Medium - Aero/DWC
Light - 400 Watt Digital running agromax bulb(not included in the budget)
Grow Type- Sea Of Green
Yield - 700g = 1.75/gpw

dimensions are 3w x 4h x 3l it has a stationary "tunnel" shape at the top to allow even light distribution.
Ventilation currently is 140 cfm inline fan pulling air through a sealed cool tube. cab ventilation will consist of a 90cfm pc fan connected to a temperature gauge set at 87 degrees. C02 will be provided via fermentation providing 1300ppm. It will be sealed using a refrigerator door seal with a thin piece of metal glued around the frame. it will run 25 single cola plants veg to a height of 8'' - 10''. my hopes are for 25 oz or 700 grams. well pics provided through sketch up once I'm done building I will make a full post with pictures.
Questions comments always welcomed. :bigjoint:
enjoy the show.
front view the ventilation system is not yet complete still need to finalize a decision on it. the bottom container will be aerated through a 362 gph pump connected to 10 360 degree micro spray heads all independent of the cab to enable it to roll out of the cab to have easier access to the plants. (useful for I'am a lazy stoner)
nutes will be my own mix of compost tea. 4 cups compost 1 cup guano to/5gallons. I add a splash of pond water for more microbial life.



here you can see the curve in the top of the cabinet creating a parabola shape to allow more light distribution to the plants. I have 35 "trouble maker" (Hindu kush x Master kush) clones getting ready. once every things complete I will provide more pics.:leaf:

As long as you can keep it cool it sounds like a nice plan. Your cab is 36 cu. ft. My tent is 52 cu. ft. and i had some issues keeping it cool until i cooled the light. Since your running a cooltube i dont see an issue with it. I'm about to have a cabinet running 600 watts with cooltube and i believe i can manage. So good luck on the build.
