ya man she's working great, it varies depending on outside but it only goes between 74 to 82 degrees, the plants seem to love it, full of clones now, i put the larger girls outside. Gunna get a second one as a flower chamber, and just use this one for clones veg and mothers. All I got goin for vent is the freezer fan (cut a hole at the back so it could suck in) and three small computer fans as exhaust in the back, i can take couple snaps, I also added some more lighting, I'' put pics up tonight!

Looking good buddy. The temps and all holding up for ya ok? I need to get a veg cab built pretty soon.

So how much actual time did you spend on modifications? also how much are you gonna charge ppl to replicate this product? you might just be able to turn this into a cash generating hobby, lol

I'm totally impressed. I was thinking about building a grow room if I can manage a first grow, but maybe I'll just grab a few curbside refrigerators. That would be a whole lot cheaper. Thanks for the string man. I gave you an excellent rating.

maybe with the cooltube at the back wall so as to give the plants a little more grow space... lemme know if you are gonna have a grow journal for this and link it.

that's nice stuff, i really can't wait until i have a basement to do the things i really want to do. right now i can't use anything that circulates water as i can not afford to spring a leak while it's unattended. i probably will do a grow chamber in a fridge at that point and use it for a vertical grow, and use the fridge to control temp. i'd like to do a drip or spray possibly. now i just have to wait about a year for me and my girl to buy a house =-/

yo I have just seen what you are doing and great minds think alike I have plans to do the same thing, by getting a free fridge off of Graiglist but seems like you are doing awesome I had a few Question about how I was going to go about this but you may have given some good blueprints. I agree that someone has had to have thought of this before but I cannot find hardly anything on the net about the construction of it, Just mentions of having such a thing. The only advise or comment that I have is that I am going with a freezer on top fridge on bottom type fridge( I think ) and my buddy told me that all I would have to do is undo the compressor and it would stop cooling the rest is already their for you venting an airtight environment to trap smell etc the only need I belive is what is going to hold your lights and plants at the height you want(which will be simple enough I think)a fan and the lights, some and I mean the newer or real expensive older fridges already have a filter in them to eliminate all the mold mildew and smell crap that old food makes. with this info, if correct, i will put my babies on top(in freezer area) and the mommy and teens on bottom(in fridge area). I also think I will like the width room of the top/bottom design better. Another thing is the freezer wont need smell control and the fridge you can put a 16.somethin dollar febreeze carbon filter with built in fan plugs in to an outlet to control that area a bit, but remember the thing is airtight so the only time it will smell is when you open it, like with the rotten food in a turned off fridge, Anyway I haven't even started yet so what can I really say But It is a badass Idea Great work. Can't wait to get started
