I went to homebase and bought 2 packs of 3 'black rubber insulated padlocks' they are water proof too lol, not that I am too bothered about that, I forgot to take a pic before I put them on the hasps so here's the packaging lol, I only needed 4 so I have 2 spare and these packs were £12.99 each, so £25,98 so thats like £4.33 each so I may sell the 2 spare ones on E-bay to take the sting away from my wallet, anyhow :) - STELTHY :leaf:

With padlocks in place (colour coded) so appears more stealth at 1st glance :) not that too many people will see it anyway. The outside of this unit is complete minus the Odorsoc and some last wiring. - STELTHY :leaf:

Hi again dude :) I am liking the idea of a 45 degree angle SCROG, Do you know anyone whos done one like that? The best thing about building your own cab is you can put as much or as little effort and gadgets into it as you like and it makes it more personal and .. well.. better :) Glad your impressed :) I may sell them oneday I have well enjoyed the time I have spent modding this unit and the best bit, in a way! is I still have more to do :) I will be growing from seed.. I have a really cool idea for a veg unit..I may convert the underneath of my bed into a veg unit (in true 'STELTHY-STYLE' of course) :) Thats just an idea, but I have kept thinking about it :) - STELTHY :leaf:

On the way to picking up my wife and newest addition to the familly, I stopped by at the grow-shop and picked up some new lights to test, I picked up a new Phillips 400W MH for £30 and a 2nd hand 400W HPS (SON-T) for £10, I haven't tested them yet but will include my findings in my next posts. Its going to be a very busy week this week and my familly needs me so I will update when I get the chance - STELTHY :leaf:

Congrats. You sound busy. I got a Grow Journal started and I'm doing a trial Flowering using IR. I mentioned you as a beginning source on IR. Check it out when you get time.

Ok firstly I measured the inside of the cab and realised I needed 2 bits of welded mesh to cover the inside space, I figured the easiest way to join the together was..... - STELTHY :leaf:
