The thing with taping, stapling, or gluing something up is that it can always come undone. I just think the paint will solve my problem, be permanent, and never let me down and never leak any light.

Great posts, this is really going to help me with my grow, thanks alot to everyone who posted useful information.

This is some great information, it's really helping me save some money by not buying an HPS. +rep

Here are some pics, the first one is of the hanging bracket on the inside of the cabinet (this is what the shelf sits on). Then the next one shows the light leaks on the outside. Basically I want to eliminate light leaks while still being able to move the shelves around. The third are my...

This is really cool!!! Good work man. You have some really nice colas there. I can't decide whether I should bet a 400 HPS or 600 HPS for my cabinet (its of similar size to yours), my concern is that the 600 will be too hot, what do you think?

Well, there are lttle tabs that stick out for the shelves to sit on. They are spaced about every 6 inches vertically so that the shelves can be moved around. It sucks cutting the perfect sized strip to get around these tabs! The light does not go through the mylar, just the gaps like you...

Been thinking about how to fix my light leaks and I think I have a solution. I'm going to take out all of my mylar, prime the inside and paint 3 coats of black. Then I'll put up my mylar again.

Sorry, been busy with school lately. Here are some pics of my cabinet, I'm just using CFL's now and I don't care THAT much about it. But it is a fun hobby and I am learning alot! These fuckers are growing really quickly. Can't wait to actually get some jalapenos haha.

UPDATE: I got in a bit of trouble, so I have decided not to grow. However, I am growing Jalapenos in my cabinet now. I'm just seeing what I can learn for use at a later date. The Sensi nutes are great, atleast they are working well on my Jalapeno tree so far.

K cool, thanks for the heads up!

Alright the Hydroton balls came and so did the net baskets! Pic 1: Got those intake fans for the FLR chamber which should help cool my light and bring in fresh air. Pic 2: Cleaning those balls. Pic 3: Veg growth container test. Pic 4: Made my container that will house the clones after 2...

Damn! I think I found the answer to my potential odor problems. And they put out 1,850 lumens. http://www.1000bulbs.com/Air-Purifiers/9136/

I've got two exhaust fans at the top of the cabinet (Pic 1). Then one fan on each level that pulls air up and eventually into those two top fans. I'm mounting that 4 in 1 fan (all 4 came prewired so I only have to wire it once to that new DC converter) on the backside of the FLR chamber to...

Needed another DC converter to run more fans but didn't want to give Radio Shack another $20. Went to Goodwill and got one from the electronics shelf, it puts out almost twice as many amps as the Radio Shack one and only cost a buck! Net pots and clay balls are coming tomorrow, and the...
