home made from scratch grow cab 2'deep 3'wide 4'tall
nice lookin little house
is it operational now ?, moving plants in soon ?
no not yet my 125w cfl will should be here tomarow and i have 3 pc fans that should arive monday and i stilll need to figure out a roof because i took the first one off it wasn't level because some of the boards were warped and too much light was getting through. but i cant complain the only wood i bought was the 2 sides and front the whole frame was an old box spring i took apart the back wall was plywood i had sitting around. all the money that's into this thing is the cost of the light fans and air pump and a few dollars for paint

the pics go from oldest to newest. the first three have the old roof and braces still on the walls. you can see the air tube coming out of the floor in one pic and the air pump is mounted on the bottom of the box i will also be mounting 2 PC fans on bottom for intake and one PC fan hooked up to the PVC pipe for exhaust. im going with the PC fans because they are very quiet. i panted the whole interior with koolseal a roofing paint that is highly reflective and elastic/latex so it has water proofed my floor also. i painted my PVC piping exhaust black so that light doesn't travel down it. put the cab on wheels so it easy to move around.put the power strip inside box so there is only one wire coming out of it.had to put the lock on it i plan on telling people if it comes up that it is a gun cab. and my wife doesn't let me open it haha. i will also be painting the exterior walls black and staining any trim the same color as the stained wood that is on there now. im sure ill be working on it tonight after work again so more pics will be up soon thanks for looking

Looks good. not sure about hanging the bulb vertical though. Unless you get rid of the shade and do a vertical scrog. That would be cool.
Everything written on here is a figment of my over-active imagination caused by mental health problems due to low THC levels in my brain. All pictures are posted by a mysterious stranger who hacks into my PC when I'm not looking. I'm not even sure I am real.
Id suggest getting/making a better reflector out of some metal and having the bulb horizontal, like this from my favourite grow cab ever:

Other than that small snag, It looks like a quality job. Also I dont think a PC fan will pull much air through all that pvc piping, you may have to invest in a a nice inline fan. Just run it for a day when the bulb gets there and monitor the temps carefully and go from there.
Big thumbs up from me
nice grow box! ill be lurkin'
