MY semi-DIY STEALTH Cabinet! Version 2.0!

Well after getting a cabinet about 3 weeks ago It has gone through some great
transformations.

Before



Toys!


After



AIR INTAKE


NO LIGHT LEAKS

LIGHTS AND SOME DUCTING


400W DIGITAL BALLAST W/COOLTUBE

FINALLY! ADDED SOME MYLAR AND ALMOST FINISHED. JUST NEED TO ADD FAN AND DUCTING/HOOK UP CARBON FILTER.




WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?

great job so far. maybe a few more pics of your intake and exhaust, to see if there may be any issues.

Great jopb building turning it into a grow cab.

if i had to do a cab grow i would design it around this one

Nevermind, my phone shows the intake better. Looks like someone had fun with the ice pic!!! Not sure if those holes are facing out to public viewing, kinda looks like it. You can get little round vents that look a little more stealthy at hoe dePot or lowes. That's only if its viewable to others as it is. If not, roll on. It is a nice cab

You gonna use this as your grow journal too? What strains you got?

Yeah the vents face the corner in my closet. I'm gonna get some jilly bean to start with, have to wait for funds. I still need to get my inline fan/ducting/carbon for diy carbon filter.

Funny side note, built the cab then forgot to measure the top chamber and wouldn't you know it, the carbon filter doesn't want to fit through the opening. Good thing the top can be screwed off with a tiny screwdriver.

Yep, I'll definitely being using this for the grow journal. I think I might not be able to get thing started for a couple weeks though. Had to quit my summer job because of college classes interfering with my schedule, gotta find a part time job for the evenings.

Thanks for all the compliments.

I was just drilling the crap outta that vent, thought I could save some money and not worry about it looking nice since no one should see it.

Great setup! One question is the cool tube necessary? I know u need a reflector, not required but highly recmmended, but will the ventilation pull the heat away from the tube? I might recommend a small fan blowing through the tube just so the heat doesn't build up too much around the light. Might help keep a consistant temp while the light is on. If ur other vent is sufficent then disregard this. Just a thought, good growing

It's gonna be hooked up to my inline fan that I'm gonna get here in a week or two. One of the ends of the cooltube are gonna be left open and have the inline fan connected on the other end. with the exhaust from the inline fan will be pushed through a carbon filter I made.

Here is a link to a really nice DIY Carbon filter.

And gotta give some credit from where I got some of my ideas for this.

Cool, that's what I was wondering. Good luck

Neato. I'll use this as some ideas for my upcoming project. Make sure you mylar the doors

Yeah, I haven't finished with that yet either. haha keep forgetting how far I am from being done with it.

Nice and simple (that should be the cabinet grower's motto). I like it. Now let's see some buds pumpin' out of that thing!

You're gonna have to stay sub'd for a link. I ran out of funding for a few weeks. (I'm a broke college student)

I will sub sir. No worries, I sympathize with your situation. At least you have the common sense to limit your means. Wouldn't make any sense to cut out a necessity to get your grow up and running.

that sick...how many u plan on puttuing in there? sorry if u already said

Never! I don't want to skimp on anything. I did what I could myself but I think it would be better to buy a fan then try to make one lol. I'll make sure to post it.

Definitely buy a decent fan, I say. Proper ventilation is very crucial in a grow room. The last thing you want to do is skimp out on a very element that can make or break the operation.
