Introducing- The 4of20_BoRG CUBE
**A couple of things of note-
*The Carbon Scrubber is smaller than SiS's as a 8" round x 2ft length w/ a 6" duct was too big for this setup
(mine is smaller and still cost 70 bucks WTF!!!j/k I have stuff left over)
*The HPS Ballast is housed in a gutted and modified old 250w computer power supply
*The HPS Cooltube uses the baking rack that it came with for support and to attach the Reflector
The reflector was made with 6" aluminum ducting , shaped (poorly) into a Batwing and painted white.
*The Seedling/Clone CFL fixtures were made with dual socket bathroom fixtures and a workshop flouro light reflector cut in half
The reflectors were then attached together with aluminum tape to make a single quad socket fixture.
*The Veg CFL fixture is a mogul socket attached to a 3/8 piece of plywood in a U shape.
It is cooled by 2- 80mm computer fans set on each side of the mogul socket
The reflector is the other half of the 6" ducting attached with L brackets to the plywood back.
I still havent recieved the Fan grills to cover the exaust holes (had to order from Canada to get the different sizes in all the same style)
The cabinet, as it is now, is not 100% light tight. (Stealth wise)
There is light showing through the Cooltube intake as well as the exaust. I guess it reflects more than I thought through the dryer duct (aluminum)
It also has some minor light coming through small cracks around the doors. I have tried different weather stripping but havent found one that blocks all the light coming out.
The 4' round mini "darkroom" louvers suck! They let light through. I will be removing these and putting 2 more 8x8 Doran Darkroom louvers in their place
Well, there you have it.
My first attempt at a Grow Cabinet.
I have just started my first grow in it to work out the kinks and already I have found things that need to be changed.
This is an ongoing project and I will try to keep this post updated with any changes.
All Comments are equally welcome. Good or bad
Thanks for any help you can pass along
