I have been working my ass off on this project over the weekend. It's made out of a special plywood. I added 2x2's for extra strength. It vents out the top, using a 180 cfm fan in the attic. The air goes thru an activated carbon filter, runs thru the attic to the outside. I have a shelf because some of the plants are shorter but need to be close to the light too. The light is a 400w Metal Halide; the remote ballast is outside the cabinet. I have two heavy duty magnetic catches but it still leaks light. I have a solution for that but it'll have to wait til tomorrow. The cabinet is sealed with acrylic caulk so no light or odors can get out. The fan is mounted near the ceiling. The power strip is also mounted to the wall as is the hygrometer/thermometer. I have another thermometer in the bag with one of the plants. I read on here where someone said "a lot of trouble could be saved by the use of a $5 lock. I thought that was a very salient observation and bought one.
