    Default Small Veg Cupboard - Extractor & CFL Shroud Recommendations

    Hi guys, long time no post
    I've built a small veg cupboard

    I've got a 200w blue spec CFL but need a shroud as the weight causes it to bow?
    The heat did slowly accumlate without an extrator
    So looking for an extractor, got a 6" hole currently.

    I did have a cheap plastic 6" inline fan but really wasen't very good, nothing compared to the 6" RVK which almost sucks the big tent in half lol

    So looking for some sort of middle ground, can be smaller in " if needed but ideally looking cheapish suggestion, eBay is full of generic shit






    Cheers

    Rvk is a good mid range fan. You could get a variac for the 6 rvk thst you have. Or get a smaller rvk you can get them 2nd hand for pennys

    Yeah man, already got a variac so can use it but kinda wanted the fan inside the cupboard (well the cupboard next to this) but the cases are so big compared to the 6" tube lol
    But yeah im keeping the look out for a cheap s/h 4" rvk i think would be good

    I also like the look of the SunMate CFL holder

    I think you may have a light leak there, mate.

    Haha,
    Light leak fixed :P was orginially going to be the inlet vent, but obviously due to the light leak that won't work so drilled a 4" hole in the lower half of the cupboard and then when the door is shut it is dark

    Sorry quite an update, been busy and not really thought to update this but any way
    In the end just used the 6" RVK & Variac i already had, works really well actually so no added expense there.
    I already had the Blue Spec 200W CFL (swapped from a 300w, wish i kept now i have better air flow)

    Bought a better shroud from eBay second hand, picked up one of the PowerPlant CFL holders, which also came with another blue spec 250w and 250w red spec - £40!

    So, flipped them about 8 days ago, switched the lamp last night
    Doing really well, 2 Tripple Cheese in there at the moment.

    Temps are perfectly controllable with the InkBird i have which is setup to turn the extractor fan off when target temp is met, when the lamp brings it back to 26c it pulls back to 25
