Just built a grow place out of an old armoire. Its actual size is 3x2x3 with a set of drawers at the bottom. I have a 6 inch desk fan and a parfactworks 2000 full spectrum led. The armoire is in a metal utility shed in my back yard. Do I really need a exhaust hole as my concern is cold air getting in during winter months. Im hoping with the doors closed the light will put of enough heat to keep the plants happy. I leave the doors open now as it’s still hot in the day time. Please take a look at the pics and tell me what uou guys think. Im gonna remove the drawers to get more vertical space. The plants that are in it now are doing pretty good I think.
Cool, I used mylar film, is works. Just leave the fan in the ceiling there., The fan that lets the air in, should be on the same side as the big fan you have, but at the bottom of the environment.
Then place the one that takes the aire out on the other side not necessarily at the top but close

@THE-1EYED-BANDIT @Tyler @mewaner46 what do you guys think? Any input ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
You need a way to easily cycle in new air though!
Is a 4 inch hole near top opposite the fan gonna work?
It looks nice to me. Plants looking good.
I personally don’t feel comfortable using tinfoil, I know it reflects the light, but also generates hot spots that can burn your leaves, I wouldn’t recommend the use of tinfoil.
As Tyler said, the air needs flow, and you’re not renovation the air, just moving it. You’re going to need to put a fan that lets air in, and other that takes the air out, that way you generate a flow besides your the fan in the ceiling.
I don’t think a whole will help, even though you are aiming the fan towards the hole.

That’s not tin foil although I thought about it but its the mylar film stuff. You may have told me previously not to use foil. Tobget air moving do I put a hole with fan at bottom for intake and top for exhaust as well as the fan on top?
