Links to perpetual cab grows?

[Mary's Confidant]

I remember an OG'er or an ICMAG'er who had a little perpetual cab setup for a personal grow. Would anyone be willing to post their favorite links to CAB grows/perpetual cab grows? I've done searches and found a few but I was hoping to consolidate a list. I'd like to embark on this since the 5x5 tent I purchased is a bit too big.

I need to see best practices, ie - expected air movement and light intensity, schedule for cutting/vegging before I begin designing/building. I know much of this will need to be fine tuned once it starts but I want to make sure I have adequate space requirements.

Craigslist has tons of armoires/cabinets for sale that would probably meet the needs of most growers.

look for whitebb2727's journals, he's been a cab grower forever, and does well at it

Thanks Roger, I tried to look at @whitebb2727 grow journal but they don't allow everyone to view their profile. White, can I get added to the friendly list?

I run a 2x2 in addition to the 2x4 that I started with. Makes it easier. I usually grow an auto or two in the 2x2 while starting my photoperiod strains in it as well.

The one in the thread is an oak 2x4x6 oak wardrobe that I gutted. I started with a 432 watt 8 bulb t5. I now run 200 watts of cob in it now.

I run a 4 inch inline fan and 8 inch filter.

Here is what I'm working with for now.


A short 2x1.5, about 130 watts 5000k/3000k led.
15, two liter homemade pots stuffed in a sterlite container.
2 strains, fighting broad mites, spider mites, and thrips all together. Finally winning the battle though. Didn't know I had broad mites until much too late so some of the ECSDs suffered on the left. The trainwrecks on the right were flowered too early but will still yield well. They will get a longer veg to even up with the stretchy ECSDs. Hoping to rotate 3 or 4 in and out every 2-3 weeks.

Captain Jack's spinosad. It great for just about any pest.

Yes it does work, along with a piping hot neem mist bath.

The broad mites just laughed at the spinosad.

Spinosad should. I usually apply several spray treatments about 5 days apart and I add it to my water for a couple waterings for systemic action.

I don’t know what your venting is like but if it’s a sealed tent or room venting outside use the no pest strips. The chemical works great just not something to breath in. Best part is it’s half life is fairly short. They use it all through out the food industry to transport wheat fruits veggies ext. from what I read about it I would use it right to the end if needed just give your pot more then a month to cure and there won’t be any chemicals left. Good luck. I’m currently using in my 4x8 tent haven’t seen a more since throwing it in there. I also take precautions when handling strips gloves and pesticides respiration mask.
