5Square foot, 250watt hps cab.

Was a nice sunny day outside today, my 250watt floodlight arrived afew days ago, so its time to get things prepared.

The cab i spent an hour or 2 making today, going to staple black white poly around the outsides and make a black white poly door, so the cab from the outside will be black.

the guts from my 250watt floodlight, the reflector in the back is a diy from the floodlight reflector as the reflector wasnt suitable as it was, still have to get some wire connects and extra wire to run to the reflector and it should be away.

Buying carbon filter start of next month 5" filter and 5" fan.

Hoping to have it up and running by the end of next week!

one solid side and a top or bottom will really help stiffen it up

pretty stiff as it is, its going to be screwed into the wall on one side.

shops are closed on sunday, cant get the things i need to wire the ballast up, im pretty eager to get this running

I know your already done but next time put the joists on the outside so you have more room. Probably not a problem with 1x4s but I did the same thing in the past when using larger lumber and it was bother some. Lookin good though anyways. Use velcro for the door/flap if you weren't going to already. Thats a pretty nice lookin ballast for comin from a flood light.
