145W CFL Stealth Cab[UNDER £60!] 99% Complete... - Micro Grows - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

KIDDbrown · 08-02-2006, 09:16 AM

this is just a lil something i put toether this evening. i still have to add weather strippin to the door to seal the front door for light but other than that the rear intake and side exhaust is light proof. its just shy of a meter tall. i used a 105W CFL and mixed it with 2 20W CFLs for the variation of the spectrum. the intake and exhaust pvcs are 2.5cm diameter and painted black on the inside to kill the light. the fans i used are 1 120mm and two 80mm(enough airflow ehh?). and like i said all i need to do is seal off the front door with weather stripping and this badboy is ready for a killer SHROG. sorry i got a bit messy with the Original Glue, it has a mind of its own, that ill scrape off the bulbs tomorrow(had to let it dry). also im gonna hang a homemade carbon scrubber made from active carbon for aquarium filters and an old BUT clean sock. any questions, comments, sugestions, whatever, please feel free to post.

thank you pontiac and bipedal.

yeah that cfl i had to brag about when i got it haha. its a bit tricky sometimes to get fitted. it spans the cab from corner to corner diagonally. one thing i forot to mention that was so nice when i got this cab was that the interior came white, how perfect! i was plannin on gettin the plywood cut and i would assemble it but i was strollin thru the hardware store and saw this made by closetmaid and it was only £10!

cool.. lets see a grow in this thing. ive never seen such a huge spiral cfl, doesit screw into regular sockets?

cid420 · 08-02-2006, 12:56 PM

um not to dis u or anything but hows the lumens gonna carry that far i woulda put the smaller bulbs lower down mine all set up adjustable so i can keep them inch away from plants

KIDDbrown · 08-02-2006, 08:09 PM

yes the 105W CFL does screw into a regular socket. i had to cut down some of the flange around the socket tho for the ballast to fit in properly.

as for the height both the screen and the shelf are height adjustable. the sides of the cabinet have holes in which you can raise or lower the shelves and i plan to be doin that

dont worry bro, no offense taken

Yeah yeah! Micro grow on the way here

I'll keep watching!

And I think your airflow is very enough ! In our 2 rubbermaid setup we had only one 90mm fan for intake and a 90mm hole for intake and the airflow (I think) was enough...!

Cya!!!
