How to seal a growbox?

Hello all,

This is my first post and it is good to be a part of the community.

My question today is this, how do i seal a grow box?

My set up is a stealth grow box, split up into three chambers, clones, veg, and flowering stages.
I am using an armoire as my disguise. It is roughly 6'x3'x2.5'. The lights are separated from the plants by 1/4" glass.
Im using the Sentinel UTC-1 thermostat with photocell, and a 180 cfm fan. the air way begis with a 4" hole in the veg,
goes down into the clone room, into up into the flower chamber, through the fan into the lighting area, into the carbon
scrubber, out through two 3" holes in the top.

How do i seal the front doors? This is the only problem left and ill be on my way to my first crop!

Photos later.

Panda plastic and a tarp tape zipper. You will have 2 doors to open but it will seal. And if you offset the zipper from the center no light should get in or out.

Pics would help better.
 
Here are my early photos, ill post more in a few hours.

Her is the veg chamber (top left), the air flow comes in the box through the upper left area, and down into the clone chamber.

Here is the flower chamber, its 2.5x the size of the veg chamber, air enters here from the clone chamber.

This is the light chamber, air enters here from the flower chamber via a 180cfm fan, the lights are seperated by glass (not shown)

hope this helps with the advice needed, ill be checking this frequently, all help is appreciated.

Have a good toke,

That's what I'm thinking, I'm putting the top doors on tonight with new hinges to get a closer seal. I have some light proof curtains I was fonna modify into a light shield, but I need a fully sealed box for my circulation system to work, it uses a vacuum style pull from the chambers into the lights, I'll post more photos in the am, for now, off to my boring job... Good thing I have something special to keep my thoughts occupied.

have you considered training your plant at all? it looks like you have a rather long stem and not a lot of room to grow
 
These are some corn plants, just seeing how they grow, I did fim one of them, the veg chamber is much taller, just using the bottom as a safe spot will I build.
