Second Cool Cab grow from Sunlight Sheds

Ok guys, here is my second grow in the cool cab that i got from sunlight sheds. my first grow went horribly wrong and i had to clean everything out and start over. for what ever reason on my first grow the plants stretched WAY to far and reached the light after 3 weeks into flower. so on this one i will go to flower mode after they reach 8" in height. i would aprecaite any and all help with tih sna dwill take plenty of pics and show as the grow progresses. right now the set up i have is a cool cab, drip system, 400w light, and will be using GH nutes. i have some AN nutes but will wait for that until the next grow. i have already made some changes inside the cab, and will be making more. i added two CFL's inside as you can see from the pics, and will be taking the clone chamber you see at the top out, as i think i need more room . i will just attach the light tot the very top for about another foot of grow room. ADVICE NEEDED GUYS!! and by the way, the seed im using is just bad seed right now. i have some Northern Lights seeds but waiting to use those after i get past the learning curve

I have that Cool Cab as well and made modifications to it. I haven't run it is some time now though. I took the top shelf out, mounted the light from the inside top to get more height. I got a new tub and only made 5 holes in it as that is how many decent plants you can get in there. I also sealed the inside door seems. Good luck.

Thanks for the info!i have already sealed the doors seams like you said, and yes the last time i tried to use all the grow pots, but need to do as you did and reduce the amount of grow sites. what kind of results did you get with yours as far as yeild?

I got about 2 ounces a plant, 5 plants. I got a new rubber maid roughneck and cut out the new holes in the lid, ran the drip lines to them. I also glued a plastic container in the bottom to house the pumps to keep the roots out. As for the nutes, I use clear ones too so no clogged lines.
One thing I did wrong, vegged them to big, they out grew the space. I had to bend them down under the light and a cola was burnt. So now I do only clones put them in to flower at like 5 to 6 nodes.
