Building a stealth Super Cabinet (at least im trying)

Hey thanks, Nick.
I had seen that method on here before also. I may end up giving that a try, but I was hoping not to have anything jutting off the back or sides of the cab. I may just have the 45's positioned on the inside of the cab, but then they will be taking up space inside...

Still trying to work out the kinks, but threads like this one and everyone's kind help are greatly appreciated!

Alright, progress time, spent about 12 hours yesterday working away.

Cut some more ducting...



Almost all of my equipent is here... cant wait to get rid of these boxes...



Painted my door locking mechanisms..




Painted inside of ducting black...

More painting...

Paint i used is Krylon. Flat White Epoxy, Flat White Plastic binding, Flat Black Epoxy, Cabinet Color Epoxy. Painted different layers between watching some GOLF players championship...


Painted the register for my intsakes


Painted top of Venting for the 1/8 inch that protrudes the top...


Painted the Can Filter


Painted by brown and black light fixtures white with the pastic binding flat white color..

Now the doors....

Lined doors with thePanda Paper...


Simple way to seal the veg chamber....




Added some weather stripping to door area of cabients...

Final install of the fans, and ducting...

veg chamber exhaust td-100 fan pulling though can filer 2900


Flower side exhaust td-200x pulling through can filter 33


Light Cooling Flower Room- td-200x pulling through 600hps 6" cooltube




Around the other side......

Added the ligh...tight fit but works well... I used screwducting attachments things in case i want to swap my HPS easily for MH or replacement...

On to veg..

Covered everything in panda or painted



Added some goods... That silver ducting back right corner is just representing where by C02 tank will go...



This little box will house my dual diapram air pump for both veg and mother.


2 sets of these

Forgot my intakes...

view from top w/ cover installed...

Flower intake....

Guts... bottom to flower..top is the veg... Raised in the center on purpose to force closure of the dampners when exhause is not running..

View from the outside...There is a filterette filter under that register to keep my air coming in clean.. Also blocks light....

Below the register looking in. You can see my dampners are closed....

damn its lookins so nice, its def. going to be worth some $ when your done. When your done with it, ebay that shit!!

Hey i have a q to throw at you, how much quieter is the 100 model blower? Or atleast try to answer, ik relating sounds is relatable to the special olimpics..

glad i could help........i have mine sticking into the cab instead of out i did 2 2" intakes one on the left and right and angled in such a way that they dont take up much space....

This is where i am now..did some initial testing on noise, temp, and lighting. Some more pics of the current status are below..

In the next week hopefully i will have time to add the electric devices like tri-mter, CO2 evriro control, temp/hum monitors, etc.

Also I need to build my grow mediums. Not sure weather hydro or aero yet... May start a dirt grow while i do those..not sure yet..I just got 6 strains of seeds.

Will also test with different techinques to reduce fan noise, temp, blocking light from getting out, etc...

Once again, i appreciate everyones support and advice. Please keep the advice coming as I want to make this a good cab as i previuosly stated....

I will reread the posts and answer any questions I can here shortly, been kind of short of time and a few of the questions i dont have good viable answers to ...YET...

Late

dammit full metal.........after this grow is done im tearing down my cab and starting over...you did friggin great....

I agree with Nick!

FMJ this cab looks kick ass! What are your initial findings from the test runs you've been doing? How are temps? Airflow seem OK?

Where did you find those dampers for the intake vents? They are a nice addition.

Thanks for all of the details! I look forward to seeing some plants in that cadillac cab!

ya for sure once i fuck with this rubbermaid im gonna try n build
first time building first time growing
im gonna have to try make some shit like that

I have 1 question as far as the plasma cutter goes, could'nt you have used a jigsaw with a bi-metal blade, cause I know for damn sure that plasma cutter wasnt cheap!!!

This cab looks like the sweetest cab I've ever seen. Propz + Rep for sure!

oh god...i just popped the biggest chubby checkin out that cab.

congratz man! looks wayy better than the commercial cabs.

quick question though, are you going to be able to raise/lower the cooltube?

Thanks for the comps

The dampers are fantec 6". they were like 15-20 bucks each.. Definitely worth it though. Keeps the air/smell in when the exhauset is off. Also keeps the light out when the light during night. I am using C02 so i needed them to keep that in as well as the C02 sinks. When the c02 is added the air in the cab needs to go somewhere so the thought is that the oxygen/nitrogen air will only be able to exit out the carbon filter essentailly being passivly pushed by the addition of the C02.

I will report on temps, noise shortly but I already know from initial testing that they wont be an issue. Both of my large fans pull 478 cfm. One dedicated to cool tube and one for exhaust through carbon for the flower chamber. Being that the dimensions of flower are 3x2x6.5 and if you subtract sq ft for the res..Im looking at like 33sq ft of air. Although my fan is rated for 478 i run it at about 310 which with the addition of the can filter 33 carbon filter reduces it to 200. The can filter max recommended is 200 so it can scrub the air properly. So if it runs at 200 cfm I can clear the flower chamber in 10 seconds. All fans are on fan controolers though so i will not be maxing them... The veg chamber exhaust /intake is completely independent and is alos overkill. I will report on testing in more detail later.

Funny you mention moving the light tube..You have a good eye bro...Yes it will be adjustable with the same light movers from HTG you see above my T5. I broke the ones for my cooltube. They have a black ring around the bootom that I thought was intended to remove so you can bypass the pully mechism to gain the 4-5 inches of extra height. That was not the case ..IF YOU REMOVE THAT RING TEH THING FLIES APART IN A MILLION PIESCES. So I will replace the set I broke for the cooltube. What is is hanging by now is my own circumvention of the HTG hangers to gain that 4-5" in case it is needed. So I will use them HTG hangers with my own ring rig in for max flexibility. I do not have this problem for the T5 because of the carbon filter above it, i can always spare that 4-5 inches. I still have 25" of room between the top of my rubbermaid and the bottom of the T5 in vef.
