i decided to build my first grow cabinet because bud is getting toooo expensive, so i made my first blueprints through paint its probably the crappiest one out there... i want to follow the book 8oz for less than 100$ but i need to follow it in a very stealthy cab i need help with ventilation

the blue is where new air comes in
the 1st red dot inside the cabinet is a fan
the 2nd red dot is gonna be a hole or maybe another fan is there a way i can put a carbon filter(or something similar) underneath the box to stop smells?

2.) i want the cabinet to be 3 ft tall x 2 ft wide would this be enough for 4 plants?

3.) what company , size fan would be be good, i've heard some good stuff about can fans (i think they're called)

any replys are appreciated

first flaw u got is u got intake and exhaust backwards warm air rises u want fresh coming in the bottom and fan pulling air out at the top near ceiling of grow room
if it is 2x2 no it wont hold 4 plants maybe 2 but cramped

some can grow in small space but u never have so dont try

how are u really gonna tell me don't try i haven't even tried do anything yet, and i realized i got that wrong while i was looking at stuff while it was taking forever for someone to reply, just for real u could tell someone to do more research and think a little more before u tell them not to try at all...

no man u got me wrong i meant dont try 4 in that size i would never tell someone not to grow weed
im all for learning and we learn by mistakes too my first crop i did everything wrong at first then i started looking at old post and google was my friend

and i like your determination and trying to plan it before u plant
most throw seeds out then get on here and sign up to ask hey i planted seeds now what do i do
I think u r off to a good start wanting to research

next thing is the light...gotta have the light lol
what you plan on using? i havent looked at the fans you plan on using but i would make your decision on fans based on your decision of your light.
ya dig?

theres just so many lights/fans/everything's a choice hard for me to make up my mind lol
cfls are best for small operations right?

ya i would say go with cfls...26 watts give you more bang for your buck...for 2 plants i would say get 7 or 8 of those suckers in there.

7-8! alright, like hang 2 like 1-2 inches above the plant and hang the rest on the side? i also have mylar so will that make a difference to how many lights i should have?

it wont make a difference on how many lights it will just make the light better get u some 6500 k for veg and then get 2750k for flower or a 250 hps for flower

I am going to take a different approach on this. You skipped step one. Go to thrift stores, yard sales, craigslist, etc. Look at file cabinets, wardrobes, lockers, safes, server cabinets, and cabinets, etc The price is going to be cheaper than building it yourself, and you might even end up with more room. My thing is and no offense half of the stealth cabs I see are plywood box in garages, followed by in closets. I have never seen a ply wood box in any ones garage and in closets people use Rubbermaid.

i mean do u know which to use for veg and flower
and in the forums they have a seed bank review most i think order from attitude
i dont order seeds i clone so that about all the help i am on seed banks
but if this is your first grow start out with bagseed till u got everything worked out then order seeds no since wasting money while learning
to grow weed u dont have to spend lots of money i seen budget grows just as good as the high dollar stuff
