Building a stealth Super Cabinet (at least im trying)

Plasma cutter was 650. I tried a bi-metal blade on a new jigsaw and it sucked. I then tried a carbide blade and it worked so-so for straight lines but was noisey, messy and took forever. Curring 4-6-8" holes was nerly impossible with a jig saw with metal of this thickness. If you get cheaper cabient maybe. I may have been able to pull it off as the top of the line jigsaw and blade i got was only like 130 so would have saves me 500 bucs. But I wanted somethin that wasnt hacked to hell, i think the plasma cutter makes it look professional.

The plasma cutter also enabled me to sear(for bend points) the metal to make by vent cover, shelves etc.. Everything isn by box is made from metal from the extra shelves.

Either way..i dont build shit so i would want to sell the jigsaw and plasma cutter after the project. Plasma cutters are in higher demand and it is hardly used. I feel I can get at least 500 for it when i sell it. I returned the jigsaw to home depot and ate the cost of the blades. So my bottom line would be 150 and with the time i saved and quality of cuts it was well with it.

Also you can rent these at some welding shops I hear. None in my area had them however.

What really bothers me about the mass produced cabs is the way the target newbs. They dont gear any self contained cabs towards anyone novice or above. You can tell they target newbs because they claim stealth and "have a veg area" but they are veg/clone usually useless do to their design. An what about mothers?

In their larger ones i see they have 2 large flower areas instead of an area for veg and mother. If I wanted a ton of plants i probably wouldn't be trying to grow in a cabinet...If anyone has seen a fully contained stealth cabinet for sale please let me know. I looked everywhere. I know bloombox sells different modules but i dont want modules.. Plus like i stated before Bllobox has that "what the hell is that thing" factor isf someone sees it...

Then once these newbs get their cab and they get a mother or want to veg they figure out they need another area..so they put them in their closet, sit them in their room, or some other less than ideal space without proper smell control, ventation, locks etc. Over half of the posts about mass produced cabs i see people say the ventalation is not strong enough (so they leave the door open..lol). Then their entire stealth is gone and they have been had by the clever advertising.. Just pisses me off because it happened to a friend, many on here, and almost to me.

One more post of ranting and ill stop...

I hate buidling things and think my time is more valuable than doing so.. I would have happily paid a 1500 markup for a complete cab with namebrand components. I just haven't seen one out there as i previously stated. I hear some people saying that "i looked up prices and im only paying 500 more than it would have cost me to due it on my own...". But what they fail to see is you would have done it differently to better meet your needs and not use cheap junk china made equipment specifcally made and sold to these mass producers in quanity that still enables them to throw claim numbers around. People see threads of peoples first grow in the cabinets and they are successful so think they are good..But if you look at their subsequent grows you see how they make changes, upgrades, additions, or junk it all together.

Someone who has a felony, criminal convictions, or has trouble finding employment could make a killing. Hell even if you made less than 75,000-100,000 USD a year i would look into buidling cabs. There are individuals with money out there that will gladly spend money for quality products... Often times the people with money are in the business world and look at it as an investment. And growing, even for personal use, has a tremendous ROI (return on investment).

It is not like other industries where you have to compete with powerhouses that own market share and have endless resources to spend on development and advertising. Most people look on these forums before purchasing a cabinet/growing device etc. Claims coming from experts such and other owners or experts in this forum have alot more weight than some claims on a vendors website... Do you see how many people read these threads and dont say say anything? All these "lurkers" are potential customers". I know because i did it and do it before every purchase i make... These forums are almost like the cnet of growing products.

That being said you can spend 1000 on tools and build a cab. Keep your day job and sell the first few at cost to get some attention.. You can make a cab in a spare bedroom. Once you do a few look into getting some mass quanity discouts(which are huge in this arena) and continue on. Maybe even buy some advertising on RIU to support the site..Just dont start buidling shit like these other companies and be transparent. Hell I will buld you a free website with all the bells and whistles just because im pissed i was forced to build a cabinet myself...

Trust me if i didnt have a successful career and lack of building skills (dont even need them though, building cabs isnt difficult). Especially since there is no competetion out there and the way law reform seems to be taking place. I mean simple economics here. I think like 12 states have medical marijuana laws in the US right now and some are decriminalizing marijuana to a certain extent. Soon other states will be following suit and growth rate of deman is exponential... Some people may argue that why spend that ampount on a cabinet when you cabn buld a whole grow room etc". Most people dont want that much weed because they would never sell. Maybe they arent willing to take the risk of selling, or perhaps their careers are just much more lucrative, or maybe they just hate growing things. For whatever the reason many people just want a system for personal use that is discrete and cuts in to their everyday lives as little as possible. These new "medical marijuana users" will want easy to use cabinets and other growing mediums for personal use...

thats just IMHO

maybe the sterotype about stoners being lazy is true..lol

I see filthyFletch builds some quality shit for cheap and even sells to his local growshops.. A market i didnt previously mention. I have yet to see him build a fully contained unit( although i am certain he could and it would be pretty badass)

I haven't..i don't waste my time on shit like that...that is why I asked what a "fake" was.

I judge people on RIU about what I have learned from the or from the enjoyment I have gained from reading their posts/threads. I feel that is what RIU is a place to share ideas, success, and failures. All of which I feel FilthFletch is a model member at doing.

If anyone wants to talk shit talk shit on the people who have "give me reps if....". The same ones that just try to get a better status under their names who waste my time and others time. Who repeat bullshit or state the obvious... Otherwise leave the model members alone or do it by PM instead of spreading you garbage to others who have limited exposure to this forum and don't know what context you are spitting shit from your mouth with..like a pussy spreading "rumor".

Not directed at you southKorea..just in general..
