What size fans do you think I should get? The fan on the back of your cabinet is pretty sweet Killfrenzi, I'm just not sure how you wire those to actually get power LOL! I'm sure it's simple....hopefully

Also, Sunrise Hi-Low Reflector Hangers - +$9.95 .... do you think I should order those so I can lower and raise my light, or should I look elsewhere for hanging equipment? I have seen those retractable cable like hangers in a grow video....that way you dont have to deal with a chain, just a wire that retracts neatly. (not sure where to find those)

Ok for the issue with the back being cardboard.. I had the same issue. I just went to home depot or whatever and bought a stronger piece of wood that was more sterdy. As for the CPU fan if it doesnt say how many cfm it has, then i wouldnt buy it. Go to Radio Shack and get one there they have a few that are 65 and 85 cfm. The higher the better. If you get one that is 12v DC, just find an old charger of some sort that you dont use and splice the 2 together. Make Sure the old charger says 12v output. Also when you go to mount the fan it needs to be at the highest spot possible to suck out the hot air. Use I-hooks and chain links to raise and lower the lights.
killfrenzi Reviewed by killfrenzi on . Cabinet grow I'm embarking on my first grow adventure which will be within a cabinet. 60"H x 24"W x 12"D White Kitchen Cabinet - Extra Storage Cabinet - Kitchen Pantry - Kitchen Cupboard I luckily owned the cabinet so now I'm deciding on which light to hang in the cabinet. I figure 250w HPS would be risky dealing with heat, so I might as well get a 175w HPS to stay safe and still grow nicely. High Tech Garden Supply What parts should I order for that light?^^ Do you think I could manage to grow 2 Rating: 5
