Thought I'd let everyone see what I've going on in my closet.
Here we have an ordinary sterlite cabinet I bought from Wal-Mart for like 85 bucks. I insulated it with 1 inch of styro foam insulation that I had left over from a remodeling job. I sealed every seam in the plastic and between the foam with caulking. I keep my balast and power strips under neath the grow space. I use one shelf and its set as low as it can go. The inside dimensions of my grow space are 22"w X 13"deep x 60". the cabinet is 70" tall. I can stand inside it with the shelf removed.
Next we see the Panda film that is stapled into the inside to create a second door and a nearly light proof growing enviroment. The light leaks through the zipper but that is corrected with the Foil tape lined doors. I used a construction Dust cover zippered door way for the zipper. Its a pretty nice zipper. the package i bought on amazon came with two. I should have used both of them. Then i could put one on each side and unzip both sides and roll the door out of the way. (Hind sight is always 20/20) I fucked up the first zipper by placing it upside down I tried to remove it but it caused my panda film to rip and I had to start from scratch again. Luckily I had a fuck load of panda film.

This is how I'm venting. Ihave a TD125 5" 200 CFM fan reduced down to 4" and that is blowing out of my dryer exhaust duct. Odor control is handled by a 200cfm carbon filter that is nestled right beside my fan. Its a tight squeeze. I had to cut about an inch off a couple ducting adapters. I'm pretty good at crimping that shit too. All my ducts are taped with foil tape. My grow space is about 19 cubic feet so that means that my air is getting replaced about 10 times a minute. You cant smell it at all from the out side.

Unzipping the panda and un fastening the 2" wide velcro strip that I use to seal the top of the cabinet. Its stapled to the Piece of plywood that I cut and mounted to the top of the cabinet. I forgot to mention that earlier. I think this cali outdoor that I am smoking is making me forgetful. But anyways, We see a shitty picture of a little bit of my homemade reflector and pyrex bake a round cool tube and we see the Nicely filled in screen of green. I'll get some better pics of my ducting and light later. The screen was originally 24" x 36" and me not wanting to be wasteful, I bent the screen until it was basket shaped and re wired it together to create a stadium of sorts. The edges of the screen are about 6" higher than the center.
Lifting these lovely ladies Skirt will reveal a nicely shaven set of 8-10 legs that branch out numerous times to fill in the screen. I promise, at some point in this post there will be some bud shots. They're shitty, because Im taking pics with my phone because its easier for me to email myself the photos than to plug in my camera to my comp. Ugh damn it, I'm rambling again, these are 5 gallon smart pots filled with FFOF cut with perlite and a brick of coco. I feed sunleaves bat guano teas with a little cal mag and some molasses. Im having problems with fruit flies living in my dirt. they dont seem to be bothering my plant any, but they piss me off. I'm getting some fly traps from a friend this weekend.
Heres a pic of some honey wine I have bubbling beside the cabinet. hopefully the co2 is making it in there. I have a piece of aquarium hose running inside my airlock and into the cabinet. It might not be the best Co2 generator, but when its finished its about 15% alch by volume and gets ya hammered.
This will be cherry flavored.
I have 4 plants growing in my cabinet. Its crowded as hell but Im making it work. I recieved these little girls when they were about a week old. They are as follows:
1: "UP Kush" Pink Champagne x Afghan Kush (Indica dominant pheno)
2: "UP Kush" Pink Champagne x Afghan Kush (Same pheno as #1, In same pot as #1)
3: "LCISS" Pink Champagne x Island Sweet Skunk (Les Cheneaux Island Sweet Skunk) Recieved as clone. all others were from seed
4: "UP Kush" Pink Champagne x Afghan Kush (in same pot as #3 very stretchy sativa dominant pheno, from same parents as 1 & 2)
They were planted from solo cups into the smart pots on December 11, run under a 400w Hps 24/0 for a month. On Jan 9th 12/12 was started and I weaved the screen for the next 3 weeks to battle the stretch. All plants were displaying sex by the 16th.
These things can take quite a beating as ive Pinched and bent the hell out of the branches. Once the fan leaves die off, Ill post some pics of the skeleton.
this pic is mostly #4
Here we have a pic of the back wall and some of the middle. The other day I counted the budsites i could see along the perimeter and in the center, I stopped counting at 80 something. theyre done stretching for the most part and I keep the fan leaves tucked under the budsites. I think this pic is mostly # 1&2
nuggets. this is from the lanky sativa dominant #4. The buds growing on the perimiter are going to be nice fat colas.
Theyre just starting to show some trichomes. they should finish up after about 9-10 weeks of flower. Ill get some better pics once they get worth taking pics of.
I bought most of this stuff on amazon.com but anything that I could get for free or fabricate myself goes to the front of the line. My next update will include more info on how I built my cool tube and rigged my ducting and my intake and exhaust set up.
Hope you enjoy. If you have an questions, Fire away. Anyone is welcome to post. and unlike 90% of other threads, I'll try to keep all updates in the original post and subsequent space holders. Replies to individual questions and comments will be in the order recieved.
