Micro Veg Cab - Micro Grows - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

I have my micro grow in the grow diaries, don't want to repeat so I am going to share my new addition. My veg cab:
Began with an old 2 drawer metal filing cabinet.
I removed the top drawer, spray painted it white, drilled holes in the back, placed a wire on top to hold the lights.

Inside I have two 32 watt cfl's, a thermometer, a Tru Air carbon filter, and a fan behind the cab blowing in the holes.
I attached velcro down the sides of the cab and along the sides of a piece of black leather. I covered part of the leather with mylar.
Then I cover the whole thing with a table cloth and there ya go, a veg cab.

lol, nice stealth idea !

Nice - I've often thought a filing cabinet could be put to better use than holding old papers!

How do you find your ventilation system with a fan blowing through the holes?

And what do you flower in? A micro setup as well?

I also have one of these True Air filters in there. It has a carbon filter in it and also moves air. The fan and holes work great! At first I didn't have the holes, I thought by having the top drawer out, it would be enough. But the heat build up in it was so bad. I have a small fan sitting behind it and it works very well.
I do have a micro grow, I just did a grow diary from beginning to end in the diary section and have some pics in my gallery.

NICE!!! very Inventive , fire proof , inexpensive , And stealthy ... I could put one of those right next to my chair and never have to get up again .. he he

That deserves the 'MacGuyver of the month' award , IMO, you have my vote.
