Thus far, things are moving relatively slowly. Perhaps this is due to the 4 week veg from seed, but a few plants still haven't shown sex. Two of my AK47s are female and one is seems to be doing REALLY well, but the develpment isn't very pronounced at this stage (15 days in.) If I can scrape up the cash for a tripod, I'll be able to get some better pics. I'm not using the greatest digicam in the world at the moment. But I'll need to figure something out before July because I expect to be harvesting somewhere around the 10th of July or shortly thereafter and I'll need a way to judge my trics.I hope things are going well for you Anti. How are the buds fattening up?
It's a wonderful feeling that I didn't honestly expect to feel to see you using this thing. Your cab looks great!
I've been thinking ahead about the same thing. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to use my closet (although I'll want to move my clothes out of there temporarily). I've ran across a thread you may find useful:Trying to figure out if I can find a place to isolate him until he bursts so I can start up a sperm bank.
Keep in mind this is from a woman who knows nothing about it. If I were to walk into the room and see this, I'd immediately wonder the same thing. Why is this so huge when it's only holding 4 inch CD's? Now it triggers my curiosity. If I were to go to the rear, I'd see it's plugged in...Why would that be?And she stood in a room with it and admired it and she did ask why it was so big.
More pics in the days to come. Stay tuned, true believers. And pay close attention or I'll sic my Agent on you!

Anti...I see you like to read and even computer design using CAD...nice write-up. There are a few things I'd like to post before too many begin to copy you exactly. Maybe these can be addressed.
The most obvious that struck me was the computer power supply. Are you sure it's only using a few watts?
Hopefully that clears up the misconception that a 300w PSU is pulling 300w every hour no matter what its actual energy needs are.From External Link:
A very common misconception indeed is the idea that computer Power Supply Units (PSU's) always use their MAX rated wattage. Such an idea is absurd. If it were true, you would simply be "burning" watts into thin air. Computers and their components draw in only the amount of power they need at one moment in time. If this power need were to go up, then the PSU would simply take in more AC power, convert it, and give your components the power they need!
Negligible. It's super quiet, and it's in the center of the cab. I notice the three other fans before I'd ever notice the PSU fan.What about it's fan noise?
Earlier in this thread, you'll see that I went into the explanation of why it's so big. There's a large piece of multimedia equipment that sits on top of my cab. The size makes perfect sense if it's to be used as a stand for that equipment. (I used to use a 4 person kitchen table as the stand which was even bigger.) It may require more explanation for someone who was not in my circumstances. I have elected not to share all the particular details of it because I'm trying to maintain at least a LITTLE discretion. You can see a little of that equipment in some of my pics, but I've tried to crop as many personal identifiers out of the pics as possible.Keep in mind this is from a woman who knows nothing about it. If I were to walk into the room and see this, I'd immediately wonder the same thing. Why is this so huge when it's only holding 4 inch CD's? Now it triggers my curiosity.

The interior dimensions of my cab are based on the work of Dr. Bud Greengenes. His little bitty cab was designed for perpetual SOG and my cab is based largely on his work and that of his apprentice, Thundurkel. The height of the cab was designed this way on purpose.What happened is you've elected to go horizontal rather than vertical which also limits your growing height. I know in your case it's too late...but maybe someone else considering your box will find this of use.
Perhaps a vertical setup that looks like a bookshelf would serve better. You could put fake or even real books in it and the depth would look closer to real. It would be taller for more growth and could even have a door on the bottom (like entertainment centers) adding realism. At 6 feet in height, there's a lot you can do with a bookshelf setup.
Which is why this is being posted in meticulous detail, so people can point out the faults before they ruin a harvest. Thanks for the kind words.However, until someone makes the complete all-in-one (veg, grow, dry) bookshelf cab, I like your setup the best. As the old adage says, there's always room for improvement.
No more than $500, if you include the nutes, all supplies for building, lights, soil, carbon filter, etc.PS - What was the final tab on this? About $500?
For that scrubber design is there a reason you use 2 containers besides the air flow layout of your cab? I'm looking at something similar but I was thinking just use a single container (the inner one) and set it into an square opening in the ceiling of my cab. In my case the utility room is all above the flower chamber so this would sit in an opening right above the light reflector, pulling air over the lights into the scrubber and up into the utility area out the back. My concern is charcoal dust falling thru the screen into the flower area and I'm wondering if that is part of the reason for the dual box design.
Very nice cab my friend!
I was wondering if you was gonna cover the vents the seemed to leak light from one room to the other but seems you had that in hand What is the fabric you used there called btw?
I have a few uses for that atm Is it strong too?
For my purposes? Definitely. I wouldn't necessarily want to use it to rappel down the grand canyon or anything.
