Glaus goes orange 110w pl-l

I have send the old Scrog/SOG cab on retirement and build a new and upgraded cab 2.0, so I thought it would be appropriate with a new thread for the orange monster :whee: ;).

Here she is posing with my morning coffee, almost finished (both coffee and cab). All I need to do now is to mount knobs on the magnetic doors and filter the intakeholes.

The cab is designed as the famous NGB-cab with bloom, veg and tech compartments. In this design passive air is entering through the light trap located on the bottom of each chamber. I think I have stolen the design for the light traps from LoKey, but I am not sure. :bandit:

- Bloom section is approximately 2 sq.ft. and is lit by 2 x 55w 3000k Pl-ls.

- Veg section is approximately 1 sq.ft. and is temporarily lit by a single 21w 2700k CFL (will replace this as soon as I find a suitable replacement, but cold white CFLs are a rarity in my area)

- Exhaust is pulled through my trusty scrubber by a Scythe Ultra Kaze fan on half speed. Not a smell yet :jump:

- Temperature keeps within 5-6 degrees above the ambient temperature.

Temps at the end of the day. Ambient on top and bloom room on bottom.

For now I will be running a multi-strain SOG in 100% coco and lucas formula with GH. This way I intent to select the best strains for a future Scrog grow.

Lemon Skunk day 50

:smoker: Take care
 
Good construction
Inconspicuous design
Clean finish

Well done sir! And you've even made a fashionable piece - in my opinion that is one of the hardest parts of cab construction. Making it look like a good piece of furniture that you're proud to own in the end.

Could you tell us more about the magnetic door situation? Are they solenoid locking magnets or regular catches?

Thanks you guys :)

Carforce - The doors are hold in place by regular catches magnets. Originally it was temporary solution, but they work so well that I have no intentions of replacing them for now.
This is the 3rd grow cab that i have build and so far the most inconspicuous of them. It is not completely silent, but still more silent than my laptop :)

Lemon Skunk day 57 - looking forward to this strain. When I am tending to the grow she fills the entire room with a pleasant skunk/lemon smell :yummy:. She will be ready in a week or two :jump:

:smoker: Have a nice day

Interested in using pll's for my next grow

Do you think you can possibly add 2 more for a total of 220watts? and cool them off with a stronger fan?

How hot do they actually get?.

great design.... aesthetically pleasing
