Thedude4552s' Perpetual multi-chamber Grow Cab Build

notice how this thread suddenly stopped when he installed that ducting inside the box realizing how much space those bends take up! sorry man. I'd suggest doing a mtnjohn inspired cornered cabinet if i were you. In other words place that cabinet not on a flat wall but at an angle in the corner of a room. Then just like Mtnjohn you could put all of your ducting outside of the box on the back and still have it invisible to everyone who enters the room. inside your box you would waste not a single bit of light or grow space, which to me, is the number one rule to micro growing.

Good luck and hope to see the thread thriving again

Well my plants will only be vegging for 1 week after the clones root.Its perpetual so it will most likely be several smaller plants. It will be a process of trial and error im sure, but I'll start them 12/12 from clone or seed if that's what it takes! Plus I'm keeping a mother for cuttings and the clone propagator in the same chamber and the vegging plants in another larger chamber. I felt that was the best route as I wanted to give the plants room to veg without a DWC cloner getting in the way

Something I had read might interest you ; The gas lantern method :
This method is quite simple: 12 hours of light, followed by five and one half hours of darkness, a single hour of light exactly, and then a second period of five and one half hours of darkness. Placing a full hour of light in the very center of a 12-hour dark period tricks the plant and interrupts the buildup up of sensitive floral hormones, which would normally trigger flowering by destroying them. The grower simply raises the plants to the desired size before switching to the fall schedule to bloom.
Using this method, vegetative duration may be also reduced, and with a shorter growth cycle comes more frequent and better production. Vegetative cycles can be shortened by one to two weeks, and flowering may also be shortened a week or more using this method in con-junction with a diminishing light schedule.
