My Self Built Stealth Cabinet Grow (how to build a cab) My Pride And Joy

well I thought about insulating mine to but ya like ya said heat build up will be a huge problem... hmm... I've decided to create a hidden room in the small cubby you see in the pics, i'm spliting it in half depth wise and making a fake wall and exhausting through there theres' a few things you can do with the fans... You could always insulate your room if your just using the 250 watt hps and get a bigger inline fan ... (cage fan) what are your temps now ?
 
and btw thank you ...

ok guys i'm almost done framing in the doors and will take pics in a lil bit here... some might say i'm trying to hard to make it perfect... but I take pride in what I do so... it takes a lil bit longer and not to mention while i'm building iI keep thinking of different things to do lol..

exactly .... When you get it all setup you should start a thread and post thru out your grow... you said your gonna go with a cab right ? and where are you thinking about buying your lights from ... there's so many places on the net... which one to choose from lol I need to pic one very very soon ... (600 and a 250 tho)

Ok guys... first off thank you for following my thread... I got the doors all framed and put on this evening everything is framed in and covered now I need to go with the caulking gun and caulk all the cracks... Drill the exaust holes and put up my fake wall in the open cubby... this pic shows the nearly completed cab with all doors and hardware on... enjoy :)

yea it came in a plain brown box but i think the address label said Discount Hydro and the same with HTG but it wasnt that big of a deal UPS brought it and you can track it and know when to expect it.
 
Ok now there's only the obvious that I didn't think of ... the weight... boy I tell you what, the ol lady went out of town this evening and I laid it down to put the door frames/hinges/handles on and I went to stand it up by myself... haha wow It was impossible for me to lift it off the ground to stand it up by myself... hmm.... well I designed it to be able to have 6 4" wheels (and still fit through the doorway) on the bottom for rolling purposes but still... she's a heavy one...

well you did go with the particle plywood but if you could get some thin sheets of wood to cover it with, then staining it would look badass...if not i would just paint it a color that would match with your bedroom to please the old lady
