Mother cab design

[Cimis]

Hello!
Sorry for my bad english, I hope you guys can understand me!

Anyway, I'm trying to make a perpetual grow, with 1 mother, 30 clones in veg and 30 in the flowering cab. If all goes according to plan I hope to get 2.5 oz (75g) a month with a 250 hps for the flowering cab. Do you thing it's a reasonable prediction ?

The strain will be AK-47, it's ok for SOG ?

I have a lot of questions about everything but now i'm building the mother cab so let's focus on that.

It's 21in (52cm) tall x 24.5in (61cm) x 15in (38cm)





In the first pic the fans blow directly on the bulbs and in the second, air first goes up and then on the bulbs and out throw the carbon scrubber.

Please tell me which one you think works better and how can I improve it!

I like the first design.
You can probably improve by moving the fans to the other side.

2.5 oz per month is very reasonable once you get everything dialed in.

Hello Cimis... like bob said, those fans will not cool lights and blow excess thru carbon scrubber...
maybe another set of fans at the scrubber might work... but generally those compter fans arent strong enough to blow thru those scrubbers....

You might just try intake holes in the floor and double computer fans 'above' the lights for exhaust of cfl heat..

T5's run at cooler temperatures (F/C) and might give you an inch or two more height...
Home Depot.. double t5s with bulbs.. Less than $20..


GLuck.

BTW.. your English is as good as mine! LOL!

thank you guys for the replyes!
very good idea to reposition the pc fans! I will try to improve it and post a new sketup pic.

The pc fans are better at pulling air through a scrubber rather than pushing it through. The fans should be more than enough to keep it cool as long as the scrubber, intakes and the type of fan are all coordinated. Check out scrubninjas guide to pc fans for more info.
