Building a stealth Super Cabinet (at least im trying) - Page 29

Hey FMJ, just checkin back on your project while i'm still scheming up my own.

I will be doing the same thing as you pretty much, with a Sandusky cabinet, but i plan on going vertical inside it. As far as Air Conditioners go, I think I would be in the same boat as you. Even portable air Conditioners are way overkill for a cabinet of your size. Upon looking more into the thermoelectric peltier devices, I believe I may have found a solution.

Thermoelectric solid state air conditioners, electronic peltier cooling devices - EIC

I am not sure if 800btus of power is too little, or if it is overkill for a cab your size with cool tube'd lights. They also have smaller or larger sizes, but I figured 800 was probably the best fit.

The best part is, you can make you cabinet completely sealed because the hot and cold sides stay on either side of the cabinet. They also have an accessory which makes your Thermoelectric AC recessed, meaning you could still have your cabinet almost flat up against the wall, and it wouldn't look conspicious unless youre looking right at it.

I havnt researched it fully, and I dont know how many watts it would draw, nor the most likely hefty pricetag. But I still have a couple more months of research (and fundraising) before I will use it.

All I can say is Holy Fuck. That is one bad ass unit you go there. I've been reading the shit out of this forum and I gotta say that this is the best thread I've come across as far as in dept step by step cabinet making. Thank you for all the information you've posted. Please give us an update as soon as your able to. Would like to see the final project. I'm planning on building something similar to your unit but I think I still got more learning to do (building and growing). Hopefully in about 3-4 months I'll give it a shot. Also when you get a chance please post the equipment you used and the cost so we could get final figure on this great investment you've made. Once again TY.

Thanks Doc.

I will be updating tomorrow i think with some changes i made. I started my first grow on the 4th of July and have been busy with that thread but do want to finish this one out.

All you guys... Doing C99xA11 and maybe another strain. If you are interested stop by grow journal; the link is in my signature text. I would apreciate any advice.

FMJ, missed message, please reply. Need to know what you think of turn key
operations? can spend the money, don't want to be ripped.

Will your lights drop to your plants, or will you lift the plants to your light?

The mother cfls are stationary, i will simply change their wattage for instead of height.

Both the t5 and hps are on yoyo hanger things. So yes they raise and lower and the plants stay stationary. They are like 10 on ebay inclusing shipping. Same ones that are on the htg website.

As far as mass produced cabinets if you want to but one, i personally think the SuperCloset is the best value on the market right now. I say go with the 400 watt and no CO2. 600 watts is too hot i read. Depending where you live you are looking like 2300-2400 including shipping for a real nice unit with everything you need. If you pay money order or check they may knock some money off. At least that was the offer they made me when i called to ask questions.
