I think I have a small problem with ventilation chamber now that i checked it again :'(

The inside Height of cabinet is 180cm exactly, but I thought of adding one Ventilation Chambet where the hot air will go with the help of the fan then to the carbon filter and out from a simple hole at the back of the cabinet.
The problem is that after I installed the chamber I have only 150cm height to place my led and plants(that is only for the half cabinet the rest is still 1.80) cause the shelve is same length with the doors.

Should I keep it or just remove it and install the exhaust system somewhat diferent and if yes how?

So seeds are into water papaer towels but the rockwool still isnt here for some strange reason :'(
Light are here tested and i think 4 leds missworking or something...

they are the 5th from the top 4th from the left at all sides
are they dead or just the colour is like that

You can't see UV or IR light with your eyes, all the lights are working mate.

by the way ur not even going to need them 200w CFL's with that 1200w panel

If you put some sunglasses on and look at those diodes with no light coming from them you should see a small glow coming from the center of them. That is the diode working. When just glancing at them they look like they aren't working. Just the IR light and nothing to worry about!

Yeah go the 1200w l.e.d I bot one going now aswell. Kk is right u wont need the cfls with that baby subbed. I vote AutoDurbanPoison.

 

[KannibisKing]

couldnt remember if it was IR or UV lol u can't see them both anyway

 

[kyliekay]

Kk is also right u cant see the ir or the uv light unless like mindzeye said. As u can see here on mine it looks like one is not working but it is

Great great so happy to hear that!!
I am making my self dirty open Holes and trying to fix the the hanging system for the lights....
If the max high i put the light is at ~1.60 would be enought to cover the 85x140 box?
I am making it adjustable So I can lower it at start.. arround 25cm from the top of the pots should be ok for that lights or too big for 2 plants?
Most guides say arround 20cm from the top of the plant will that be a safe way to go?

 

[KannibisKing]

I'd have it like 100cm, although dont quote me on that because i have no idea how powerful the 5w mars 1200w panels are. should only be putting it 8 inches if its in full flower really.
