Hey Guys and Gals! Im excited to start a new thread! Hopefully i will have more followers on this one lol
I have built a 3x4 Cabinet out of an old Cabinet that was at the house when i moved in, Ugly little thing! I have installed a 6in duct fan at the Top of the Cab that i use for my exhaust, it all goes out to a Small Carbon Filter that was purchased off Amazon.com. I used Insulation inside of the Cab mainly cuz i had a HUGE roll in the barn and it seems to work well. Also im using a mix of 2700k - 6500k CFL bulbs and 2 80watt T5 lights. If u have any other questions about how the Cab was built or more items that im using please feel free to post or PM me!
I currently have 2 Female plants in the Cab, 1 plant is BillyMaze Haze and the 2nd plant is Super Lemon Haze. The BillyMaze is a Full Sunlight outdoor Indica plant and not really enjoying the indoor Cab, Hopefully she will straighten out and perk up with the New setup and now that the big Northern Lights plant is out of the Cab i can focus more on these lil guys! I also planted 3 more plants, 1 NL, 2 & 3 are BagSeeds!
I will also be building a Cloning Station during this thread within the next 3 weeks! I will be using a 105watt 6500k Daylight CFL (the biggest CFL i have ever seen)

Hope to see some past friends following and hopefully will be making new friends as well!
Also, this Cab is for 100% Medicinal Purposes, I am a pt and these plants are 100% legal! now that we have that said lets see some pictures!!! :)

Nice man! That 105 watt CFL must be a real monster. I have a 45 watt one and I couldnt get over how big it was when I got it. I got it hanging over my flowering plant and it loves it... I will be getting more.

Where did you buy it? I am fixing to start a refrigerator vegging box and would like 2 or 3 of them if they aren't too hi... I think I paid close to $20 for my 42 watt one and it is a 300 watt equiv.

Hey Buddy first off thanks for stopping by my Thread, make sure to sub and stay active!

Im currently using a 5 Drawer Cabinet. I removed the bottom 4 and made a 3x4 growing room inside but left the top shelf for supplies and some electrical. (so glad i did that, made it smaller inside but i love that drawer, i sometimes pull it out a bit and it looks so legit)
I used silver bubble wrap insulation for the inside, taped and glued on backside. I then bought a Light Bar for above Bathroom Mirror, it was 8 bucks at Home Depot and is made for 4 lights. I then purchased Y splitters for the light bar so i can have 8 lights on the bar AT LEAST! I also have small plastic Light fittings on the side for my T5 lights when the plants grows a little bigger! (not in use right now) I have 2, 24in Full Spectrum Flouro Grow lights, those are the purple side lighting u see in the back corners! When i first built the Cab i noticed that the temps reached well above 90 degrees F, so i had to figure out how to keep it cool. I went ahead and purchased a 6in inline duct fan for my exhaust, i attached 6in flex on it and fed it down to a Carbon Filter for the smell. After i did that i noticed i didnt have an Intake soooo i made a 4inx4in hole in the bottom of the cab and attached another 6in Flex to the hole, Using PantyHose i placed a home made screen on the end of the 6in Flex so cat hair, paper, dirt, and random shit dont get sucked up in the Grow Cab. I have so so many CFL's from 2700k Soft White 40w light, Full Spectrum CFL's 6500k, and DayLight CFL's 5000k. All 40watt+. The T5 lights are both 80watt and i dont run much unless i open a window and place my intake close by or turn off some CFL's due to the fact my T5 lights run very hott! Im using Compost for my soil (my own mixture) Its Top soil 20%, Peat 20%, Compost 20% and the extra 40% is usually what i start my seedlings in! If i forgot anything hit me up and i will be more specific.

:leaf: ps wouldnt let me upload pics from comp in this message, kept asking for URL.

Whats up yo! Glad to see you've continued the grow op. I just now noticed that you have the lenses still on those walmart grow lights. I suggest you take them off to increase the lumens your plants receive.

I'm sub'd again to see how the 2 Hazes turn out :D
