Thanks, 2 waterfarms. It's really meant for 1, but I'm running 2 in case 1 fails. Trial run to get my feet wet in hydro.
I spent a lot of time building my cab out so I've learned a ton along the way. Maxing its efficiency and capacity with complete stealth. Sealed air+light, smell+sound using an old sheet metal cab.
I'm not trying to hijack the thread but this is what it looks like operational.
Lmk if I can help.

Kinda like autopots, right? That's what I have...

Eh, similar as in both are hydro. Waterfarms use a drip ring that feeds surface oxygen and use an air pump. How many pots you use?

This isn't the cabinet I originally spoke up when I started the thread but here's a new cabinet I recently picked up. I'm about to spray some 6 mil reflective film and cover the interior. The other cabinet is in process as well so I'll post pics of it when i get a chance.
The measurements of this cabinet are 23.25" H x 34" W x 18.5" D
I may fabricate a drop floor inside the cabinet because there's another 3-4" of space to be reclaimed. I'm thinking I'll cut the bottom out 3-4" from the perimeter and drop in a plywood insert with roofing membrane that can serve as catchment for any watering runoff. Not sure about that idea yet, still mulling it over
I want to fill this cabinet with Bridgelux Gen-2 strips. All advice is welcomed.

I'll be honest, I've seen some nice grows in spaces that small, but they had a good idea of what they wanted out of it.
Is this meant for stealth (sound, light, smell) or it doesnt matter?
This size micro is smaller than what I can advise on. After building mine out, I quickly realized the space needed for growth and it's going to be real tough in that. Do you have a layout drawn out yet of what you want in there?

It's meant as a stealth box, I intend to keep sound, light, smell as hidden as possible. I only expect to grow 1-2 plants at a time in this thing and I'll be training the plants as needed.
As I said, the other box I have is a fair amount bigger. About 4 feet tall with a similar floor footprint. I'll post those pics soon. These will be my two growing cabs to hopefully allow staggered harvests. I look forward to the challenges of staying small!

Here is an idea for you...Use the small cab you just picked up to veg in and/or keep mothers and use your larger cab to flower. Doing this should help out with the height restriction of your smaller cab.
