Totemic Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Hey, Tell us a bit more about your cupboard, and maybe share a pic or 2. It really does make it a lot easier to give the right advise. I would however, convert all your fans to active exhaust, with passive intake. Make a few more intake holes if possible. With an HID in a small space heat is always going to be your enemy. Your best bet is to get a cool tube or an air cooled hod, and a decent inline fan.

420SA Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Do you have a reflector Fire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Yes i added a birdwing reflector the big logic fan drops down with it iv also got a 4 set auto pot system iv never tried yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totemic Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Yes, I'm definitely seeing way too little ventilation. All those fans are 12v right? I would replace them all with 120mm 220v AC fans at least, or as I said earlier, a cooltube and decent inline fan would be your real solution here.

420SA Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I recently bought one of these oscillating fans http://www.bidorbuy.co.za/item/161058923/Elektra_Desk_Fan.html It's fairly small at 23cm, oscillates and produces a very strong breeze, and only draws 25 watts max. Just a thought as a replacement to your big logic fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totemic Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 See my current small cabinet thread for inspiration Fire. http://www.420sa.co.za/index.php/topic,86.0.html I'm also battling the heat issues and putting the final tweaks on this cab before I run a scrog. Small spaces are really difficult to work with, and you need to really plan well to get everything to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
