600W Mars Hydro Eco 1.5’x3’x4’ Black Indica First Grow

[DreamingTrees7]

Hello. I just built my grow box out of an old dresser and put it in my bedroom closet. It is 3 feet wide, 1.5 feet deep, and about 4 feet tall. I have 2, 6 inch 180 cfm inline fans from Home Depot to extract the heat produced by the 600w mars eco led grow light. I cut two 4 inch passive intake holes to let the exhaust fans pull air in. No carbon filters yet, I’m gonna make my own because I need two. It was getting up to 90 degrees with the light on with only one fan so I put a second 6 incher right above the light to suck the heat directly away from it. I clipped a little 6 inch fan on the wall for circulation.
I lined the walls with cardboard and thumb tacked a shiny camping blanket to the cardboard. I used hooks and chains to hang the light so it’s adjustable.
Germinated in cup of water and paper towel in a ziplock and got 100% success with crop kings black indica fem seeds. I highly recommend this seed bank to any other beginners. Put sprouts straight in the 12x10 air pots and three days after I put the seeds in to germinate I now have weed babies . I’m trying to post pictures for you. Any questions I will answer ASAP so I can get any much needed advice from veteran growers. Thank you

I’m worried about height, light leaks, and ventilation of my gro box so I’m switching it for a 2x4x5.5 grow tent. I’m keeping it in my closet so I can close the door and nobody would know it’s there. I installed a second fan right above the mars hydro eco 600w led grow light to help cool things off and cut a big 6x7 inch square hole in the door for more passive intake air but when both fans are on they seem to fight each other so I would need another third intake hole. It’s getting complicated so I’m just buying a tent.
I’m also getting a second mars eco 600w to set up in the tent. So I’ll have two 600w mars eco lights in a 2x4x5.5 tent with two 6 inch duct fans up top. I have thermometers, timers, air pots, fox farm nutrients, happy frog soil, ph meter, up and down, and a little heater with a temp switch for the off hours. I’ll take pictures when it is here and set up.

For now I’m going to take pictures of my two black indica feminized seedlings when light comes back on at 420 planted directly into final air pot containers to show their progress and see what you think. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
