Stealth Armoire Build!!! (PICS)

Hey whats up guys? This is my first stealth build and ive got a few pics, a few questions, and a list of supplies. I was originally going to do this (https://www.rollitup.org/stealth-micro-cab-growing/622382-stealth-desk-build-lpics.html ) stealth desk build but figured i should go a little bigger....so for now thats put on hold.

Ok i picked this up today on craigslist for $20....pretty good deal. Seems pretty solid... ive just gotta get a good sheet of plywood for the back and gut the inside. The inside measures in at 31.5in W x 17.5in D x 56in H.



so ive gotta a couple questions about lighting. Im going to be using a 6" inline fan / carbon filter to cool and exhaust. Also
Im going to be going with HPS NO MATTER WHAT! I just have a couple questions on lamp size. Im going to be doing a 2 plant SCROG in Soil and was wondering if i should go with:

- (1x) 250W HPS w/ digital ballast and Cool tube ?
- (2x) 150w HPS w/ digital ballast and Cool Tubes ?

im not really looking to run a 400w (i know its not much) but i dont really want that on my electric bill and i want to try and make this cab pretty quiet.

QUESTIONS:

- 3 or 5 gal pots? planning on doing a 2 plant scrog
-Intake? Should i use a pc fan or 2 hooked to a speed controller?
- (light question above)
- Should i also be using any side lighting? (CFLs?)

SUPPLIES I PLAN TO USE:

-8in deep Plastic Bin and small water pump for flood tray and flush
-PVC & string SCROG Screen
-6in inline fan / carbon filter
-6in duct muffler
-6in Insulated ducting
-6in worm Hose Clamps
-fan speed controller
-Flame Defender
-Thermometer / Humidity meter
-Timer
-Light hangers
- MH and HPS Bulbs
-Lock


I also have a piece from the inside of the armoire which could make a perfect shelf and i can block off my fan/ballast(s)/ muffler and what not from the rest of the grow area.....im not sure if i should keep it open or not?

Any help or input what so every would be very much appreciated. i look forward to your responses and ill be updating frequently......time to get the inside painted!

also do you think i can get away with using a 4in inline fan and carbon filter instead of a 6in or will it be to loud?

I do think you could get away with a 4 inch fan

ive used a 6' inline fan / muffler and carbon filter in a 4x4 room and it was still kinda loud.....never used a 4in. gonna im gonna need a fan controller either way.

looks good little project , how you planning on light proofing the front ? that's always been my biggest problem with wardrobes .

i was actually thinking about that this morning.....havent fully gotten there yet haha. ill post up some ideas soon. i was gonna start painting the inside flat white the other night and post up some pics but ive been extremely sick and havent felt motivated to do much of anything.

Weather stripping works very well to light proof the front, it worked for me when I used an old wardrobe.For the area in the middle that the two doors join, you can also use a long piece of cardboard or foam, just glue it on the inside of one door with half an inch or so overlapping the other door....i hope that makes sense, it works really well.

Nice cab...Just thought I'd give you a couple ideas....I run 600w HPS at flower...dimmable digital ballast is the ticket...as the plants grow they can handle more light..CO2 helps with the heat...don't go cheap on the carbon filter if odor is an issue...good luck

Mr. Natural, what kind of HID/Reflector do you have in your wardrobe there? Im looking for something similar to upgrade too from CFLs.

Nice setup Mr. Natural.

Thanks,Neon...been on a break...good to be back....

looks great brother. as far as the 4/6'' fan, i use a 6 in my 5x5x7 and it will pull a joint out of my hand thru my cool tube lmao.. so i got a dimmer switch and it made it twice as loud by slowing it down.. try just a 4'' inline duct fan instead of a turbo fan.. good luck KEEP ON GROWIN
