Help Converting an Empty T.V. Shell into a Grow Cabinet

FantasticBuds · Jan 29, 2011

I just recently gutted my old fifty inch television from the nineties, and am seeking to convert it into a grow cabinet. The Tv Measures at 52" High by 40" Wide By 18" Deep. I'm going to be using either a 400 Watt MH or a 600 Watt HPS depending on ventilation issues. I'm seeking to grow anywhere from six to ten plants depending on how tall they get and how many become male. My target yield is anywhere from a half pound to a full pound every two months, and I will go from soil and seed the first run, and after that I will convert into Bubble-ponics and go from clones to bud.

Let Me know what you think I should use for a light, venting, and how much you think I'll produce.

Lets see! Wooden cab, 40"w, no rm. 4 4'fluorescents. Are you going to use external ballasts? those mh & hps will produce lots of heat. If you go CFL you could line w/mylar w/ less need for high power cooling & venting fans. dont know about yield but i would guess your close w/your estimate. im just finishing up a stealthgrow pc cabinet myself. Good luck!

If I add two small oscillating or tower fans, that should reduce the temperatures, right? I might just go out and buy a conversion lamp for this thing.
