2 x 150 HPS Micro Cabinet-Will5437

[Will5437]

Hello Everyone

Ive been working on making my cabinet ever since joining this forum.

Its a small grow cabinet with a lock that I made into a 2 150 watt HPS cab cooled by a S&P TD 150. Has a veg chamber also, the design is heavily influenced by NGB's cab. Here are the pictures.



heres some SLH i grew with my old cab

ill upload more tonight when the cab isint in night cycle.

Nice looking cab!
one suggestion tho, ditch that fan on the bottom of ya cab that's missing a fan blade, it'll rattle and vibrate like crazy and eventually fall apart.

Looking forward to more pics
Keep up the good work!

Thanks, the fan works fine, ive tested it before putting it in there. It also operates at a lower rpm.

yup, 100% light proof, was really stealthy with the TD 100,but with the TD 150, you can hear the air rushing. I might go with the TD 125 in the future.
What do you wana do with your cab? Id recommend getting a little bit more vertical space.

man... same as you but not sure about the heat even from small mh/hps.
your plant size is fine. but you need denser veg groth. temp in fruiting chamber?

right now I have 1 hps in there, and the temps stay at ambient, mind you, I have 218 CFM going throught a filter, so theres a lot of pull.

Veg chamber stays at ambient also, but I dont want the fan running for 18 hours.

Update,

Installed a KB Controller, as expected, it caused a humm. I think controlling a S&P is a little too difficult.

I also harvested 3 Nirvana Northern Lights Auto Flower, Pics to come.

Its around 80 outside, cab is around 100 degrees, it kinda sucks. I am also fighting a freaking defficiency in soil and its a nightmare. I also found out my PH meter is a lil off, and i learned the lesson a hard way.
