What pre-made cabs are people using now instead of Mill's Pride?

I'm not getting current information on my search attempts.

I'm looking to build a new cab, somewhere between C13 and C24...what are people using that are available in 2012, and where are we getting them from? I was going to do a small dresser, but I think I want to go a little bigger.

Bump.

And I was in Lowes today and checked-out the Black and Decker answer to Mills Pride cabs... I think they're call "The Garage Solution." They're black, and have sizes comparable to a slightly larger C13 and a C24. Pricey, but prefabbed growing, with a lock included. You still need to replace the rear cardboard backing. $179 for 31 x 20 x 76, and $199 for 47 x 20 x 76. After seeing the space in these, it's tough to consider going back to the drawing board on and kind of a dresser.

Has anyone used the Black and Decker cabs?

interesting, i just checked those out, can ya cut holes in the metal with a dremel? how hard is it gonna be to vent it, it looked metal to me not cardboard backing. i do like the idea of a lock. just get 1 try a grow and put results in a thread.

The ones I saw were like black melamine, not metal. I think the metal would be loud due to vibrations. These cabs were in Lowes in the same aisle as big tubs, lol. Not a coincidence, I don't think.

Update:

I found almost the exact match to the MP C24 at lowes...white melamine, 48" x 20" x 70" for $108. The extra width is just what I need so I can install two chicken wire vertical tubes with @ 50 feet of scrog screens. They're not extremely sturdy though, especially seeing I'm going to gut most of the shelving which acts as support, but if it lasts for a year it won't owe me anything.

Not of the new setup; I'm still in design. I'll have everything up and running within 2 weeks, as I'll have my Mosca C99 beans in by then! I truly hope there's a keeper in every pack!

Here's a pick from my last run (still in vege). You can barely make out the tubes, but three plants filled like 75% of screens after the stretch (and when I turned the upper two 150's on). I never weighed, but I had dozens of big mason jars filled, which kept me vaporizing C99 for 9 or 10 months.

I'll be doing a writeup, but not sure if it'll be in Mosca's seed thread or in the vertical grow forum...I'm leaning on the vertical forum as this design is gonna yield big! If I can fill out most of the 50 square feet of scrog screen, and yield only 0.25 ounce per sq ft of screen (very conservative estimate here), I should be in the neighborhood of 13 zips at least...but I want to push the design to the limits!



Now imagine two four foot high tubes looking similar to this Czech's grow using a single 150 (they reported yields of 143-145 from these grows):



This design works awesomely...no BS. The main difference in cabs this time is that I'm going to have the scrubber mounted inside the top, matched to an S&P TD-150S. It'll eat up @ the top 18 inches of flower space, but will be more stealthy than having this big external ventilation stack to hide. I'll update here when the other thread starts.

Try searching "prenda" on the link in post #7 in this thread. You may have better luck with a page translator, unless you happen to speak Czech, lol.
