Lightbulb Mini Fridge Grow DWC ScRoG PL-L

So my good buddy Aerohead and I were bowling one night with some Sailor Jerry and came up with a great Idea! I have a good ole Coleman Convertible Cooler. The cool part is that these coolers already come with a built in sump with drain, as well as shelving for scrogging. We put her together in a couple minutes for your eyes only, ICMAGers! I call it a Boleman Wiserbud Mini Fridge. Hope you like her.... By the by it's Northern Lights!!! We will be putting a 100-216w PL-L system in shortly.

Very tidy!

What are you doing in the way of ventilation in there?

Talking RE: ventilation

The ventilation provided at this point is a 120mm PC fan with a large passive intake. When the new PL-L lighting system is installed, it will be 3 120mm PC fans. At this point, closed and sealed, the fridge is only 4 degrees above ambient temp. In my opinion that is very impressive. Thank you for the post and keep lookin, more to come...

When I ran a 150 HPS in my freezer a single 76 CFM axial was sufficient for cooling and could handle a DIY odorsock type filter. I doubt it could've handled a legitimate scrubber but, I never really tried. Sounded just like an old freezer should.

NOT saying stick to one fan, just ... relating the story.

Great looking cab! Love the dragon!

Wink RE: Freezerboy

Thank you for your time and consideration in your advice. I have absolutely no noise from this unit at all. Aerohead and I have flush mounted the fan inside the wall of the fridge itself so as to be flush on the outside. I will be able to present pics of this soon, as I haven't taken them yet. As far as no-stink... personally my house is big enough not to care about the stink... so a carbon filter probably won't be necessary. At this time the DWC and the single fan are taking care of everything, however, I think it will be interesting to see what happens once the plants hit the scrog and are running the PL-L system that is on order.

Smile RE: expert

First I would like to say thank you for your post. I have heard of your expert advice. I have been growing outdoor organic for years. I am learning from a great friend of mine, Aerohead, and he is showing me the way to make my dream possible. I will be posting very constantly with what is added as well as when they grow. They are 7 days cloned at this point and barely have roots to show. As soon as something comes up you will be able to see. But in theory, this will be a sweet scrog setup.\

P.S. Anyone who knows what you are doing is welcome to leave advice as I am very new to the non-dirt method!

Wow, nice job Coleman! I didn't know they were making grow cabs once up on a time. I dig.

I always thought fridges/freezers where the perfect environment for a grow cab. Insulated (for sound), doors close perfectly sealed, and they're always white on the inside. The only thing is that you're going to have to grow those girls pretty small in order for everything to fit...

I know, they are going to be tiny little buds, but the idea that I am running here is simple. Get one fridge going to it's max potential, then get a couple more going and have a perpetual fridge setup! I hope to get 4-8" spears and about 40-60 bud sites. new pics coming soon
