What up everyone. Here is my on going project: THE STEALTH BOX
I decided to go ahead and transform this 70x30x24 cabinit into grow box for two reasons, space and stealth.
-After construction, this was her final resting place, it was a tight fit....not an inch to spare:
-Here are the intake tubes...nice and low for cool air:
-Here are the two intake Cpu fans (70 cfm's ea.) and two 5 inch circulation fans:
-Two equally rated Cpu exhaust fans:
-While wiring the the Cpu fans, I purchased two universal AC/DC adapters. This allows me to adjust my fan speed seperately between my intake and exhaust:
-For light discipline I originally used rubber insulating, but it mostly sucked. It got sticky and only lasted 2 days. The felt insulatation is really nice. I placed it all around the doors and between the upper and lower compartments. It allows for smooth door operation and keeps the the light in the box, and unwanted light out for flowering. As for airtightness (if thats a word), as long as the exhaust is greater than intake, no smell exits the box thanx to the carbon scrubber:
-Here is the carbon scrubber behind the worklights:
-A clear view of the scrubber. I used this step by step DIY Carbon Scrubber demo:
-To prevent hot, stagnated air; I removed the old closet light and installed this Broan bathroom fan/light combo. This was a project in itself, but I am pleased with the end product. Even though it is only rated at 80 CFM's it does the job keeping the closet cool and continueously replacing the stagnated air. You can feel the fresh air getting sucked through the bottom opening of the closet door.
