My stealth cabinet

[dansbuds]

also got another little surprize in the shape of a mother/veg cabinet in my room ..... getting a little cramped in here but its all worth it !!!

have it side by side with my grow cab so everything is close by .

i've got 3 1' t5 flouresents in there , not really worried abot smell to much yet ( but will as the need arises ) going to mount a small 4" ehaust fan in back as soon as it gets here .

i have my orange kusk mom in there as well as some SD clones in the cloner & kush clones 6 of each . SD on the left ( small sickly looking clones cuz they were taken from a mom that was nearly killed by root aphids & eventually put down but trying to save the gene line ....we'll see ) & 6 OK clones i just took today .

OK mom after i took the clones ....

temps are looking good ....

& few more random pics of it all ...

well ..... thats it for now . next step is testing the temps in the cabinet & in the buckets & going from there . hopefully everything is in the right specs to get my grow going soon .

any comments are appreciated & ask any questions you might have & i'll do my best to answer them .
thanx guys .... will get pics up as i start my grow .

also ran a seperate electrical circut up from the main panel to my cabinet just so it didn't effect anything else in the house on that bedroom circut .

have to ask!!how in the hell did u light proof?I have a cab similar but leeks light from the door like hell.

some 3/4 weather stripping & a piece of 2" x1/4 " flat moulding screwed to the back of the left door so that they overlap when they close ...then some silicone in the corners .
pretty easy really

i'll get pics for you tomorrow .

very nice bro. I like those temps, and awesome idea with the light proofing Very smart running the separate circuit up there too. Only comment I have is that I've heard having the carbon filter in the cab (especially next to the light) can negatively effect the odor neutralizing properties of the can. I've got no experience with it yet tho lol. Just something I read on here, (love this site).

Looking great dansbuds, can't wait to see the show.

How did the test with the 400w go?

How did the test with the 400w go?

haven't done it yet .. still useing it on my SD plants after cutting them to see if i can get them to reveg . lost my SD moms to root aphids (took a few clones from them before tossing them ) so i'm trying to save the line by revegging the harvested ones or by clones from the damaged moms . i have some seeds if needed but would rather use clones .

so i'll wind up using the 250 in my cabinet for the orange kush grow then trying the 430 after thats done . stiil thinks the temps are going to be unmanagable with the 430 though ....... dunno time will tell .

 

[dansbuds]

got my circulation fans mounted & put the jack chain on my light so i can raise & lower it as needed . but still waiting on the ballast kit i ordered for my ingnitor so i can test the heat build up & get her running .

hopefully by the time my clones take root i should be ready to go . can't wait !!!

 

[dansbuds]

next step i guess while waiting is to build my scrog net . i have the pipe & string ... just need some 1/2 " pvc elbos . looks like another stop at the local home depot .

 

[kava]

Hhhmmm I was doing some reading about off gassing and it killing some plants and I thought that you might want to check this out. Its about the PVC that you are getting at home depot its entry number 49 here (http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=188434 ) I just thought that you might want to know ok

stay safe and be carefull

 

[dansbuds]

Wow thanx Kava you may have stopped a catastrophy !!! i know i can build a wood frame net but the pvc was gonna be much easier ....oh well .
thanx again dude . much appreciated !!!

 

[kava]

Yeah it kinda floored me because as a tradesman I have access to pvc and fittings and was going to some stuff with it but not any more lol. I think that the key if you use it is to make sure you are constantly changing the air but a lot easier to not use it and not worry at all.
Take care and be carefull

Sorry, I must be missing something. That thread kava linked is talking about off gassing into water lines when using a certain garden supplier's flexible 1/2 inch pipe. What does that have to do with PVC use in SCROGs, which I see all over the place without off gassing trouble?

 

[bucks8n]

NICE cabs! Lovin the stealthiness - shall be showing this to a friend who wants to buy a tent as it's way better for sound / insulation / stealth / cost / adaptability...

007 read the post # 49 & you'll see that it effects the pvc we use everyday in our grows .

I also notice your pvc pipe which also may be off gassing and killing all your shit like mine was. I couldn't believe I spent hours making a net like that for no reason. Lost a whole 1k grow...everything went nuts yellowing and eventually some full blown hermi. I was extremely fortunate to have read an off-gassing thread about plastics in tents and immediately realized the only thing that had changed in my grow which had been going perfect and was going perfect in my other tent was the addition of pvc pipe in my tent.

Took it out and problem fixed. I am not aware of whether or not all pvc can cause this problem but 100% without any doubt some pvc does. Also I have found plastics surrounding wiring that I used to use to hang dry plant also causes off gassing....careful with wtf you use!

Folks you must be very wary of any plastic item you add to your grow room! THINK THINK THINK! Even it is not wholly plastic some parts may be and will cause off-gassing. I have moved to safety of refusing all new plastics or addition of unnecessary equipment that contains plastics.

which explains why my aerocloner i built killed every clone i put in it & my bubble cloner is workin great .

Really looks great. Putting in some hardwork and it's paying off. In a pic earlier it shows you keeping your nutes above the light. As a rule you don't want to store your nutes by high heat or light. Cool dark place yeah?

Looking good, I'll be checkin in

Ahhh.... thanks for spoonfeeding it to me. For some reason I had looked at post #59, not 49.

thanx george ..... hadn't thought about the heat inside effecting the nutes ....... thanx for the heads up dude .
