New Grow Cabinet. Just Made (Pics)

So. I got tired of haven such a hard time managing My temps in my closet so i went out and did some brain storming came up with this.
Still got some kinks to work out. Looking for your guys input to help work those out.

Well only Kink atm. is induction. i dont think i will need a fan for the induction i think that will be passive due to the 250 cfm fan uptop pulling air out. But the problem is where and how to make a hole so no light will come in.

Oh yeah another Kink. I need some fans in there to beat the crap outa my stems. this i was thinking mount some PC fans on the sides with open holes to the out side room. how ever this will still give me spots where light can get in.

Also. See how my Vent fan is up top and there are shelfs in each layer. there isnt much space between the walls and the shelfs will this be a problem for the fan working as a induction fan?

any ideas on anything would be amazing

just realized they really dont have much more room to grow stacked ontop like that :-/ this cabinet might only end up being useful for 2 plants

I got some of those little vent cover things that are on the outside of houses blowing the air from peoples dryers out and put that over the hole on mine.

Peace

fresh air should be vented through bottom, hot air exhausted through top.

thats the plan hence the exhaust fan at the top. and wanting to make holes in the bottom. just wondering if the 250 cfm is enough to act as the intake and exhaust and if those little spaces between shelfs and side wall is enough. or maybe i should cut 1inch by 6 inch slit in the back of each shelf?

yeah thats a good idea. only i kinda didnt want to much noticeable from the outside. but i think i can do it right. throw 4 pc fans in there? 2 for each shelf all of them on the right side? that way the air is actualy getting transferd accross the plants when its getting pulled to the top?

P.S once i get this box set up the preferred way i plan to switch over to 12/12 and start flowering.

Dude. I would cover the whole inside of your box with panda plastic.
You can see the glow from the outside. YOu don't want any light leaking into your grow.
This will also help to make your box more airtight

if you noticed by the pictures. there are before and after pictures. the glow is before i painted the entire outside with all krylon fusion. i took a picture after to show no light leaks. i also put weather stripping on every joint where 2 pieces got put together. and i also outlined both doors with it as well.

Well, good luck and keep us updated on the grow

just tied down 4 more branches on my LST plant. see how it takes in the am after 6 hours of dark . the canopy was very cluttered. hopefully this helps it. i probably should a tied down more branches awhile ago.
I sure hope given my plants a new home and hopefully a easier environment to control. will make these girls turn around. now that they are showing sex and i seem to have lucked out and got all females.

i removed alot of the nasty looking fan leaves off my LST plant. a cupple of them where just about right at the top of the plant. is this a bad thing to remove them? i figured why allow the plant to spend extra stength to try to bring these leafs back to life. so i got rida in hopes in excelerate the growth of the rest of the plant. omw out to homedepot i think. try to find some plastic dryer vent covers

Another question. Can i run say 4 pc fans off 1 12v charger and would they all get the 12v? or are they all sharen the 12v? so there getting 3v each?

Just a few updated pictures on some things i have changed.

Still looking into away to seal the doors better for light tight and air tight. i tried weather stripping but it just kept peeling back off.

I might still cut a hole and mount that middle single fan to the side for a mid level intake.

My LST is all over the place. im haven a hard time controlling how it grows. Does anyone know of a good link to a thread on the proper way of doing lst or Techniques?
