The grow cab is the side compartment of a computer desk. Height = 20 inches Width = 11 inches Length = 28 inches 1.) I drilled several holes in the shape of cpu fan on the bottom of the cab (considering it's elevated), if I have 2 exhaust fans on the back of the cab will air be forced up into the cab through these holes? 2.)When mounting a power strip to the side of the cab (for power purposes, not for lighting) would velcro or double sided tape work better? All suggestions welcomed
Yes and Yes. Just don't block the intake vent holes. I did a similiar setup and it worked just fine. Your space is way more confined than mine was 10"w x 14"d x 48"h but once my plant filled the space up it was just a solid mass in there. But the fans worked and it had enough fresh air to produce, was it ideal, no far from it but it was what I had to work with. I've seen velcro used to mount power strips that had plug in type sockets (just a socket with to plugs on it, like the end of and extension cord) holding CFL lights. The velcro allowed the lights to be moved around pretty easy when needed.
I mounted a pc fan to a piece of cardboard, then mounted the cardboard on the back of the cab, temps are now down from 90º to 80º I mounted the power strip with duct tape, works just fine, now my setup is alot more organized. Good vibes GC
