Default Trunk5's 400watt stealth grow cab. Lots of Pics..
Hey guys recently new here and always wanted to do a plant or two for personal use but never took the time out to try, well i did once but it turned out to be a fish tank full of hermies and yeah they got the axe never to be brought up untill now. well ever since reading your guys posts and seeing how helpful everyone is i decided to find sumthing that was like what i wanted to make. and i came across AKDAZE's grow closet and how he built it.

so i begun buying wood and the supplies to build a smaller replica of what he made and this is what i came up with. it is 23'' wide x 32'' deep x 63'' tall. basicly high enough to fit under a closet shelf and hangar pole.

for ventilation im useing a hp 132watt pc power supply wired up to turn on when its pluged into the wall, its quite simple and i have pictures to show hows its done. this runs 3 80mm fans and 2 120mm fans with no problem i might add a few more to make sure my light hood stays cool and for further circulation inside the cab. 2 of the 80mm pull fresh air into the bottom cab and the 3rd 80mm draws air from the bottom and pulls it up top where the 120mm fan is sucking the air out and pushing it into one of thoes $5 carbon filters that was a write up on here works great for now ill know more later down the line. the other 120mm fan is pulling air thru the 6'' duct's that cool my mh/hps light hood.

for lighting im am useing two cfl 2footers on the top for basicly sprouting seed and maintain clones untill they root. then they will go to the bottom where the 400watt mh/hp light is im not looking for a continual harvest but one every few months is fine with me because like i said this is only for personal use. my cycle is going to be 18/6 then switch to 12/12.

im useing FFOF and LightWarior soil for my medium becase this will be my first true grow and will be much a learning exp, also i hear thats good to go with mixed 50/50 with a little perlite. i was thinking of useing the sensi 2 part nutes and grabing some ph up and ph down for the water and what not. also need to grab a thermomitor / hydromiter and my pots/trays. all this im grabing tomarrow morning when i cash my check.

the seeds that i am germing are mostly bag seeds from NYCD and one of the Skunk plants i just dont rember what number the guy said it was i guess thats a good thing hehe. but yes a few started cracking this morning and showing there little tap roots. so i for sure need to get to the hydro shop in the morning to finish off this little project.

but yes thank you for looking. questions and comments are all welcome. and thank you guys for all the knowlege in one place. now with further adoo here are the pics, i hope.

thank you and the 120mm are only around 87cfm, the 80mm less then that i think around 50sumthin. yeah my light heats up alot i need to grab another fan for the light so it has one on the intake and exhaust. ill have a digital therm/hydro in like a day to get exact readings of temp but it was about 87 after 30 min but that was on one of thoes heat sensitive color strips and it was next to the light hood about an inch away just above the light line. ill have it all figured out befor they go down to that part.

Ok guys now is where i need to ask a question or two for now. i have my germed seeds with about a 1/2 inch tap root that i put into rapid rooter plugs. now the bag says to put the seed/cutting in the plug add a little water blah blah then throw it under a cfl for constant 24hours. my question is when do i stop this process? after they have nice roots and im ready to transplant right?.. i have six of them in the plugs and ill only need 4 once they grow up.. also sumthing that made me cringe and im unsure of but as i was putting the germed seeds in the rooter plugs on one of the tap roots snaped in half will it recover? it was just a small part of it but idk. lets say a little sumthing like this "o---/--".. like i said ill only need 4 of them so if it dosent make it i wont be too down about it.

now for a few pics.. more tomorrow.

I dont think that snapped tap root will recover anytime i have ever even touched a tap root they did not make it, but try anyways......but yeah you will leave them in their a good 10-days....keep soil moist but not swamp like...i personally like peat pucks...you soak them in water, they are filled with peat in a nylon bag...drop seed in....walla, see roots at bottom then put them in soil......You will want to acclimate them into the stronger light though....


nice job overall, you will want more circulation...more the better, i have to change my set up around slightly for this reason also.

Peace

instead of using the ph up and down...soak your rooters in bottle spring water with some ST...and a few drops of peroxide.
