i am putting together an up-right single door freezer for a grow cab...it is large enough for my needs since i will be growing autos in it...it is light tight and insulated...it is common for them to be seen in utility rooms or garages so no one seems to notice them so it can hide in plain sight...you can put a lock on it and say its now a tool box if asked

i have a 200w cfl 6500k with a hydrofarm light hood...the light hood has a glass for it...dont know if i will use it or not yet...i have some surge protectors i will fasten on the sides to put the bulb adapters in for side lighting...i have primed and painted the sides and bottom flat white to reflect the light...if it doesnt reflect well i will line it with duraflect i have on hand

i plan to supplement the grow with co2...i am going to mix yeast/sugar/water in a 1 litre water bottle and drill a 1/8 hole in cap...i will see how that goes as well...i am still un-decided about the ventilation...the intake will be passive...just dont know which fan right now...not sure on how much heat it will generate

i will be growing in soil...TLO style...will use ocean forrest for the base mix...going to put a couple worms in each pot to cuddle the roots...lol...got some soil cooking outside right now but may have over ammended it...i might donate it to a new compost pile and start again on a new batch

i am going to be running autos in this cab...i have 5 different strains i ordered and one strain i was gifted so i have many to play with...plus i will be on the lookout for some killer pollen to make some crosses with...i have lots of killer indoor strains but i dont have the room to run them so i will run the little autos that dont get no respect...lol

sometime in the next week i will update this thread with pics as i am putting the freezer together and getting it ready...w99
