First timer grow cab take a look

Hi guys first post here so cut me some slack please. LOL Below is my grow cab i made as kinda a stealth grow. Basically its one of those cabs from Home Depot with about a 4'h x 3'L x 2' d. The light is a HTG 400w MH cooltube with 250 cfm duct fan then a small 4" desk fan for exhaust and a 6" for intake. The temps are remarkably cool so far stay around 75 f at the most. The seeds below were some garbage bag seeds i found but i ordered some SKunk #1 seeds from nirvana and those will be the official grow. Question is do you think this will be large enough to support 4 plants seed to harvest? Or Should I try and expand the grow space all the way to the top of the cab? After this trial run i will be constructing a EBB and Flow hydro system for 4 plants maybe 6 if everything goes to plan. Thanks in advanced.

Yea that looks like a lot of wasted space. I would have taken that top shelf right out of at least put it up a few inches if you needed a shelf inside. And what are you doing with that empty side on the bottom?

You got an extra 90 degree turn on the left side. Shift it so it's more like the right side. The less turns and bends and the straighter the path, the better the air flow. Look good though! What's the next step for your plans

You definitely need to completely seal this if you are going to have any chance of keeping that odour inside the cab when they go into flowering.

I assume you're not to bothered about light leakage?

The left hand side is for what?

Looks like you're loosing a lot of space there.

Remember this when thinking about intake and out take:

Intake low

Out take high!


You could probably remove the board the lights are hung from, and the side part..

That would give you the max space you will have for the grow.

If you're not too bothered about being caught or anything you could run the wires outside the box and have the ballast etc outside, giving you plenty of room!

Hope this helps..

where did u buy that cab? how much was it?
