With a cabinet, you'll be able to keep you temps down.
A few things to consider, but might be the right decision for you. :)

Niice thanks for the input..i was at home depot today looking at wood ..$$! didn't think it was gunna be 20$ a sheet lol ..i was also looking at sheds, i saw some really good ones that even had ventalation ducts and polls to hang lights from ..for around 800-1000 wasen't bad concidering how nice they were ..would make great for about 20 grows at a time ..lol
Yes you can make a wooden grow chamber. I have one with over $2000 worth of equipment inside growing 12 plants at a time. Here's a list of what I used. You can figure out how it all goes together.
- 3/4"x4'x8' Particle Board
- White Tile (For Flooring)
- Door Hinges
- Door Pull Handle
- Cam Lock (To Lock For Security)
- Eave Vent (For Passive Intake)
- Smoke Detector (Well That's Obvious With Grow Lights Inside)
- Door Sealant Tape (To Block Light From Entering Door You Will Make)
- Aluminum Tape (I Used To Tape Up Mylar At Corners)
- White Paint (For Outside Of Box To Make It Fit In With House And Surroundings)
- Silicone Sealant (To Seal Corners Of Inside Of Box After Nailing Or Screwing)
Total Cost At Home Depot Or Lowe's $137.00
Hope this was of help to you in some way. Good luck.
Yeah I had the same problem growing in my closet... so I made a box using some simple supplies found at home depot or walmart. Here's the thread: http://boards.cannabis.com/showthrea...=RASTA%27S+BOX
I made a box over the summer using pallets thanks to a design by Zandor. Can you say free wood? The grain looks awesome too. :)

In theory, I can SOG 12 clones in there with 0.5-1.0 oz per plant.
If I did could do it differently, I'd make the door run the entire height not just the top half.
I had about $400 invested with equipment and growing supplies.
Very helpful. Thank you!Quote:

Yes Lowe's or Home Depot will cut it for you at no charge.

Indeed :D that ends my hysteria about electricity in closets. Thx!
U seem to be a wise man concerning cannabis. :thumbsup:
Less than $100, I call it my chronic box. It's triangular shape holds 3 dual-40w CFLs totalling 240w, which just happen to be in it right now and WOW is it brigh! Every wall covered with foil, (I know I know, foil sucks, but mylar is in the mail), and also contains a removable top for easy access to tall growing plants. And no matter what anybody says about growing full cycle with CFLS, yes... it is very possible and successful, it just takes significantly longer. The only problem with it right now, I can't find a cheap enough fan to ventilate the damn thing, cuz with the door shut, it will reach the 100s easily. The fan will then be mounted into one of the sides, ciruclating air. I made this off the top of my head one day just as a project, so I know it's nothing perfect, but hey, it's my chronic box.
I like it. :)Quote:

growing with fluoros does not take longer, plants still mature at the same rate, it just doesn't produce as much yield as you would get from a HID light
a cab is the best way to go if ya ask me .. just make sure you have adequate ventilation to cool your lighting/provide fresh air :thumbsup:
Ummm....You burn to death in your sleep?Quote:
