What i plan to do is have four areas; flower area ~23"x20"x60", a mother/veg area ~23"x20"x36", a clone/veg area ~23"x20"x24", and an utility area ~48"x20"x12".

Flower Area
I plan to use a 250w HPS, remote magnetic ballast (HTG), and a super nova hood. I will cool the light using the stanley mod. I am still not sure how i should exhaust the area if i am using a passive system. I have a plan to use two cpu fans with smaller carbon filters on both fans. blowing into the utility area. The light ehaust will be sent straight out through the top.

Mother/Veg
I will have about three moms lighted by a 2" 2bulb T5HO fluoro w/ veg lights. Leftover available space will have clones in 1gallon pots.

Clone/veg
I have a Humidity dome measuring 22"x10"x10". I will try to see if i can use closet storage wire, mounted to the walls to hold the humidity dome, and some clones. Otherwise i will cut holes into the shelves and use those. Both the mother and clone area will be vented using passive intakes and two cpu fans going into the utility cab. This area will be lighted using 3-6 cool white cfls.

Utility area
I hope to have all electrical equipment in this area with some room for a drying space. I know that i will have a power strip strictly for the flower area and one power strip for the other.

Any input?

much thanks,

Hey Kailiwela44,

I am new to this, but I just built a cabinet very similar to yours, except I removed the central upright plank, dividing the flowering and vegging chambers. Everything looks alright to me, the one thing I was not too sure about the the 12 inches to marked from the bottom. Is that another chamber? Looking at your mom's chamber, I would feel that it's a bit short. 13 inches from the light to the floor will leave little room for big, healthy mom's for big, healthy clones. Hope that I can help. Good luck.

Peace
