OK...
The build is progressing slowly.. mainly because I want to make sure that I include EVERYTHING... LOL...
check the link in my signature to get an idea of what I've got to work with..
Here are the issues:
Cooling the canopy with fans -
*(I've got 2 low voltage fans that will move 44CFM each through the canopy) do y'all think that's enough? (I've got a chiller too, but I'd rather run a fan than a chiller due to noise and increased power consumption)
*Where can I put the fans or how can I orient them so that there isn't any light seepage through the fan assembly when the lights are off and the MH's are on - I want the canopy to "hold" all the light from the MH's & VHO's. (should I build a baffle system in the canopy to direct the fan's cooling efforts?)
Location of Ballasts -
*Where should I locate the Ballasts for the MH's and the VHO's - in the base cabinet, or inside(or)back of the canopy? (pros & cons)
whatta' y'all think?
