Looking a little familiar from the pictures she sent me, I deduced they were Supercloset cases. Hum I went. So after a drive I arrived to find he had 3 closets and a shit pot of grow items. But the best part of the deal was the 3 36x24x72 steel closets. 2 were from Supercloset and the third was a Hon clone. Turns out they were from a Trinity Setup. NICE, just what I was looking for. See, My girlfriend is a little paranoid about the who legal MJ grow thing (considering Fed Laws). So I have to be really, really low Key. A little negotiating later and this goodies were all mine. Told her that I would have it out today. Who new a Ford Explorer would fit a 36x72x24 cabinet perfectly. So three trips later, my storage unit is much fuller.
And So My Odyssey Begins.
The Good
600w HPS cool tube w/ e-ballast
400w HPS cool tube w/ e-ballast
Most, if not all of the original parts for the Supercloset and, this is the best part,
Is the SuperCloset under warranty?
All components (except the bulb) are under warranty for 3 years.
Do you provide technical support?
Yes, you get free lifetime support virtually 7 days a week. Email is the best way to get the most complete answers.
Apparently this was purchased in 2008 and after calling the maker, found it to be under warranty and with free tech support. Two, things, I have no affiliations with any companies and just saying it as it is.
But you do have to love An American Company. Call them and you get a human to answer the phone and actually talk to you. NICE.
All the hydro ebb and flow tubs, about 10 eco pumps, 4 air pumps, 10+ timers, A huge carbon filer, 4" inlone blower fan with controller, Sulphur Device, Canna nutrients (My tomato plants are loving me now), and a ton more stuff. Enough to fill 4 30 gallon totes. So a good day.
Now to my point. I am new, first timer and want to see what I can do. Any help here is appreciated and welcomed. My intention is to grow a cyclic garden with a three week turn rotation. Still undecided as to Soil or Aeroponics for medium choice.
I proceeded to bring the First Cabinet home to get ready to use. I have to store these cabinets upstairs in our place and want them to look go, but more importantly, be sanitary for the coming growth. So on close examination of the first cabinet, I found there to be a reasonable amount of rust under the edges of the cabinet, both inside and out. Hence this is my first project. Remove any foreign matter, including rust and organic remnants. Once this was done, I had to address the bottom of the cabinet. But it will have to wait until the next time.
However, for those of you that would like to build a perfect clone of a Supercloset, then here's some info for you to know. The growth/vegetative chamber comes with two shelfs. One upside down in the bottom of the cabinet. and the second mounted a few feet above. The insulation tape on the back of the unit and around the shelf is rubber foam tape and is 2" wide and 1/16 thick. Shortly, I will reveal what cabinet they use and build a basic template of what the mount points are located and where the holes are placed.
Till then Enjoy.

Looking forward to this as I myself have been looking at these for my grow. I was going to build out part of the closet and I would have a 49"w by 26"d by 98" tall space but seeing these one of the smaller ones would fit nicely in that space and it would be movable.

THANKS FOR THE SUB.
I think you can easily add wheels and would look for the ones that use a plate and mount 4 screws. My cabinets are going in a carpeted room, so I needed something for support and to keep the metal cabinets from scraping the ground. Home depot had the perfect solution, but I am getting ahead of myself. The cabinets are sourced from a major cabinet maker and are available most places including a major office store, but more on that in the next installment.
I have a few reasons for this thread, but want to help all with a closet grow and try to improve on what the super closet offers. Honestly I want to help myself as well, but I can imagine that I’m not the only person to see a Supercloset trinity and go I want one of those. I’m pretty sure I will be testing 12v marine products with the goal of running everything but the HPS lighting off 12volt. I know many use pc components to supply air, and some are worthy (I have 15 years as an MCSE) but I have not seen anyone use 12v controller widely available in the pc world. So that will be one of my first tests, since I have to assemble the cabinets with the help of Supercloset. From what I hear and have seen (plugged a few fans in together), the 120v version of the Supercloset is akin to a jet engine or bathroom fan when running and I can’t have that where I’m at currently.
