Here's my take on the NGB cabinet.


do something like this:


make it look inconspicuous:


slide in face for hinge-less, light-proof super stealth!

looking good. i am alswo working on a desk. nice idea with the drawers

[Trev]

looks good so far.

heya duggz!

nice desk.

some questions:

1. does your chair even fit..?

2. what kind of fishies?

3. are you really going to be using the desk to work on..? or is it just a fish tank displayer..?

4. do you really have to have drawers with depth? 20cm depth is quite a lot of wasted space when micro growing.. we all now less space means the plants will be less manageable.. also losing out on space for more plants/foliage for higher yields.. etc.

5. how about having totally fake drawers attached to a big piece of board that seals the grow space? the drawers can have fake locks..

---

if you aren't going to use the desk much.. how about making a trellis unit with sliding doors instead? more space, etc..

you probably won't be able to do a trellis, so perhaps you can do the 'totally fake drawers' thing..?

peace!

PS. fear my MS Paint skills!

thanks, all!

1. yeah, the chair fits, but not quite as nicely as in your picture.

2. for fish i'll go with one of those Siamese fighting fish. little one or two gallon tank is all. superr low maintainance, hard to kill. truthfully, i don't even want fish. i toyed with the idea of putting together a full aquarium stand, 100-150 gallons with a grow space underneath, but couldn't be assed with taking care of the thing. expensive, too.

3. yes, i'll work at the desk. mixing soil. fimming branches. pinching stems.

4. now you really got me thinking about the drawers. you're right, but then when it comes to showing off my handy work, i've got to admit right away that it's a fake. with little drawers i can reach in and grab something and the full stealth effect should be complete. i expect that the wife will figure it out sooner or later, but i keep it stealth from her also (until she figures out) so she knows that i take all possible precautions. When she's used to it, i'll re-design.


on with the tool belt! pics to come!

luv,

ill be using a dresser and like the idea of be able to open them up a little. definately post up some pics when you get to that point. i had originally planned to do the fake drawers as highonthechronic said. the locks on the drawers is a great idea, thanks! now ill have an excuse as to why they dont open haha.

Okay, here's the second step. Notice the ample passive air intakes at the bottom (2 more scheduled for the veg chamber after a battery recharge).




What do you think? Utility chamber too small? gave as much space as I could to the veg chamber. Hm.

[duggy]

adequate ventilation?


I'll put 2 8cm PC fans on those holes you see there in the utility chamber. there's one hole the same size as the others you see leading from each chamber into the utility chamber. passive intakes on the bottom.

I'm worried. will this give me adequate ventilation? would putting fans leading into the utility chamber help? fuck up my negative pressure?

thanks.

Awesome bro, cant wait to see how this turns out. Love the blueprints!

[highonthechroni]

looking cool, duggywug!

not sure if the fans will be adequate, :(

what is the ambient temperature of the room that the box is in? (summer and winter averages).

i don't think those two tiny fans will be pulling much air.. out the 'flowering' chamber at least.. which is where most of your heat will be.

i think the flowering chamber should have seperate fan(s)..

9cm fans are also a bit slow. 120mm is the way to go.. one 120mm in the flowering chamber and you can't go wrong.. (depending on ambient temp). or maybe one 90mm in the utility and two in the flowering chamber.

what are your thoughts on 120mm?

there is a brand that makes 120mm called 'Stealth' - low dB fans, perfect for you.. otherwise the 'ThermalTakes' are great! remember i had them?
