grow box slowly but surely coming along

[alshuray1]

so my project slowly coming around
i couldnt find a stanley blower so i had to order one online (intake outake )
i puchased a storage cabinet 7 feet,30 cm wide, 18cm deep
i bought a cool tube
400 watt hid with ballast

this is my design
any suggestions

k the cool tube is a little big
its 36 cm and the space is 30 cm
so i have to cut a hole and push the tube in
i will have to run the duct work from the stanley blower and exhaust through the cool tube and out the other side (blowing out of the box )
then intake sucks in hot air just under cooltube
im using 2 230 cfm fans with dimmer in big grow space
i think ur right about res area i just wanted a drip system running on a timer
figured gravity would help my cause
second
only four plants cause im not trying to have a big op
and get pinched
just persy
third i think ur right aabout the small veg space
i figured i could start in a 1 foot space 13 cm wide with four cfls/ 150 cfm fan
then move the plants to the big space
(wanted 2 separate spaces) big grow space primary veg space secondary

i thank u for your imput

stanley blower finaly done here r some pics
i mounted a 5 inch wall connector on to the intake portion of the blower
(just fold the wall connectors flaps so that the it just sits over intake fan
then simply duct tape it into place) make sure it secure.
next for the exhaust i used a 5' inch reducer
i placed it over the exhaust then used a little bucket to hold it into place
then i filled the holes with this kind of sealant called great stuff (very messy use gloves)
u can buy this at canadian tire

during my infinet reading i stumbled on this one
it was perfect for my grow box
more little goodies yet to be posted
need to find the usb adapter for my cam
using cheesy macbook cam

 

[alshuray1]

i finally installed my intake out take
in my grow box
not so stealthy any mor e
i used 6'' inch vent piping both for the intake outtake to 6 inch connecters mounted on the stanley blower
it was hell to put this stuff on to connecters
as seen on recent post

 

[alshuray1]

heres a better understanding
of my layout of my grow box

 

[alshuray1]

another update
one step closer to the end

 

[alshuray1]

it is on the right !. i dont know why it looks like that pic taken with my macbook


k so the intake sucks out the hot air in grow cab goes through
the stanley blower and back through exhaust through cool tube
then out into the room (now i have several choices frequently open closet door
let air out or vent into wall since there's noting there 1/2 foot of space
only problem is i don t know where the space leads to(live in apt )
or put a portable ac in there

sorry guys bin a while
i had run out of money and had to raise more capital to further project
greentree
i have almost completed my germ/veg box just need some kind of wet mat for plant pot leakage and still waiting for fan to
come in.
lights are working
i used 3 cfls 23 watt each 1600 lumens each and mounted them to the roof and used some old 125 volt power plugs i had lying around to power fixtures (thinking of using more) 1 more on each side wall
here's some pic's

 

[alshuray1]

cheesy pics
will show more detailed pics

 

[alshuray1]

when i close the growbox door the noise is minimal. Close the closet door no sound.i am going to build something to control the smell. can find that easy in forum.

 

[alshuray1]

got the fan for the veg box might need 2
the fan i got is 3000 rpm and is a 133.60 cfm
12v is spliced a 125v plug and i fried one. so i used a cellphone
12v plug works fine
here are some pics

great job ! , i love your work .. but i hope those are strong fans

 

[alshuray1]

testing mini veg box now
growing master kush from seed
bought a moister meter just to make sure
made my own humidity cover
old candy container (well its not old jus dumped out all candy)
any ways here is some pics

 

[alshuray1]

so i have 2 seeds germinating in veg grow
but i just realized ill need 2 more lights on left side
and another fan on the right
also i may need to use smaller pots maybe trays

 

[alshuray1]

so i added 2 40 watt cfls alot bigger took up 3 inch horizontal space more than 23 watt cfls
i added another fixtures that makes 4 now
also added another fan
i f#$%ed up
i didnt align the light fixtures
oh well still works for what i want
so in total i have 4 cfls 2 23 watt 2 40 watt
and 2 fans
lumens output 8400 :]
here are some pics

 

[alshuray1]

k mini veg box got to hot so i had to run an in take
to suck air out
all i did was run 4 inch duct pipe from the main 6 inch intake duct pipe
cut out a hole at back of min veg box (close to top) then stick pipe
through. duct tape seal
and good to go
heres some pics

 

[alshuray1]

the last pic is the back cant really get back their to take a good pic
need to organize wiring thats all for mini veg (cfls plugs)
