Nice little cab man. For $9 that's a steel and looks to be perfect for what you're doing.
Keep up the good work, I'll be keeping an eye on this thread. |

Great start, good luck with your grow. It reminds me of my filing cabinet.

Some more photos of the cab itself...
The black piece of wood faces the hole to prevent light from outside getting into the cab. I used draft strips on the top of the cab, the bottom has no strips, this is where all the air escapes the cab. I can feel air flow when I hold my hand there. The front view of the cab. It's positioned in the corner of a large closet. I used black duct tape on the sides where the cab meets the door to make sure it's all light-tight. And it worked - even with all the lights on I couldn't see any light coming through when I put it in a pitch-black room. The cab is placed on those small jelly-like earthquake pads to reduce vibration/sound. |

Thanks for all the replies
 Here a quick update of the Blue Mystic (week 5) - grown from seed. She's looking quite healthy. I transplanted her into this container last week. It holds 1.3 gallons of soil and the container is 4" tall. I found the container at the local dollar store - it's one of those dvd boxes. Then I drilled holes in the bottom and used the lid as the drain pan. She's under one 13w 6500k bulb now. I'm not quite sure if this will provide too much light to get her to fill up the screen nicely. Thinking to place the screen later this week at 4" above the soil line. |

Nice cab! Looking forward to seeing the Blue Mystic take off and fill up the cab.
Some of the LED domes you have to cut off with a hacksaw/dremel. Others you can pry off with a screw-driver and some just pop off by hand.

Blynx- can you tell us which brands were easier to work with when taking the cover off?

It's time for a revolution, but probably not in the terms that people imagine it.

That's not the kind of revolution I had in mind. I thought that it might be nice if it was handled a little bit more modern and efficient way, without people getting slaughtered. It's a matter of infiltration…The people who are in control of the media, the government that run the lives of the average person in the street. They aren't doing a good job 'cause they don't really care. The potential is there in the younger generation. Right now they’re not really interested. Their political involvement is on a very superficial basis. They go out for the social aspects of a march or a rally rather than for what it could possibly accomplish. -FZ |

Parallax it all depends on the bulb unfortunately like blynx has said, but once that is figured out the rest of them becomes easy, and the domes are just usually plastic so they take quite a bit to actually break. as for bsgospel i know for some of the philips ones they are glued/siliconed at a couple point where the dome meets the base, and if you run a razor blade through those points or all the way around the junction point, you then can pry off the dome, but saying that the 9w bulbs can pretty much be done by hand where as the 14w ones take a bit more force to do so and you usually have to use a flat head screw driver to pop them off.

Hold the bulb flat on on a hard surface with your palm on the bulb, put the screwdriver to the gap between housing and bulb with the fingers of the same hand and use your other hand to swing the hammer. A good knock on the back of the screwdriver will drive the flat head in. Watch the angle, so you don't crush your chips. Then twist the screwdriver- the bulb will lift a bit in that spot, move the crewdriver further along the gap, twist again and do this until the dome is off (one or two twists in total is normally sufficient). Once you get the hang of it- piece of cake. Osram bulbs i found much harder to open though... Good luck! CC

I believe it was HuffnPufferfish who suggested this one, drill a hole through both sides of the plastic dome, then stick a screw driver through both holes and pull it off.
