Future Cabinet Grow Design

[ChatNoir]

I intent to use this module for all purpose vegetative grow. The big space on the left is general vegetative room, the small space on the right top is seedling and cloning room. The bigger space on the right is used as a mother room.

Shelves are mobile, you can move them 1inch at a time, big shelf mounts 18 CFLs, small shelves mount 6 CFLs. Safe for seedling compartment, all the lights are mounted on shelves and by moving a shelf, you move the light up and down. Only in seedling compartment, you move the shelf to move seedlings up and down and lights are stationary.

I am still newbie at Google Sketch (thanks for people suggesting me to use that application.) so please forgive my mistakes at design.

I am looking forward to your suggestions.

lookin pretty good but i dont know if i would want to mount 18 cfl's....that will be such a pain seeing how you will have to raise all of them on multiple occasions...i would look into flourescent lighting and maybe add a few cfl's ontop of that...

sorry just reread your design on mounting the lights on the shelf and moving it...but i still dont follow exactlly

"The big space on the right is general vegetative room, the small space on the right top is seedling and cloning room. The bigger space on the right is used as a mother room."

did you mean the big space on the left?

Yes, I tried to mean left for general vegetative, right small for seedling, right large for mother.

Looks like a cool plan. I like the mobile shelves for adjustability. Are you planing on having just passive intake and exhaust? I would probably hook up a decent fan to pull air from your mother area thru your seedling area and out your vegging area. Probably take a 265+/-cfm to pull thru all that channeling effect. Maybe a little less cfm since your sticking with CFL's. Just remeber that you need good air exchange regardless of heat/temp. Just my $.02!

The bottom left hole is intake fan and the bottom right hole is exhaust, so that air have to pass from each room to reach the exhaust from intake. Two fans.

Ah, going the opposite way but still gets the job done.

*makes a mental note "Switch the fans"*
