Cabinet: Roughly 4 foot tall 28 inches wide 22 inches deep

Location
: Under Basement stairs

Air Flow: 2 pc fans 1 in 1 out

Light Setup:
4 fixtures on a wood board. Chain adjustable. Covered with Mylar. Also have Y connectors so It will be 8 total lights.
UPDATE make that 8 fixtures on my light board with a total of 6.6k lumens/sqft....26.5k in total

Lights
12 x 26watt 1600 lumen 6500 daylight 2x32 watt 2100 lumen 5000 bright white 2x23 watt 1600 lumen 2700 soft white

Timer
: Yep. 3 prong

Socket
: GFCI added for cabinet

Extras
:
Temp controller to keep temp between 76-80 with probe at plant level (Note: it is not 65 degrees really, I just plugged it in to get a good pic. Im not using it right now.) (Also: I would not have used this if my buddy didnt have it laying around already unused. Reason being this is like a $100 plus temp controller. We also put a relay on it so it would control temp up and down instead of just down. So now it kicks the pc fans on if the temp gets to high and the "custom heater" if the temp gets to low)

"Custom" heater. Its a light inside of a heat sink casing with a pc fan blowing down over the heat sink which is letting off the heat from the internal bulb. Light proof. This is to keep it warm at night when its lights out. The fan on top of this unit is always running so that way there is always some air movement. The bulb turns on when temp gets low and the fan pushes the warm air coming off the heat sink down toward the plants.

Carbon Filter: Not right now. Will add in a few weeks when smell will become more of an issue. It will get mounted to the outbound fan to kill the smell.


Also: As of right now I have the 1 plant I have growing for now under a flipped over rubbermaid that is inside the cab. This is because the humidity is 60-70% under there and its only topping out at 40% in the cab. Going to move it into the cab soon so it can get more light.
Using cabinet now. No rubbermaid in there.


PS. I did everything for as cheap as I could so if you have any questions on how to do something I did or how to save money or anything like that, hit me up.bongsmilie
