Im looking to build a cab for the first time and i have no idea what i need or how to begin. The only think i know i want is to keep the smell from comming out and keeping my electric as close to where i am now to raise any red flag.
Can you please help me out
JohnnySixString said:Wow, I know the answer to this one; start reading!!! Then, read some more!
Seriously, start at the beginning of this thread and read it all. It's long, but very worth it.
sumo said:dmitexxi it is a paradox. To build a good box you have to be on top of your game and sharp. This thread was written by a bunch of stoners. Neccesity is the mother of invention. Go without weed long enough and you will be able to get on top of your game be sharp and build a great box. Or maybe us stoners are on top of our game ,sharp ,and smoking fine herb. No pain no gain. Read and learn and pass it on.
good luck

dmitexxi said:Hey Pine, Stealth & Ray,
I just got back from my local Home Depot and i saw 3 Cabinets and here are their dimentions:
Cabinet1: (6 Way Adjustable door Hinges)
71h x 29W x 20.5D
Cabinet2:
71h x 24W x 15D
Cabinet3:
71h x 36W x 18W
my room is 82" tall will i have enough room uptop for my chiminey and exhaust?
as Im reading which one of these would work with a 400HPS as that seems to be the way to go but what is a cool tube and do i need it?
I also believe i will need the an inline fan but im not sure what size.
And how many vents will need and where should they placed so i get clean air pumped from the bottom to the top of the cab?
ray what kind of lighting are you using in the 60-80 dollar range?
StealthFarmer said:How was the yield difference with the 600w compared to the 400w? Also how was the temp difference?
Siddartha said:icough, what are the temps like in your area when you grew with the 600w? I mean ambient, b/c I may have to do something just seasonally.

Its not to wide so the 400's light profile will work great its about the same dimentions as mine. see link in my sig.
you can exhaust out the back as well if the top is not an option. I've done both ways.
search "cooltube" and you will see what they are and they are very useful for a cab set up. it wll also probably answer your exhaust fan question.
there are multiple thoughts on vetiliation. I drilled 4 2" holes in the back of my cab and a 4" one that I used for a closed circut cooltube that i no longer have set up so now its another passive intake.
I have a 400watt digi ballest and the $60-$80 is a per month cost for the whole cab. durring the summer it went up as my energy use was higher ans so i umped to a higher tier of cost and it was more like $100-$120 but i fugured in the window AC I hooked up. If you click the link in my sig you will see my bio bucket grow that I used to do. I am now cookoo for coco.
Other than that really you should search for more cabinet grows and see what all the cats are doing and take what you like and works for you. I spent over a year reasearching how I was going to build my cab but i was not in a hurry as i did not have a place to put it at that time.
