Hey just about finished building my grow cab! gonna finish light proofing it tonight then im good to grow!
CABINET:
Passive intake is on the bottom right
Exhaust fan is on the very top left blowing into a vent tube that's attached to a carbon filter thats mounted on the bottom of the floor.
all the insides were painted white and all cracks were sealed so its airtight
Going to put my power strip on the left in the empty spot and hook everything up including my lights to the timer
the cabinet may look simple but this thing took like 4 weeks to build so im suuper excited to finally get it going! probably cost around $150-$225 for everything including soil, pots, ect.
the dimension of it are 13 1/2" x 13 1/2" x 18" (LxWxH)
Heres the Carbon Filter mounted on the bottom:
made it with 2 Walmart pencil holders some dryer sheets, activated carbon, and electrical tape
LIGHTS:
I know your supposed to use 6500k for veg and 2700k for flower but i heard some people like to mix them to get a good light spectrum so im gonna try it out lol
2x 100w replacement 2700k
2x 100w replacement 6500k
I made that little reflector and mounted the lights in it , fits perfect in the cab
I also put a little fan into the side it to exhaust some the heat
SEEDS:
I have 1 White Smurf seed, 3 Strawberry Cough, and 2 randoms all germinating right now so far its been about 28 hours and the 2 randoms already started sprouting
SOIL:
I have some miracle grow potting soil some peat moss and some perlite. I also have some bone meal for flowering
I haven't mixed my soil yet because im not to sure on the ratios of the peat moss, perlite, and soil yet... and suggestions would be appreciated
I might ScroG it but considering its my first grow, i might save that till next time!
Lets hope for some girls!
Ill post some pics when i get them in there!
