Stelthy's 600W Hps Project! (New-Cab)

Hi Stelthy,

Slick set-up bud.

Look into getting hinges that would suit your top cab from somewhere that sells kitchen cabinets. They can be rigged on the horizontal and/or vertical surfaces and can include an 'arm' to hold the lid open while you do your thing.

Maybe a little easier than fitting a hydraulic arm as you suggested earlier in the post. Yes I read most of it!

Best of luck.

Hi dude. On my unit there is not enough room for a muffler, you could try boxing the fan and filter off, and/or you could wrap some breathable towels around the filter, I have both boxed and wrapped as well as sound proofed, this should help write back soon let me know your thoughts, Cheers - STELTHY

I got a couple of ideas from people on my new forum....kinda a homemade muffler idea. Kinda looks good, check it out if you have time. Thanks for the support and ...

WICKED CAB MAN!!! I am very jealous!! Someday I will make one hopefully half as nice as yours!!

Peace

Ok I admit ... I need some help!! I need to fit hinges to the top of my unit, to hold a horizontal door, it needs to be hinged from the top so the door can be lifted from the bottom. The whole unit is made from MDF so I'll need suitable hinges, any imput, especially helpful imfo. will be greatly recieved and rewarded with REP !!

For the hinge I'd use a piano hinge, it will be mounted on top of your box, with 20 + mini screws on each side you'll have no problem with the weight of this small door. Add a hydraulic hold arm and you've got it made. Any questions PM me.

Wow I can't believe this. I've never seen such attention to detail. With this box you can do all the experiments for a cabinet grow that people have asked for years.

How many watts can you put in 30 cubic ft (1 cubic meter) ????
Will heavy metal or rain forest sounds increase yield in bud????
Is ultraviolet a plus to plant growth ???? (I say yes to this one)
Can you hide all the sound in a HID grow ???
Can you automate a hydro system to be hands free for 2 weeks ??? (Oh yea that's my upcoming hydro build)
And many more cabinet options.

Kudos to you and your patience in building this project. I could not have spent this much time designing and building the perfect box, I need some bud now.

After many hrs of reading I need another beer this is my favorite day to day brew, give it try if you can find it.

Best wishes to you your wife and new addition to your family.

and oh yea I'm subbed to see this contraption work.

so apperantly the argument here is that it would be ok if he was growing a ton of weed and selliing it (much greater risk of getting caught), but thats its toalyy not cool and a risk to his family to grow a small amount of weed for his personal use(Much smaller risk of getting caught). Im not sure that i follow this chain of illogic

Man.... this was from the early day's of this thread lol, that dude was a CLASS A DOOSH lol nevermind I've progressed alot further since then and luckily for me and my humble follower's I do have a brain unlike that chump You should find this a good read Volc. I've doccumented everything as well as possible and I have millions more still to add, pull up a chair and enjoy, many thanks - STELTHY

Hi peep's, its that time again... more updates coming, - STELTHY

I ran a temp check on the 250w MH bulb with the doors closed to see if the unit would stay at 26oC or below, without the air intake porting cool air from the loft... and just taking it from my room instead............ it did!!! happy day also the in-line fan ran quietly without the need of the turbo.. I ran the test for 4hrs and the ambient temp was just 25.6oC and since MH's burn hotter than HPS I know know the 250w op. Is going to run flawlessly - STELTHY

I've been pretty busy doing other things these past couple of weeks I'll post a few pics then back to the unit - STELTHY

I drew up Dave Grohl's (ex Nirvana Drummer/Foo Fighter's current lead guitarist & singer) tattoo design for a mate of mine, the pic was the size of a stamp and the only one I could find of it in google pic's lol but being the dude I am I found it pretty easy to just draw up to scale... My mate worships Foo Fighters but insisted he wanted the design upside down on his arm instead of the correct way up & on his chest so ... I did it and here's the design - STELTHY

Here it is freshly done not bad for a 1st tattoo - STELTHY

Here's the finished piece in all its healing glory hope I finish my unit soon, I've been pretty side tracked this week but my project is haunting me in my dream's at night and I owe it to it and myself to finish it soon but as you can see by the 1st updated pic I just uploaded its not to far from being completed, or at least completed enough by which I mean I can start a grow - STELTHY

I've also been piling on hench dinner's I am no Chef, but in terms of content this was well nice ...... - STELTHY

And so was this - STELTHY

Then it was a few days of boozing it up with my drinking buddy followed by alot of other drinks and a lot of hangovers and sleepy bong and duvet days lol - STELTHY

Any how... I managed to focus and get back on track and proceeded to further mod my cab - STELTHY

Once the doors were closed there was still the issue of light leeks, and as I earlier said I would address this later on, ... Now is the time to do just that! - STELTHY

I bought a cheap strip of wood from B&Q and un earthed my wood saw from my crap shed... clearly this saw has been neglected but fuck it lol - STELTHY

I cut down the strip of wood into 2 halfs, and held them in place behind each of the doors to make sure they fitted and also did the job for which they were built ...That went well, then I covered both strips with silver tape A) to preserve the wood and B) to colour code Then I pre added the screw's due to the awkward limited space I had in which to install them - STELTHY

Then I cut a piece of anti-vibration sticky foam to size and in half - STELTHY

And then added it to the front side of the strip of metal tape covered rod, I added the foam tape so that when the doors close, the foam creates a nice seal and completly stops the light from excaping/entering the unit - STELTHY
