Here are some pics from my cameraphone, i know they sucked but i was overwhelmed with the finished product. I just moved to an aprtment from a house and was told there was a yearly inspection coming up, i shouldve known better to move in a college apartment. LOL..but i had to hurry and finish the cab so i could have peace of mind when out the house..
Cab frame made out of 2x2's
wrapped in 1/4 plywood sheeting
Lights: (1-100W HPS) (2 150W CFLS) (2-65W CFLS)
Light section and grow cab divided and air sealed with 1/8" regular glass
Light Cab: removed ballast from light, Took a computer power supply box and used it as a casing for the ballast, 12V power supply and connection for the CFL's
Grow Cab: Intake is a commercial AC fan attached to a dimmer for noise regulation ( AC fans can get a bit loud when at peak power). Exhaust is 3 computer fans side by side on the opposite side of cab.
Using the 2x2's for framing gave me the oppurtunity to use the cavity space betweeen them to put a charcoal filter before the exhaus cancelling all MJ smell, ( Filter still in construction ).
Light Cab : intake is a hole with a plate 1 inch away to block light wrapped by black panty hose piece. Exhaust is 1 computer fan on top of cab facing up also with black pantyhose piece wrapped around it.
Right now even thou the temp in the cab is around 78-82, thwe glass is getting way too hot and since im planning on adding another 100W HPS im working on a better ventilation for the lights at the moment.
Best part yet, with all the MATERIALS used, soil and all, i spent close to $150.00.
Phase II will be a conversion to Hydro with solar panels powering the pumps- ECO GREEN!!!! :aok:.
let me get you guys opinions.
The last 3 is a home made cloner that im experimentting with using the case of blank CD's top and bottom and using the spindle to support the plant while carrying the stem to the water. just made it today so it should be interesting to see if it works..
