I have £100 budget to make a new stealth cab, i need you guys to help.

Being the only community which helps me with my stupid questions or thoughts, I thought i should just ask help for one important thing.

I need to make a stealth cab / wardrobe and my budget is £100-120
I know the basics but thats it nothing else

[I AM NOT ASKING THE COMMUNITY TO DO THE JOB FOR ME
AND I HAVE DONE MY BIT OF RESEARCHING, JUST HELP FOR THE JOB!]

I want to make a stealth cab or wardrobe for 2-3 plants, with CFL'S
and computer fans as extraction, no other things.

Whats the best way to look for or to start of?

My plan is to buy a new cabinet ( ikea £22 ) and then mod it a bit, make all the front drawers attachble to eachother so it looks like one way and then open it up from the back, use CFL'S ( 125-200w ) for 3 plants on 12/12, inside will be painted white or aluminium taped, the plants will be short high yielding indicas, the cbinet will have to be lightproof and very stealthy.

1 . What dimenions should i be looking at? in cm as in WxLxD
2 . What tools do i need? I have a holesaw set, hammer, nails.
3 . Whats the best shops to look for things i neeD?
4 . How will i make it stealthiest as possible ( no light in, no light out )

I just need all the help i can get, just name parts and info and i'll do that
i'm going to listen to the community to build a new cab, obviously with my thoughts too.

REMEMBER I HAVE A £100 BUDGET! and im sure that could do the job.

Please any info will be thanked for

Sorry for any stupid questions, I am researching myself and not asking for you guys to build it for me but i just need more advanced help as you guys are experienced and I am not.

well u said u were buying a cabinet, just put mylar paypa, u can use 6500k or 5000k cfl bulbs daylight for vegg. on the size thats up to u how long u will vegg n etc. youre growing 3 plants u will need alot of cfl's for that,like more then 4,remember the more light the better, 100watt per plant. all i can give u cuz i dont get help much here from anyone, hope this helps a bit n for light not getting in,make a door lol unless u buying it a ikea. ciao

I did exactly this a the beginning of my 2nd grow!

1 . What dimenions should i be looking at? in cm as in WxLxD: Ikea have a (i think) 3 drawer type thing which measures about Hx4ft, Wx4.5ft, Dx40cm for £25.
2 . What tools do i need? I have a holesaw set, hammer, nails: All you need is nails and duct tape and a hammer (the back board is so thin you can cut it with a knife!)
3 . Whats the best shops to look for things i neeD: What I'd do is grab the appropriate CFL's from basement lighting or greens horticulture (I went for 2x 125w Reds) but whatever works for you I also assume you know the correct lights/spectrums etc! B&Q is quite good for any extra supplies, they do an awesome soil which is in the purple bag (just called all purpose compost) and they do the usual perlite and vermiculite in small 5L bags for £4.99 which is generally enough for small scale grows/pots.
4 . How will i make it stealthiest as possible ( no light in, no light out ): DUCT TAPE AND MORE DUCT TAPE! XD any gaps/corners can be taped up pretty straight forward

if you look at the beginning of my 2nd grow journal you'll see roughly how I put my box together and paint the inside matte white as its quite cheap and easy to get hold of from anywhere.

I think 3 plants is a bit of the push for budget/space you want, you can easily get a bad ass yield from ScrOG in that relatively small space off of 1 or 2 plants.

General tip 1: don't get over ambitious that's how you fuck yourself over lol!

Cfls with DIY dwc and you could prob have some money left over
