Default Grow Cab with Pics..
First run on a grow cab.. Box was made with the idea of doing 8 Lorryder type's at a time, or, one larger but LST'ed rather than upright, this plant just sort of took over the box, she is quite demanding.

16in wide
15in deep
30in high
1 2700k 65w CFL - Side
1 2700k 85w CFL - Top
1 80mm exhaust fan
1 seed, unknown for sure what it is, but its nice and small. =) Another time I would have LST'ed it into a circle.

These pics were taken at 40 days from seeds being placed in something wet. It was flowering the next day with little white hairs poping up all over.

In the outdoor plant shot, it had just been cleaned up, only cola tops were left, all inner growth was trimmed, fans remain. Loads of 11 finger's from the second node up. She has 16 branches in that short 20in height.. I considered removing the bottom 6, but chose not to, just remove the inner I thought this time around.

Couple questions.

How are you keeping light from coming in your holes at the bottom?

How are you keeping light from coming in the hole where your exhaust is?

Is having only an exhaust creating enough airflow to keep everything cool?

I use those same hinges on my cabinet and I'm having issues with the door ripping my foam seal constantly.

Having any issues with that?

I focused on preventing light from exiting, and when I got that done, I was content with what light could get in.

I have the lights on only in the daytime, and the cab is in a dark room, no outside light comes in while dark. ie: garage.

I have the cab placed in a corner, aginst a wall, on the outside around the exhaust, and inlet I have used an old shoebox, cut it up, bent it, and duct-taped it into place to make corners and allow airflow around the edges and to assist in preventing light from exiting.

This fan is a tornado.. its wicked.. I had originally had it pointing in, but it was killing leaves, it would dry them out.

I am also using the high tech method of placing duct-tape over the intake holes I drilled to help control and direct the air into the cab.

Having no problems with the hinges, they came with the cab, it is part of a build your own kitchen cabs from a box type setup.. I am using some very sticky winter door seal, I tried to place as much of it as I could on areas that would have as little movement as could be arranged.

My main concern is, I do not know if my lights are enough.. I had considered getting a 150 or a 200watt CFL for the box, but thought I would try these first.. These I have convert to 450watt incadescent.
