Critique my new cab!

Hi all,

Well after a long hiatus I'm back at it again. I had an old cab that worked for me and I had to dismantle it due to personal reasons. So now that i'm back I want to make a slightly smaller design.

I've borrowed a lot of ideas from this site as you can see.

Here are the details.

Cab Height - 37"
Cab Length - 44"
Cab Depth - 26"

Lighting for Veg:
4 x 26Watt CFLs in Veg room = 96 watts total

Lighting for Flower
4 x T5 26 Watt Sunbeam fixture
2 x 26 Watt CFLS = 148 Watts Total

Total Watts in cab = 244 Watts.

The top compartment will house a S&P TD-150 fan pulling from the cab to a Can filter out the exhaust.

The veg room is smaller and will house 1 mom and a couple of clones. I think i could get away with having 2 or 3 plants in flower - depending how I take care of them.

The middle area will be a light separator and drying zone.

Here are a few sketchups. I've placed arrows to show air flow. (my sketchup art kind of sucks)

So please critique and let me know if anybody has suggestions.

Looking Good Mylo...!

Not really a critique but a few ideas that popped into my head...

On Wheels...

Access to both sides...

What about a 2'/6bulb/T5 Fixture in the bloom room, about the same watts but 12k lumens...

Just a few random thoughts...:tiphat:

That's a very neat little design. I reckon you should go for it, the lights can be tweaked/changed as required later. Use whatever you have to to hand.
Can't wait to see it

Thx ZZTops!!!

Yeah Wheels might make it better but i'm trying to keep this thing as low to the floor as possible so it doesn't look too inconspicuous!

Thats a great idea about the bloom room. I'll have to wait for some more $$ before buying some more lights!

Appreciate it! :tiphat:
