Just so you guys know I am back in business with a WAY better grow this time!! Not sure if any of you remember but I had a northern lights grow awhile back but gave up... well one day I got bored and completely re-made my grow and its pretty fool-proof now!!

Here are some pics of the cab and one of my last grow..
As pf right now I have 5 seedlings that just sprouted I will post pics of them in the morning after a full night of lights.

I like the stealthy black duct tape.



What you should do is get some hinges that mount on the inside and are concealed - then get some small half round mold/trim and attach it center half way off the perimeter of the door panel. Thus, making it look like a design on the stand and not a door, and it gives a bend acting as a light trap which could be enhanced with some thin weather stripping.

Thanks for the tips man... but all I do is peal back the tape to open it up once every 2 days... it takes me only like 30 seconds to do and I can re use the tape like 30 times... its just tucked away in the corner of my bedroom and no one would ever notice... not that big of a deal to be THAT stealthy.. haha

Plants are still doing great! This is my third grow and I don't think I have ever seen seedlings take off this fast... will switch to 12/12 probably in 5-8 days.

I actually decided instead of doing 12/12 lighting starting now I will do 18/6 to get them used to a dark period for a couple of days and let them grow a bit larger.... I will also top them the day I switch to 12/12 I will also be feeding them about 1/8 strength nutes in the next couple of days to give them a boost...

I'm intrigued by your grow, and would like to see how it turns out, subbed.

Bad news... was out of town for two days so they didn't get watered and I was so busy I didn't water them for a day before I left so a few of the leaves wilted but they grew ALOT so it doesn't matter to much anyways...
