It doesnt seem like Ticks passive vent would be totally light tight. Its white, and there arent any 90 degree bends in it. How well does a vent cover like that trap light? Im really curious cause that to me would be easier than fiddle fartin around with a bunch of PVC elbows. Thanks.

Damn, this brought back some memories! Wonderful thread.. This is pretty much all the info I needed to start growing way back when.. I remember the day Tick was posting the box and all..
pontiac, thanks for the efforts bro!
btw, do you remember the one for building your own ozone gen?

this is just sick wit it, I cant wait till i move futher out of the city. Looking for acres so i can go big all for my selfishness. Need my meds. lol
I suggest making the door into two doors like a kitchen cabinet, rather than one giant door, as it torques on the whole cabinet . It also sags under its own weight so its hard on the hasps used to keep it closed. Even with six hinges.
Measure twice, cut once. I'm carpentry-challenged and was able to get one of these grow cabinets together.
It is bigger than it looks in the pics, too.
If you really got clever, you could make the base out of something like 2x10 or 2x12 and put a reservoir there. Then you could put a tray in the bottom of the cabinet for happy ebb&flow.
Remember, though, that when all is said and done, its still only 4' tall inside. A 5gal bucket is 15" tall. Even an air-cooled lamp needs to be some inches away from the top of the plants. I guess I'm just not yet used to growing in confined spaces...

great tutorial, this one was an excellent save! Thanks pontiac!
i have a few questions on this... tick says the materials are 5/8" plywood and 1/2" plywood... my question is, which size is used with which parts of the box? after reading it/looking it all over again, my best assumption is that he used 3/8" plywood for the base, all sides and the top... and he used the 1/2" plywood for the smaller sections like the bottom lip, top front, and peices to mount the lights... is this assumption correct?
also, i think that i like the use of bathroom style fans, it looks like they will be much easier to mount than others, not to mention cheaper... but how efficent will this be? thanks for any input
