*Germinator's Veg Cab concept Please Input!!!

[TheGerminator]

Hey guys how ya been? been reading up alot on here on the DIY yourself and after sitting back for a couple hours of some really hard planning i got my basic concept for my Veg box , Im open to all idea's and looking for some suggestions on improvment before building it.

First off its going to be 3.5x2.5x3.5 thats my my max size seeing i need room on the sides for my intake seeing im making this to fix in a tight closet i just drew up this quick concept after some nice bong rips of some nice organics so forgive the sloppyness

Basically box specs are

Intake:

2 10" Honeywell fans on each side of the cab for intake for plenty of ventilation.

Exhaust:

Stanley blower pulling air in from cab and then through the hood and T into my existing ductiong which goes into my attic

Lighting:

6 - 23 Watt Daylight CFLS for 4 soil mothers
1 - 175 MH for a 6 plant rubbermaid DWC system (3 in. netpots)

Other:

Tempature HiLo / Inside/Outside meter mounted outside of cab to monitor everything

Mylar the cab

and finally an addition 6" ossiclating fan moving the mass ammounts of air that is already going to be flowing through there.

thats basically it sorry if it was a bit confusing i want all inputs and suggestions, thank you very much guys grow on.

hey brother
I would cut some holes out at the bottom of the cab or at the lower bottom.. the intake and out take hole should be across from each other.. so it pulls cool air across the cab.. if you put the holes up higher then yer just bringing warm air back in. heat rises.. just a suggestion.. good luck peace..

Welcome Germinator


if i were you i'd put the intake holes on the bottom and the fan that would suck out the air (negative pressure) on top (warm air rises you know)
but then again, if i really wanted a small growbox i'd go for an ngb.

Gantz thats fuckign awesome germinator pic mind if i make that my avatar??
but to the point ill do that i hear what your saying im thinking maybe i shouldnt evan put 2 honeywells as intakes since ill have the stanley blower pullin air out from the cab from the 6 inch hood, so thank you ive already perked some things up , also im new to keeping mother seeing these ar emy first 4 that im keeping how many watts of cfl do you think i should give them seeing as i think 9 27 watters would be 243 watts and i will only need cutting every 2 months im thinking maybe i should put the mothers under 1 - 150 CFL?

**edit

Gantz i didnt evan maximize the picture before i didnt notice the pot in his hand with the seedling, thats great did you make that your self?? awesome editing i love the pic.

use it man. no problem. not mine. with i had the skills to do it though...
keeping mothers will save you some veg time and you'll know for sure that all the plants are girls.
we're all learning man. the people here are nice and will help you if you need more info. just ask.
the blower will help keep the heat down but i think that bottom holes are better because they bring fresh cool air in to the plants and refresh things
150 cfl for the mothers sounds right to me. if they are smaller you could go even lower. as long as they receive enough light and don't stretch, they should be fine.

here's my fishtank propagator
its basicly fishwater witha bubbler , and planting trays floating on one or two inches of the water
and a 15w 'energy saver' light
i just use grass cuttings....
and when the roots get too long they just grow down into the water
ready for hydro or soil.....
usualy i do the 'ole papertowel thingy , but i have dropped seeds straight in there and they popped fine...
Oh, if u spot one or two yellow plants.....i had too many blbs in there and fried the babies.........hope they recover
the tall one's is about a week old.....

havent tried cuttings in there yet.....but gonna be doing that soon and i,ll lett you know how it goes....

some aquaponic experiment i,m starting
