the wood would go better but would it be possible for me to make a flowering and veg/ clone chamber with the top and bottom of the cabinet i found?

Yes look in the indoor forum there is some cool ideas in there. Dont forget to look at hps,etc for ideas, you know your using cfls right? Next is airflow so your down to hole size. Also look at dual chamber grows, and perpetual grow box

This is the type of cabinet i used about 6 yrs ago. The floor space was 2x2 and I had 72" of height.
I put 4 2" holes in the floor and L shaped black piping to hide the light from the bottom. the exhaust had a 6" hole with a carbon scrubber attached to it outside in the back. I used foam stripping to hide the light in the doors. The light hung from the ceiling in the cabinet and my favorite part to help with the heat was the heat shield i put on the light, inside the ballast. I used a pyrex baking tube (bought on ebay for $15) and put it over the lamp. I attached the exhaust fan to this light / baking tube combination. It kept the light cool and allowed for two nice plants to grow within 6" of the 400W HPS.

Pyrex Bake Around

The entire unit was on 4 casters and was locked. the lock on the front was the only thing that was odd about this cabinet in my basement. This is the same set up I'm going with again.

I'm here to brush up on my seed banks / strains before i got at it again. I'm considering using a 600w this time, but will really fight heat control. The 400w worked great, however I had a really nice fan. It wasn't the inline kind, i think it was called circular or something. Very quiet, it's the only things I have left over from the old op.

instead of dual chamber
i'm just gonna do a roughly 5ft single chamber
with a 250w hps
does adjusting the lights only work for cfls
or would it be good to keep my light adjustable?
can someone guide me in the directions for fans to look at?
and i've been looking around for a diy carbon scrubber thread but can't find one
so if anyone has a thread or anything that will help

cab should be in today or tomarrow :D

oh yeah think i would be able to fim,lst,scrog in this?

so u put the (pyrex bake around) around the bulb?
were the 4 2" holes for passive intake?
i can't find circular but i found circulating fans
can u put exhaust fans on most hps lights?

i heard nirvana and attitude are straight
those are the only 2 i know
if u start a journel, when u get everything set up let me know
i read it again and again but just cant fully picture it lol
