in 3 minutes you could do a smoke test with a kids coloured smoke bomb?

That would be a three minute Air exchange of the grow fridge right? The temperature control box doesn’t need to filter through quite that fast right?

Yes, sorry the fridge only. But having said that, the temp control box will allow foe natural airflow mix in the shed right?

Design is as follows. The wooden box that is temperature controlled will have a vent in it that is adjustable in size and has a filter. The heater and the refrigerator will be in this box. The refrigerator will have an air intake in the bottom. This will take care from inside the warm wooden box. Inside of the fridge is carbon filter vent it will pump outside of the refrigerator and continue to go outside of the box.

There is a lot of good information on ventilation in there. I had to wait until I wasn’t stoned to read it. At the pace I’m going to pretty soon I’m gonna have to learn how to grow. Got a good step-by-step simple tutorial for that? There’s too many posts on how to do that for me to figure it out. I just want a simple step-by-step guide for the first run through.

J, did you have a link?
T, auto's are a great choice for a 1st grow not least the accelerated pace. I never used just one source I toggled through newbie sections on all forums. If J pops a link in go with it. By all means do a good web search bu they all have roughly the same info.

Im not sure how feesible this is, as ive never grow in an old fridge, but ...

Have you considered using a temp controlled outlet like THIS. Ive seen them used to convert chest freezers into cooler boxes for kegs so you can run a tap straight out of them. Could be useful in controlling temps within your box, which i would think will be your biggest hurdle, as you'd be growing in an insulated box that is completely sealed, which is made to hold temperatures in. Your already growing in a fridge, might as well use that to your advantage to ward off heat, regardless of temps outside of your cabinet.
