i built 2 rooms in my attic. One for veg and one for flower. Anyone with a house in the southeastern US knows that the attic is maybe 4 ft at its tallest and hot/humid as most any tropic area. It took me damn near 6 months dialing those two rooms in so my temps wouldn't fluctuate more than 74-84 degrees F. I was pushing 100+ degrees during the summer before I got a couple in-line fans and started pulling air from the AC'ed house. The first harvest was a disaster. Between high fluctuations in temps, spider mites and fungus gnats, I was able to get about 2.5 zips from 4 sickly plants. And the smoke was like freshly cut grass. Well, I'm 3-4 weeks from a healthy harvest, but my old ass can hardly get to the veg room anymore. My in-laws asked us to keep this hutch/cabinet for them. I'm assuming that we're gonna end up keeping this thing. So, since my back is killing me crawling into my veg room, I decided to take stuff I had laying around to build a veg closet out of their cabinet. Let me know what you think...
Outside of the cabinet.

Bare. Just lights. Homemade carbon filter. Back, over cut-out opening, with 2 fans bringing in AC'ed air from my office, 1 circulating fan, all 100w equivalent CFLs, top w/ 300w CFL cloning chamber. All on 18/6.
Top clone dome has 1 lemon og kush and 1 white widow. Bottom vege chamber has 2 WW, 2 LogK and one 60 day wonder auto from seed (first day in soil).
Temps range from 73-81 F depending if the lights are on or off. Pretty happy with the setup. Can't believe the HM carbon filter works!
