Stealth cab closetmaid 2 door - Micro Grows - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Whats up microgowers

Cab design
I decided on https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002IT6E74..._1515890891657 as my next stealth cab.

This cab is exactly what panicmode used to great effect. I live in an apertment and need 100% stealth so loght proof and smell will be necessary.

Lights
I plan on using 8 screw in LED bulbs i have lying around mounted on the ceiling.

Ventilation
1 pc fan blowing on the top of the lights and a stronger pc fan blowing out the top of the cab. For a carbon scrubber im torn between using the pencil holder or using something like blynx has in his cab. A wooden square sandwiched with furnace filter, carbon, and hardware cloth.

I have a few questions.

1. Whats the best way to light proof the cab?
2. Did panicmode delete his thread? I cant find it :(

Best is a relative term.

There's weather striping (which didn't work for me), I remember blynx mentioning using bicycle rubber band I'm using folded black garbage bags, which worked really well and are dirt cheap.

I looked at your pictures and i totally get it now.

im definitely going to use trash bags and a noctua fan.

a wooden frame (with weatherstriping on it if needed) on the inside blocking the light that otherwise would hit the outside/gaps in the door, paint that black for more lightproofness
(inner tubes also work in some cases were striping wont)

good luck on making it soundproof, those fans go woooooh

Specially if you are going to put a carbon filter, even silent fans get noisier when attached to a filter.

jonhova · 01-14-2018, 07:36 PM

The scrubber will be on top of the cab like blynx has and the fan underneath it pushing into the filter. Athos said his fan is silent.

Athos · 01-14-2018, 07:53 PM

It is, but the resistance of scrubber adds a slight noise that in the middle of the night can be heard.
I'll be changing it for the Noctua A8 and use it undervolted, in order to make it completely silent, even in the dead of night

jonhova · 01-14-2018, 08:39 PM

Oh well i ordered the fan you recommend. It was only $15. If i can get it to be near silent to not attract attention im fine. If anything i can put a radio on top to mask any noise.

HuffnPufferfish · 01-14-2018, 08:52 PM

what i mean is, if you put a silent fan on 6v and put it in an cabinet, and your mother in law stands in front of it, she WILL hear it

if you take a more powerful fan at 12v with filter, it will make noise.

the majority of people cannot sleep with the silent buzzing of a computer in the same room, ive gotten mine to sounds like that (so with computer on i almost cannot hear it) but with the computer off, in the middle of the night, it sounds pretty loud

For sure. Its in my bedroom which i doubt my landlord will ever spend more than 5 seconds in doing yearly walk through inspections.
