Hey all, so glad to be back on the icmag forums after such a long time. Used to frequent the forums as noexcuses back in 2008/09. Im in the process of getting my new 250W cab up and running.
I've done several grows over the last 15ish years but its been a good 4 years since me and the missus did our last grow. Super excited and stoked to be getting "back to work". Also any advice or help anyone wishes to offer is always appreciated here.
So design wise I wanted a very similar design to the NGB Marijuana Stealth Cabinet as seen on here and OG forums from back in the day.
I knocked this up in sketchup

So the bottom left chamber will be our mother chamber where im hoping to keep 3 healthy bonsai mothers of different breeds for clone cuttings which will then go into the right main chamber for veg and then flower. Probably gonna go with a Scrog grow in the main chamber.
I've built a very rough unfinished version of the cab above which I will be fixing up/upgrading as this first grow progresses.

Temps are running around 25-26C with 67% humidty. I got myself a fan speed controller and temp/hygro unit with probe and it seems to be holding the temp really well without having the fan on max nonstop. This also reduces the noise the box generates and although sound stealth isnt really much of an issue its nice to not have something too loud.

As I say this is a very rough unfinished version of the box, I'm hoping to get it fixed up better as we get some more money in over the next few months.
Ideally I'd like to box it in with better looking more expensive cabinetry down the line so it looks more like a piece of furniture in our room rather than just an obvious grow box hehe.
I've got some seeds popping just now and will hopefully get em in the soil shortly. This first run im gonna do 6 from seed and midway through I should hopefully have the mother chamber up and running and can start growing some decent mothers for clones for the future after this first grow in her.
Really looking forward to this first grow in the new box and to getting the box up to better standard and producing decent stuff outta her.
So pull up a chair, spark one and hopefully enjoy the show lads. More to come on this one. I will post further details and updates of the box soon.
