Let's do this!!!

[Sinisterhand]

I started with a 1000 watt BIG OLD SKOOL hps ballast with a hood in a 4x5 attached outdoor closet. Over the last few years I have grown a little. This is my latest addition. I am adding a veg/clone space and installing some new equipment.

First, the frame up! The space is 4'x16', identical to the space behind it.
Second, installing equipment.

I hope those pictures explain themselves,but just in case here is some info. The four Next gen ballast are powering some new lights in the flower area.
I put a air exchange in at each end of the room, their are inline fans moving the air in a big circle from flower room to veg room and back.
I bought a new heater core and positioned it in front of the flower room intake. I use a 800 gph submersible pump inside my 55 gallon reservoir to push water through the heater core then through the chiller and back to the reservoir. The air being drawn through this is cooled by 15 to 20 degrees.

SO youre running 2 MH and 1 HPS in flower?

Have you thought out how you are going to block light 100% at each air exchanger?. If not you may run into a light leak on both ends of your rooms. Causing you all kinds of problems.

I didnt want light pouring through those air exchange holes so I cut a old flood table in two and positioned it face up over the holes and secured it with a few screws. I hope these pics give you some us useful ideas.
