Just built this cabinet, tell me what you think

[chongman420]

Hey guys thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated I didn't add it up down to the penny but I'd say I got about $250 in just the cabinet not including all the goodies that go in it. Still not sure what to do about the ventilation system (Stinkys words burning in my brain like a hot cattle prod though) My veg cabinet isn't anything special, but I'll show it to you anyway.

Good Job on Your Cabinet!!! And Yes they do make 4ft Light Track's..
Like Stinky said, You might have to redo your ducting. If you haven't got the 400 yet, I'm with her, two 250HPS might be your best bet!!
Good Job & Good Luck.....Later

Hey thanks Hatch and everybody else! I originally wanted to put 2 400w hps lamps in there but it just wasnt reasonable. 2 250w lamps does sound better than 1 400w now that I think more about it (light distribution and heat). But I just bought that air cooled reflector specifically for this cabinet and I already had the 400w ballast and bulbs so I just stuck with it.

Hey no problem!!! You will be ok with the light choice you have. You might have to raise it to get good coverage. Good Luck, & fill it up!!!.....Later

sorry chongman, but I'm high and I have just one question for stinky.

Run the exhaust on your HPS pulling air THROUGH an air-cooled hood and out- the order will be: Open end in grow room-> through light hood -> through ductwork -> through blower -> through carbon filter.

If the carbon filter is closed on one end and you have your blower blowing through the filter; how do you expel the hot air from your cab?

I want to run a carbon filter in my cab also and just wanted to know. Thanks :jointsmile:

the air is expelled out the side of the carbon filter, forcing the air through the carbon therefor scrubbing it and making no stink!
