when I said door gaskets I meant weather stripping. Sorry about that. I use one on the door, and another around the edge of the door frame. I also replace them at the first sign of wear. For the insulation you can just use styrofoam panels that come in 4' x 8' sheets. They start at 1/2" thick and go up to around 2" thick. I just used some white half inch and then panda filmed over that, and it cut my noise down signifigantly. I also insulated the inside of my door with egg crate to help break up any sound bouncing off of a hard surface. I would suggest buying Gorilla Brand tape for your project. It is about $8 or $10 a roll, but once you use it you will never buy duct tape again. It is the best tape that I have ever used for any project. It is very versatile. I have used it to tape panda film down to concrete. Nothing sticks to concrete, but this shit stuck just fine. Sounds like you are going in the right direction. Now you just have to get in there and build it out, and fuck up a few plants. I say this because that is the best way to learn. You can read all day online and in books but nothing beats experience. Once you see a nute deficiancy in person you will recognize it for the rest of your life. The same goes with everything else. Just remember to have fun with it. Because what's the point if you are not.

thanks dude, i am def gonna get those styrofoam panels and insulate the cabinet. That is a good idea

I know this is gonna be quite an experience. My parents come into town the 26th of this month so after that, work will begin. How much time does it take outta your week?

It took a good couple of days to finish out the build. Now that it is going it I might spend 15 to 30 minutes a day on watering and looking over the plants. On nonwatering days maybe 5 minutes. Once you get it dialed in you can just sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor. It is well worth it.
