I agree, site does work, lol.
Now comes the fun part.
Very nice grow cab too. Is it vented at all?
Was gonna convert an old 36" tv to grow in but thats pretty sweet. Also hows it sealed light wise?

Thanks. I'm super excited. I used an IKEA kullen wardrobe closet ($150). It has two sides. I use the smaller right side for vegging and the larger left side for flowering.

I have a 6500k 150w cfl under a sun systems reflector on the veg side and 2700k on the flower side. One plug on each side.

I vented each side individually with two computer case fans ($15 for 4 at Fry's electronics). I use one to pull and one to suck on each side. It vents 35 square feet per minutes so they are getting a little movement and also a constant flow of fresh CO2. I wired the four fans to an AC adapter and plug them into one wall socket

I use foxfarm organic soil

Water every other day lightly, sometimes third day if the top soil is not crispy

And, feed twice a week with; Grow More Orchid Food Growth Formula.


I plan to use the Flower Formula starting today.


I'll try to keep you updated.

Oh yeah... For the Light sealing, I used household caulking for all the inside edges

and used thick black felt on the front door edges and applied it with a hot glue gun.

Super super easy jobs and working perfectly.

Can't see the black felt when it's closed, and keeps the light inside without any leaks

I still hate on ikea! this is the only thing i own from there but it's great!

Comes white on the inside and you can put it together in less than an hour.

I decided to not install any of the shelves, but if you wanted to you could make two grow spaces on each side!

It deffo looks sativa to me m8, maybe your not growing what you think your growing......

I would only advise that you get some side lighting for the flower room. CFLs have low penetration so i would suggest getting a few smaller wattage cfls and adding them wherever they'll fit.

Very nice looking plants though!!!

Hope this helped.
