Hello folks,

let me invite all of you, to my "build a cab" thread.This will be my first ever cab, so I will need lots of you support.I ve been lurking around for some time now, and seen all yours great designs of diferent cabs, and I hope I learned enough to build my own. But at the same time I noticed that none of you (or i just missed his thread ) has done an verticall cab grow, so I decided to give it a try. It will be a micro vertical scrog setup with aircooled 150 hps for flowering, and about 250W of flouros.I have to go stealth so the cab will be cooled only with pc fans on speed controlers.




I ve done some drawing, and ended up with this



flower cab with 150 hps on the left, and veg/preflower half on the right




together




Flower room from top and 4pcs of net




and finaly the "mechanism" how to get the plants out of the cab







First build up pic coming soon....

Let s start now.I ve puted the cab together, and mounted in same shelfs <-- (?), and magnets on the edges of the doors.I want you guys to see some pic,so here are the first ones


here is the cab without the doors on




flower room with shelf on rails




veg (moms+clones) on the left, and veg/preflower part on the right side ( will contain 120w of flouros )

Looks clean and well put together. I am curious to see if it works the way you would like. While I am not an expert on the subject I feel you may run into some issues but I may be looking at your drawings wrong. I'll be keeping my eye on your progress. Good luck

if youve got the money hand a 400 watt in ther vert and air cool it in a cool tube. you would yeild amazingly in that setup.

Hey there Frank, tnx for stopin in. If you see some issues please tell.I can still make some changes if I have to.I only started building it. I ll apreciate all yours help felows.

C21H30O2,

I belive that 400w would be too much for that small cab, it s only 3sqft and 36 inches tall.I already have a 150 hps with remote balast, and will make DIY 4.7inch cooltube with 95m3/h (400-1500rpm) computer fan.I hope that 150 wont couse me heat issues.Maybe once in the future, if the temps will alow, I ll upgrade with higher watts, but still probably no more than 250-300.

[FrankRizzo]

I wouldn't change anything on my account. I just am curious if the space surrounding you bulb will be enough for the plant and not have any heat/lightbleaching issue by the end of you run. Thats all. I haven't seen vertical done this small so it should be interesting to see how the whole thing turns out. Maybe someone with more experience can chime in.

Frank , the space betwen cooltube and net is up to 6 inch, and to bulb 8.6 inch.Cooltube will have own intke.I know I have little space, but with good screen job I shuold be just fine........ hope so
