Stelthy's 600W Hps Project! (New-Cab)

[stelthy]

The small grow shelf is ok, But I will make a new one for good karma - STELTHY

 

[stelthy]

I can't wait to get this little cab looking the tit's... I hope to have it looking sweet in 3 weeks tops but we'll see wish me luck! - STELTHY

 

[stelthy]

Ok I am going to get busy stripping the rest of the cab down, this morning...Then this afternoon I'll sand her down so she's ready for repair etc



NOTE:


The dimensions of this cab are:


Depth 11.5" X Width 18.5" X Height 45"


This will give you an idea of the space I have on this cab lol - STELTHY

Hey man i like it, its always good to have a project on the go. That little cab looks just the ticket

 

[stelthy]

I had some Mylar laying about and thought I'd have enough to use up on this Cab.... I flipped the Cab up side down and began to cover the top side prior to this I sanded down all the inside/s of the Cab and filled any un needed holes with multi purpose sealant/filler.. - STELTHY

 

[stelthy]

I got busy with the other sides straight after, and cut out the holes for the fans etc.. - STELTHY

 

[stelthy]

I found an old bathroom fan that I must have planned to use many moons ago.... Anyhow this will be perfect as an outtake fan - STELTHY

 

[stelthy]

I screwed it in place from the inside, and filled the gap around the neck of the fans duct join with more sealant - STELTHY

 

[stelthy]

I had 2X 90W LED UFO's one that worked perfectly and the other that didn't (outer ring un-lit) neither unit had a plug so I had to fuck about testing them 1st to find out which was the good one.....It wasn't this one lol! - STELTHY

 

[stelthy]

This one, was the one that worked (660nm) .. and a good thing to because it still had the DIY Cloth Muffler I made ages ago to keep the UFO's running more quietly and ..STEALTH - STELTHY

 

[stelthy]

You will notice the unit still needs more Mylar.. ,,.I ran out lol, I'll pick some more up soon I'll only need a meter's worth or so, Time to tidy these cables a bit I think - STELTHY

 

[stelthy]

The cables are tidy and hidden.. next job is to finish covering with Mylar and install the Intake Fan at the bottom I am off for a well deserved spliff and a bite to eat...More tomoz - STELTHY

Hi BudBaby, Yeah I do quite like making these as a hobby Its going well so far, I have a few ideas in my head that will really turn the performance around on this unit - STELTHY

Cheer's dude Its only a little unit so it will be finished pretty quickly..I give myself 3 weeks tops.. But it should make for an interesting read before I document my 'Hash Making' - STELTHY

damn stealthy, you're making me feel like a slacker! that cab is pretty sweet, how large a light do you think it could handle?

Hi dude, lol, what can I say...I enjoy my work As far as lighting goes I reckon either 1X 250W ENVIROLITE CFL, or a larger LED panal (5W CREE X 300W), or 100W MERCURY, or between 70W and 150W HPS (with fans on full/loud + additional fans), or 100W MH (with fans on full/loud + additional fans)....

It was defo good for a 150W ENVIROLITE CFL.. and that only had basic CPU fans in it..

I am doing it with the 90W LED UFO simply cos I need to get rid of 'a lot' of grow related stuff to tidy the house n please the Mrs... and having used the LED UFO/s before I know that one small 20 to 26" plant LST'd/SCROG'd will be very happy in there more to come later today - STELTHY

You should check out some stuff about uvb and Co2 for your current stealth cab. I've been doing a little research myself on uvb.

Its funny you should mention UV-B I was just looking at an inspiring thread and was going to randomly add a LINK to it here, so I could look back on it in later weeks.. Here's the LINK:

I dunno how much help I'll get but its sure worth studying up on such an important factor , What did you come up with? - STELTHY

Hahahaa I saw you posted in there. I've been researching it for maybe a month now and just stumbled upon that thread. Out of everything I have reasearched that thread was by far the best information I have read. And that dudes setup... OMG! I wish I could smoke his weed!
