My only worry is the wiring situation, as I have no idea what I'll need to set up an HPS ballast and light, along with CFL's (should be easy for those, they have built in ballasts)
maxsuperdanks Reviewed by maxsuperdanks on . Building a grow cabinet. Here's the plan thus far. I'm going to use hardboard/ 1/4" plywood to make a 2x2x4' grow cabinet, the inner lining will be reflective mylar or it's equivalent. I'll be using a computer surge protector, which will be housed inside the unit, the only electrical cord coming from the cabinet itself will come from this. My only problems are circulation (I was thinking 120mm computer fans, one side blowing in, the other blowing out, with a carbon air filter on both ends, but I don't know how Rating: 5
