To build or buy? Some help please.

Let me explain a bit more.

I lease an apartment now, so its very temporary until I figure out what state I wanna move to.

I have a loft type apartment, so I only have one secluded room with a door. In that room is a closet.
I need something built in to that room for a new veg/flower box. The closet is currently my flower box and I have a shit load of seedlings that need a home.

I can easily list tons of pros and cons for this situation. I don't feel its necessary thou to get any more in depth. Since I started this thread it has helped me think tons and for the price of the grow tent + the ease of use (Like the term, plug and play) it would be worth it just to buy it to have laying around.

I need to look into that panda shit ....Cause one way I was gonna do it was with a wooden frame but was un-decided on what material to use for lining.
I don't like the idea of a cabinet. Seems it would be heavy and hard to move if needed.

I have the tools lying around....Probably need a new blade on my saw at the max.

Just no 2x2's or 2x4 lying around....

Going to crunch some numbers on supplies, cause money and the budget is always the deciding factor..

You know a online merchant with reasonable pricing on the panda lining?

Oh I see what that lining is your talking about.... Just never heard it to that nomenclature before.

What mil would you recommend for dependability?

my clone closet which u could use as a veg and flower room.this is 1/2 a closet with one 2x3 wedged from floor to ceiling the other half has close i dont use very often...i wrpped black plastic all the wat around stuck a few staples in 2x3 to make corner and velco tape to close the door....the whole front u see is my door and when it is closed there are no light leeks....just a cloning closet but if i wanted to i could make a clone /veg room easy

i picked up one of these for a veg/mother/clone cab .... has 2 compartments 2w x 2d x 4t and the top is 4w x2d x 2t .. works great so far .. i use a 11" intake fan and the same for exhaust, it has a 150hps and temps run about 78 to 80. just a thought!

Thinking about picking this one up. Would I be able to fit 6 plants in one or most likely only 2-4?

I recently just took apart and burned off my old built cabinets and grow boxes and switched to a Sun Hut XL and I dont think I'll be switchin back anytime soon, this thing is amazing.

I'd say build your own tent from wood, black plastic and velcro strips. Velcro the sides on, so you can easily take it off. Saw a guy on youtube making his own tent like that - wouldn't take much more than an hour or two to build a cool little grow room. My own room is permanent, so the whole room is rebuild for it.

What size pots or what type of system are you incorporating?
