Sacked box design, any tips?

[quaggacronz]

Hi, guys! Here's my new design! But first let me apologize in advance for any abomination that I might say because english is not my native Language

So, here's the pics, on top there's a flowering box (the black things are supposed to be vases), in the middle we can see Mama's home (again, the thing on the floor would be a vase..) or eventually a vegetative box and last, on the bottom i plan on doing a drying room.

Measures are roughly 20 by 20in 8ft tall (50x50x250cm)

I was wondering if extraction will be enough, I'll be using a 4in helicoidal fan like the one below with passive intake, green thing poorly designed a the end of the extractor would be a carbon filter. This particular design is caused primarily by a serious lack of space and a pre-existent cabinet which I'll customize.

So.. thank for reading and happy growing

Clearly the title was supposed to be sTacked, I'm sorry

...do a search for 'Anti' and check out his designs, i think you'll be inspired.

peace, bozo

I'd put the carbon filter inside the flowering section of the cab and pull the air through it instead of pushing all the air through it

The other thing you may want to think about is having your clone and veg cab on top and your flower below.. Due to the fact that heat rises and you want your flower cab to be as cool as possible..

Gee I thought about that but my idea was to put the big fan closer to the flower cab exactly to avoid overheating, you think it might be wrong?

From the looks of it, it seems like it wouldn't be hard to change a few things around if it doesn't create a healthy environment.. Try your preferred design first and adapt if you need to...

Thanks man! But since you're probably right I think I'll end up moving both the veg and the fan on the bottom just in case

Looks like a great cabinet design with excellent suggestions.....if it were me, expand the width dimensions to at least 24"+ ....but maybe that's all the room you have.

Good luck!

Thanks man It means a lot! You've guessed right, the dimension are fixed, what you see is the section of a much bigger closet but here comes trouble, I need the rest of the closet for actual clothes ), it's not mine (I rent the place) so I can only make non destructive customizations, the red parts you see are melamine sections of the closet that I can disassemble and temporarily replace with particle board sections that I can hole for ventilation, and once I'm gone I just reassemble the old panels and nothing ever happened... shh...

Nice design but I would change the colour from red to pink.. But that's just me lol.


4" fan will b more than enough extraction if ur only using lil CFL bulbs.


Your handy at making designs great work!

Sadly it won't be painted.. the red it's just to mark which melamine panel from the original closet I'm going to replace with particle board since the closet it's not mine and I can't make permanent changes.

I would've loved to use a 150w cooltube but there's no way it's going to fit.

Thanks! I love designing furniture, I'm starting to woodwork because of this...thing... when I built my first box I begin looking for some woodwork techniques...and since then It grew on me... *WINK*
If you guys like those designs I'll post them whenever I make new ones, is there a dedicated section in this forum for cabinet designs?

I was thinkin about it further.. it might not be a bad idea to dry run your box for a day or 2 before you plant your plants if possible.. it will give you a decent idea of temps, and put a bowl of water or wet sponge to represent a plant for humidity sake
