I got the cabinet for $79 at home depot. Do yourself a favor and get a wooden one about the same size, I was going to but figured this one would work, and it will, but it has light leak issues as well as being plastic doesn't really help with silencing fans - So if you try to put a proper exaust system on it, the entire thing will hum - Stick with a wooden cabinet, this is good for veg, but like I said, light leak issues for flowering

I picked my strains based on effect and flowering times. Most of my strains are seed to harvest in 60 days.

As far as electricity, if you want to do something like this, I can actually give you step by step pics as I'm about to repeat the process with a wooden box. If you want me to do a DIY wooden cabinet log, with complete setup and a seed to harvest log following that cabinet so we can see the end result, I'll gladly do it. Just say the word

Thanks for the compliments, means a lot as this is my first box!
low_rdr Reviewed by low_rdr on . First Grow - 2600 + watt CFL!!!! Greetings Everyone, and especially myself. I'm using this as a true grow log, a step by step to my successes and failures using a CFL Cabinet. Before I get too in depth, I'd like to point out that the main reason I decided to use CFL's was heat - It was not cost. Originally I thought CFL's would be 30-40 degrees cooler in a cabinet, and my heat issues would be null and void. Where I'm growing, I have no need for carbon filters, no matter how bad the stink is, I'm covered. That being said, Rating: 5
