Well ladies and gentlemen I would like to thank all the members here that have posted useful information, I have learned so much from you all. I've been wanting to start my own personal grow for quite some time but have only started doing research for about a year now. I decided to go with a cabinet since my lady gave me shit about taking over her walk in closet I also considered growing in my attic but tested temps up there and they went up to the 120s and it's not even summer yet.

Since I'm beginner I went with a 150w hps. I will upgrade accordingly to my skill level. As far as strain, I went with White Rhino. I sometimes have trouble sleeping at night and was told that this particular strain helps with that. I have two seeds germinating at the moment using the paper towel method, I checked last night and seen a little bit of tap root. Anyways here are some pics. Questions, comments and advice is more then welcomed.

I'd say that is pretty awesome! I think you did a great job. I recognize those same fans and light in my grow box. Do you have any place for fresh air to be blown/sucked in?

pretty sick man!

very nice man, i thought my homemade box was nice. you take the cake and eat it my friend

i saw those cabinets and was about to buy one myself, but decided that i would build myself one for much less. it looks great though. only thing is your gonna want to add an exhaust fan and a passive intake hole to get the air circulating in the box. Also if you can i would try to vent that hood, or build a cool tube. Heat and humidity will be your two biggest problems with that setup.

Thats a beautiful attemt thats much more than would ever think of hand crafting.Good job man

Thanks for the kind words fellas. If you look at the last picture you can see where I installed an exhaust fan on the top right hand corner, it's a s&p td-100. Also at the bottom you can see some black things sticking up, those are my two 4" passive intakes which I have made light proof and also added filters in them so bugs don't get inside. I have placed the cabinet in my music room so continuous fresh air can be drawn in to the cabinet. I realized once I started drilling holes in the cabinet that the quality of the cabinet wasn't all that great but I said fuck it since I was already half way done with it. Next upgrade I'll build a cabinet from scratch.

Any of you all use s&p fans? I did a dry run last night to check temps and humidity and my fan quit working for no apparent reason. I uninstalled it and checked the wiring and all looked fine but I couldnt get it to run. Guess I'll give them a call and have them replace it.

Looks like they'll be sending me a new one today for free. I told them about my situation and no questions where asked. I don't even have to ship the one I have back to them.

Where did you get the fan from?
