my new cool grow cabinet

[jamesz01]

hey guys this is my new grow cabinet that im building i just need some help with airing and exausting im not to sure on it this is what i was thinkin plz tell me if this is right check pics

 

[MrStickyScissors]

what kind of light is that

 

[jamesz01]

lol if you talking about the thing at the bottom thats my fan

 

[MrStickyScissors]

ohhh ok lol I thought that was a light and iv never seen a florescent like that and im assuming that what you use

 

[jamesz01]

no i will be using a 250w mh/hps in there

 

[MrStickyScissors]

you are going to exhaust it?

 

[jamesz01]

my question is, is my ventilation correct

 

[damag3]

Yes your ventilation is fine(Assuming those blue lines on your pictures are ducting) but make sure you exhaust the air out of the room your cabinet is in, where are you planning on bringing in your air from ?

 

[MrStickyScissors]

what is that a screen inside the cabinet? either im just hella high or that picture just doesnt make sense

 

[damag3]

Im sure that screen is just so the doors dont go all the way inside the cabinet when they are closed lol

 

[MrStickyScissors]

oh ok its has two doors lol. so the whole point of having the cabinet grow is so no one sees it? is that why you wouldnt just leave the doors open instead of finding a way to bring the air in?

 

[MrStickyScissors]

Im sure that screen is just so the doors dont go all the way inside the cabinet when they are closed lol

lol thats funny shit

 

[jamesz01]

right near the cabinet there is a hole door/window i will be bringing it in from this will that be ok

 

[jamesz01]

oh ok its has two doors lol. so the whole point of having the cabinet grow is so no one sees it? is that why you wouldnt just leave the doors open instead of finding a way to bring the air in?

and yes i do not want people seeing inside

 

[jamesz01]

i think that is a bad idea. you dont want to move this thing everytime you want to get into it, all your plants will get jostled and maybe fall over, or the whole damn armoire will fall!

just seal the doors up in the front, there are enough threads on here or on google that show how to seal up the doors. very nice cab, but I also would not force intake, because when smell control becomes an issue your intake will force the stink out of your cab through every nook and cranny except for the exhaust fan where you would put your carbon filter. all in all good design, and the cubby in the bottom is great to prevent intake light leaks.

but dont you have to have intake in any grow room ??

 

[gumball]

yes you do, but you dont want to force ar with a fan. your exhaust fan will pull the air in through the intake. make sense?

oh, when i said seal the doors before i meant to seal up light leaks they have so you can still use them.

 

[jamesz01]

umm i dont get what you mean so if i didnt have the inline fan i will still get air coming in though the exaust fan??

yer and i no what you ment by seal it up for the light leaks

 

[jamesz01]

oh hang on i get yay lol so it will just suck the air up from the hole yer yer i get it now
