The basement the cab is located in stays pretty cool year round actually so I don't think as of now that I will be needing any improvements on cooling the light. The next thing I have planned is the light traps. And I'd have to agree a scrog would be a great idea ill have to create plans to...

I was worried about the heat from the bulb too but actually its not so bad. If you look at my 3rd post in this thread or at my summary thread: https://www.rollitup.org/stealth-micro-cab-growing/501412-stealth-cab-photo-build-summary.html You can see that the temperature reaches a max of aroun...

This cabinet is really a work in progress so I was planning on troubleshooting a few things and adding a few things. Carbon filter is definitly on the list though and odor is definitly not something I have overlooked in future additions. And you are correct there is absolutley nothign wrong...

Not a bad alternative. Thanks for reading.

Here I will show a design for a light trap that is made from sheet metal. I created this design because frankly I hate working with the foam poster board that everyone else seems to use. Depending on how cheap you can get your sheet metal and what gauge you use, using this design will add...

Thanks man I really appreciate your comments. I really enjoy the engineering side of these projects. Ill be posting a design for my light traps soon. What I really dont like about all the designs that I have seen so far are the material. A lot of people I see are using foam poster board but...

Yes you should try to keep the bends to a minimum however my reason for the bends in this situation was so that the large 6" holes could be cut out of the back instead of the sides. If you wanted to cut the holes in the sides the air would probably flow alot more efficiently however the in my...

Thanks to everyone for the rep. I thought about this too but to me the amount of light given by the light still seemed pretty small compared to the suns light. Well see how the first grow goes and adjust accordingly.

Awesome man ill check it out.

First off I would like to say that i do not intend to grow cannabis in this cabinet, I just thought I'd post this to spread some ideas and to see what people think. To start with i ordered a 42 inch Realspace metal storage cabinet. These can be found at office supply stores like office depot...

I wouldent mine at all man that would be great PM me a link to it id love to check out your blog. I cant say exactly but I would say the total cost is somewhere between $400 and $500 dollars. The two most expensive buys were the cabinet ($150) and the lighting setup (around $200) The other...

Thanks to everyone for the rep and comments I really appreciate them. I just wanted to post the rest of my build for people to see and tell me what they think now that it is done. Here is a picture of how I mounted the tear-resistant mylar which is also diffusion mylar. I used double sided...

Thanks man and I figured i would just raise and lower the plants themselves instead of the lights because I don't want to mess with the yoyos. And do you think the air circulating from the bottom to the top wouldent be enough air on the plants?

So the next step I took in building this cab was installing the power supply for the fans and the fan controller. The power supply I bought online and consisted of just a 12v dc inverter and a molex connector. Here is a photo of the power supply: Shortly after getting it I realized the...

I thought ozone smelled somewhat like after it rains. Also how much ozone would be sufficient for a mixing box? Is 5000 mg/h enough? too much?
