light proofing cabs question

[payn4school]

What are you guys using to light proof your cabs, peticularly the doors?

Also Im am currently serching for the thinnest veg lighting and Flower lighting possible. I want to use a 400 hps for the flower but I need to find a slim reflector with venting options, any ideas?

Here are the pics of my new all in one cab im working on...

Thanks Friends

and the top secret plans...

I use thick weatherstripping foam around all the joints. Also make sure there's a wide frame under the door that covers all the joints.

so you would actually put a thin board all the way up the middle of the cab, where the doors meet? and then wheather strip it?

Just go to the local JoAnn faberic store and buy a big freaking pice of black vinyle and drap it over you might need a few....
______i hope i spelled vinyle right????oh well

make sure the fabric is longer than you cabanit let it run on the floor....

You could use that thick black plastic sheeting and have velcro along the edge and bottom but i think having a strip down the center of the doors is also a good idea. Have you thought about attaching the strip onto 1 of the doors and around the outside edge. That way you won't have 2 sections (just for easy access)....

Just a thought...

You can use pond liner from HD. Cut it into strips about 6" to 8" wide. Staple it to the sidewall extending over the crack and protruding out to the door. With the door open you can staple the other side of the strip to the door, just leave a little bump sticking outward over the crack. That way when you close the door the bump sticks into the closet area.

This will seal the cracks in the door.

The cover the crack between both doors you can use thin wood and cut strips and cover one door and hang it over to cover the crack in-between the doors. Weather strip on the exposed side will seal the last bit. You just need to remember what door to open first.

If you want to keep the tight then add a slide bolt to the fixed door (the one with the wood strip) on the top and bottom.

If you need to you can get a cam lock and install it on the door so nobody can get in with out wrecking your grow closet.

I hope that helps you some.
