Picked up the insulation and finished the exhaust port today. Worked out pretty well I think. Hope to get to mounting things later this week. Here's some pics.

Thanks man... I finally feel like I'm close. One chamber. The 250w is for my current flower tent which sits right next to where the 400w cabinet is going. The wire rack the 250w ballast was mounted on is moving out of the room to make space for the cabinet. I don't really have another good place to mount it.Hey man,
Things are coming together I see.
I am a little confused, It looked like you put both the 250w and the 400w ballast in there.
Do you plan on two growing chambers or one?
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into them. As long as it's a pretty powerful fan it might work. It gets to like 115/120 here in summer.I have an idea for you in regards to ventilation. Obviously the best would be a fresh air intake constantly as well as exhaust but without ducting thats not possible. So the next option is to keep the air in the room fresh. I just picked up this dual fan that fits in the window at wall mart for like $20.00 on close out. They are out of season right now and the best time to buy one. It is reversible and has a thermostat built in.
Its made by Sunbeam. I can send you a pick if you dont know what I am talkin about.
Ya.. we do run our flower tent @ night. It's insane here.. in the summer it frequently doesn't drop below 90F all night! . I need to move to N. Cali.OK, I got ya now.
Yea, that fan has two six inch fans moving a lot of air. It has two speeds.
Sounds to me like running your lights at night is the only way to go.
Hey BringTheNoise, glad to have you - You need the two pieces. One is the shelves and the top (bottom is one of the shelves) and the second is the sides and back of the unit. Without both, you wouldn't have a complete unit. So far I have been pleased with the cabinet. It's relatively sturdy, yet still you can modify it with normal tools. No real issues with it so far that I can see.Hey Dencebuds, I have been following your thread for a couple days and i think im going to buy the same cabinet as you but i have a couple of questions maybe you could answer for me. 1 is it nessecary to buy the shelves or could i go without them? also are you complety satisfied with the shelving unit, have you ran into any problems with it thus far in your build?
Your thread is vary informative. I have wanted to do a stealth grow for some time now and trying to figure it out myself. your thread has given me a visual, thanx.
This is the model I bought:/You Mentioned you where useing a cool tube.... is it the water cooled model or a diffrent one. I live in a cold climate my house temp is about 65f in the winter. Do you think i will still have a problem?
