My New stealth Cabinet

Okay so here is my new Grow cabinet.
MY old dresser has been freshly renovated.
16" X 30" by 3' Tall. riped out all the drawers and broke the face off of all of them, then screwed them all in place
Painted it all white as you can see. caulked all the cracks so it is air tight and light proof, hung some hooks so i can hang lights and cords,
im going to mount a power strip on the wall up high. I drilled a hole on the top behind where my tv sits, mounted a pc fan to draw air in and cool down lights, and plants. Cut a panel to fit in on the side, need to paint it blue to match the cabinet, and white on the inside, much more to come as i get more supplies and stuff starts to grow

Nothing......

Well here i have created me a reflector for a couple large CFLs, created all out of duct tape, reflective duct tape and siding sheetmetal for a house, and two rubber sockets for the bulbs... oh and two wire nuts and a power cord that i cut off some old appliance. now that its done i need to go buy another light bulb... they only had one at home depot this big (68 Watts). looks like i will drive to the other home depot and hope to find one. the bulb was only 12 dollars and says is equivalent to 300 watts and 4,200 lumens, so i figure with two of them that is 8,400 lumens right on top of the plants....


let me know what you think...

i would do a lil more research on your light spectrums, Also test your light ballast first duct tape melts and you dont want your rig falling down or worse starting a fire while your away but nice start!

yea that is why i used the reflective duct tape... it is real duct tape made for ducts which can handle heat...plus they are CFLs they dont get that hot... plus how i built it was pretty strong without tape

the spectrum is 2700... is that not good?
