that's what i was gonna say...

unless you are doing something underneath, there is absolutely no reason to worry about pen holes...

Virtually light tight. I barely noticed the light leaks. :)
Awesome build, mad skills!
 
Its all good until you're trying to flower your girls.

Its funny, I thought it would leak out of the for cracks... Shows what I know.

the pinhole leaks i was talking about was the small holes on the outside of the door.. not the ominous glow from underneath the cabinet

i realize that... i was being sarcastic...

if my cab was gonna glow like that i wouldn't worry about the little shit... why bother? :dunno:

i can tell you how to build light traps for those intake holes... if you would like...

no problems...

just having a laugh, but willing to help... build you some light traps for you intake vents and eliminate the ominous glow from underneath the cabinet.

rather than try explain, micro1337 posted a pic recently that might make more sense...

the idea is to force the air through bends that light cannot penetrate...

Appreciated.. Stealth is not of the utmost importance, I just want it not to look like a growbox : )


I expect seeds any day now... almost time for the grow show. :dance013:

if you are having heat problems,go to a 400 watt instead.if i figure correct,you have 8 s.f.the 600 is 75 watts per sf,and a 400 is 50 w.per sf.50 is usually sufficent for great growth and has alot less heat

That's a killer cab right there champ.

I'm running the Orca film myself in a micro cab & a mini fridge with overdriven floros & also the black bedliner paint for installation under that orca & even with my light it makes a huge difference, but 600watter... Well Davit !!!
This is gonna be real interesting pretty soon here.. Imma kick it on back on the Lazy & vape this La Con X Purple Dragon (LaPurCon) & watch this show...
Might not be a carpenter but 2 heads are better than 1 & cabz on full tilt.. Make me wanna pull out the Digi 400w Lumatek hps/mh I scored for $15 and build another 2 bedroom for my lady'z.
The harvest will make us micro Katz step are game up if you have a Greenthumb. Some real magic has the potential to come out of that kab if room temps permit...

One of the other growstarz said they suggest a 400, I second on that but lets see yah skillz once you pop some lady'z in that thang...

Keep yah Thumbz in the Greenz,

Trich.
