Hey everyone, i am planning on building my own custom grow cab and im not exactly sure how i need to build it, i have ideas of how i want it as far as looks. I want it to look like a hutch or like a pantry cabinet or something with nice cherry oak stain so it looks like a piece of household furniture on the outside and a beautiful garden on the inside...

I have a few things i need help with, i was wondering how much space i should need to grow 6 plants (flowering), also how much space should i need for the veg side? As i plan on making the cab split with a bigger flower room? I plan on making the veg room much smaller. And i am wondering how much light and what kind i should use and if anyone knows of any cheap discount lighting sites. Hers a few pics of just some different cabs im looking at to help me design the perfect cab for me..... Please, any help is greatly appreciated....i am a first time medical grower and need a little help and need to know what exactly i will need for my cab?

I suggest simply purchasing a grow tent and all the things required to grow in one. But if you're hell bent on building a seemingly stealth cabinet. CFL's are going to probably be your best bet as far as lighting goes due to the heat which an HPS will put off but if you go for a large enough cabinet an HPS would work with proper cooling methods. Spacing really just depends on how large you want to let your plants get so that is a decision best made by you. HTG supply has the cheapest lights around to my knowledge though earlier today I did read some bad things about them but I've never had problems with them or their products myself so purchase at your own risk if you do decide to go with them. Also, getting angry and insulting the community at large really isn't going to urge anyone to help you and if you stay here long enough you'll see that threads get a lot more views than they do replies. Theres a lot of readers and people who utilize the sight that may just not know the answers to what you're asking. Keep that attitude around here and you'll get no help...

actually your wrong, i was nice the whole time and no response, i tell everyone to suck it and you take a moment to help me cause you obviously realize im frustrated, so yea being aggressive does work better sometimes.... anyways i would like to say thank you for your input... well im planning on building a pretty decent size cabinet i was thinkin maybe a 400w hps? what size fans do you think i will need? thank for the help... sometimes you gotta push and shove your way through the crowd otherwise youd be stuck on stop....

Good luck on getting any help now for calling everyone bastards for not responding to your thread. Which we do not have to do. It looks like you got yourself a bunch of pics right? So find out where they came from and what they used. Or even easier, try a little searching before asking the simplest of questions. No disrespect, just saying the info is everywhere.

I just read your first post, and was about to offer my input, until I read your later posts, at which point I thought "fuck that". You have to make people want to help you, which they won't with an attitude like yours.
