The problem with growing the tallest plant possible is that your 250w is only good for about a 12 to 18 inch plant, so you are going to have more than half of cab to use anyways if you wanted. Either way, good luck.

if it is 30 inches width and 20 inches deep, u could fit 6 plants in there. I woulde recommend to do SCROG too...
air OUT fan should be located in the top part of the wardrobe, cuz this is where all hot air is. air IN should be located in the bottom.
gee wizz!! i didnt realise the energy that it requires just to set up. i went down to my local 'home base' and it was SHITE..It didnt have the stuff that i needed. i think ill be buying most of my stuff from ebay.
anyway..
blue bear...i think i will be going with your fabulus idea...a cycle wud be nice. what wattage wud i need to grow 5 foot plants? the idea of growing an 18 inch plant isnt all that appealing!
orange cloud..what exactly is SCROG? and do u think an air vent at the bottom of the wardrobe is sufficient or wud u say that i need a fan for sucking fresh air in.
looking forward to your replies...
Happy smokin
Mr T

each of my plants has a separate vire net (10x10 inches) above em.
spreads buds on the surface nice and even.
doing SCROG helps to fit plant in small height growboxes.

Do you already have the 250W, and if so is it the sunburst? Is there a rim around the hood to slide a glass into the hood to seperate the light from the plants? What kind of stores do you have in your area, Wally Mart, Lowes or Home Depot? Does the cabinet have any kind of shelf in it? Does it have a wood back side or a cardboard backing? I am still going to help you if your intrested, just have a few questions first. You are right in thinking that putting a cab together takes some work and some considerable amount of thought.

hi guys!
cheers for the response..its really good to see the kind of home fitted cabinets that are out there...im lovin it!
ok...looking good orange cloud..organic is looking healthy! thanks for the SCROG info..this expalings why i have seen the mesh method in one of the pics i have seen. i will be reading it in detail when ive more time..just returned from a long day..my heads fried-even with the drugs...lol. appreciate the info mate!
CMORBUD: when i am ready to split my wardrobe up...would the light from the top (veg) interfer with the (flowering section) as i need total darkness. If light escapes down into it..them thats gonna screw up the flowering lighting. I bet ur gonna say..make sure to do a good job at seperating the two compartments-but im shit at DIY-the wardrobe does not have a split...i will have to take a pic of my wardrobe and post it on here soon (weekend probably)
Your cabs look great man....it looks like a room! i just luv the upside down fans! ive read somewhere that foil is not that good as a reflector especially if it is creased...so why do i see it being a common item in cuboards..why not go with white matt paint??
Mr Blue Bear..good day to you.
Ive phoned up a hydro shop and pecked the assistants head about loads of shit...and now i feel alot more confident in knowing what im supposed to be doing. im gonna but most of the stuff online from that shop!
Not got a light just yet but will more than likely be going for a 250 watt lighting unit (all in..reflector..ballast..bulb..etc)- not sure if it is sunburst though-i doubt it as its at a budget price..cant wait to get all my stuff. i will make sure to post a pic of it to show u when i get it.
my cabinet has no shelfves in it..was a cheap 2nd hand one. the backing of it is i think cardboard or perhaps..thin chip board...cheap and nasty anyway. ill try n post a pic of the inside of my cabin at the weekend. the bonus thing about my wardrobe is that its a good size and is white in colour.
so for my 1st grow..all im gonna do is place to fans in the cuboard..one top and bottom, install the lighting, take my plants to the flowering stage and nearing the end of the flowering stage im gonna place some new veggies on at the bottom with the envolite near it...hey wud this work..ive just realised the timing of the lighting will clash with one another?
anyway folks.....gotta head for my bed soon as ive got another long day at work tomoz.....oh and blue bear thanks for offering to help me...im definitely interested in any help and advice.
im soo looking forward to smelling those future plants!
my mate is going off to amsterdam soon...any ideas on the brand of seeds to get?..i want normal majiuana and skunk seeds.
sorry about all the questions dudes!!
Happy smokin guys
