I am now gathering the items needed for my fridge grow. I am still going to vent into the flower chamber, but will add bigger fan to vent flower chamber. Reasoning is, the veg chamber lights will be on 24/7, and that heat will keep the flower chamber, room temp during daylight when I am at 12/12, and will not be enough to really affect it when I am on since I am going with a cool tube. The theory is, most of the heat from the HID will be pumped out. That's theory. If I need to, I can easily seal off the veg to flower vent. We'll see but it got down below freezing last night out in my garage and it is only OCT. I will do 12 on during night hours like 9pm-9am and use the warmer daylight hours for my dark period.
My question is this. I am all set, I know what I need equipment wise and have been collecting it. I am cutting a board to fit the fridge for the base of the flower chamber. The seams will be caulked to keep light from the veg chamber out. My problem is the door. What can I use to seal the seam between the fridge door and the base of the flower chamber?
I thought of getting a block of foam and fastening it to the inside of the fridge door so that when it is closed, the foam pushes up to the board, making a groove of sorts. how do other cabinet systems do it? Do I need to take the inner shell off the fridge maybe? This is my last hurdle as I have the plan, the equipment etc to start.
Thanks
P.S. I am considering running the flower chamber vent straight up into the attic of the garage. Would this take care of the odor? I can hide the vent behind junk in the garage.
