I'd love to make cabs for sale.. that would be a cool job, risky lol but never the less cool :) I could pretty much turn anything into a grow enviroment I am still yet to do a micro PC grow, seems pointless but I may do it one day just for fun :) - STELTHY
Alot of lazy people will pay alot of money for a decent grow cabinet, its not illegal aswell, used to grow vegatables :P

Ok in that case Ill add the in-duct fan and odor sock as soon as the ducting enters the loft, that way the run should be at least 2M shorter in length I was unaware the cfm's reduced every few feet.. so I'll take your advice.. thanks man :) No such luck no basement etc in our house.. so its all about loft space and an average sized AC I am sure it'll be ok though :) I'll draw up some more cab. ideas tommoz and post them, feel free to comment and add any tips etc, many thanks - STELTHY

This could well be a business idea, I could bite into.. say for example I was going to sell the cab I am working on now.. how much do you think I should sell it for?.. just as an idea.. I love this unit, and am keeping it, but in the future I could build a very simerlar one. I wonder how much shipping/postal charges etc would be though :) so estimate a cost I'd be interested in knowing what you think :) - STELTHY

Yeah i mean it looks like you are good at DIY,

and i doubt and dont think it would be a main source of income, but think about it as briniging some funds for a nice couple of holidays and whatnot during the year.

To be honest it doesnt take much effort to set up a simple 1 page HTML website, host it online, selling a decent grow cab, for a reasonable price (compared to the crazy ones that are sold on some hydroponic websites)

Just state honestly, will take a 2-3 weeks to make(if you only want to spend the time on the project when you know you have an order secured) and a week to deliver once done- will start construction when a cheque made payable to bla bla bla is recieved in the post and cashed. Or some shit like that.

blam blam couple of hundred quid ding dong

I am genuinley going to look into this... I will do some research on line and see if I can secure a small business loan etc.. then if all goes well I'll actually do this ... After I have finished this unit and have it up n running then... I'll start the business venture and see what I can make of it 'STELTHY' could be a house-hold name :) - STELTHY

I still havent done my wiring.. need to get some new leccy tape and some new wire snippers, and my cars in the garage getting a new rad. so gotta wait a day or 2 never mind thats given me time to measure the wood needed for the top box etc.... Anyhow here is my 2nd idea of how the finished cab could look with some minor alterations :) - STELTHY

Why the odor sock, isn't that an intake you could just use an AC filter or cheese cloth and get more cfm's flowing in from the loft.

Yeah its the intake... I wanted to make sure any dust, cobwebs or random bits of crap didnt make their way down the ducting and into the grow enviroment also I figured this may also be a good way to stop bug's etc from doing the same, and lastly I figured once the fans are off (along with the lights) then the smell wouldn't back-track up the ducting out into my loft where the breathable windy loft could blow the scent towards A-hole neighbours who would not hesitate to bust me... so I figured it would be a practical efficient extra to add. I also presumed that with an in-duct fan directly under the Odor Soc it would help pull the clean air in at a faster/ or fast enough rate, to be benificial to cool the cooltube at the correct rate... Would you not add an Odor Soc at the top like I have detailed? if not .. what would you put on the end to stop the smell back tracking and to stop insects/bugs etc from making their way in/ down the ducting into the growroom? I look forward to yours and anyone elses surjestions here.. as these are not my final designs and any improvements I can make will most probably be made, write back soon, many thanks - STELTHY

Um... Hip-Hop, am into scratchin' etc not used 'em in a while though need some new concords .. bit pricey lol been playin' my elec guitar whenever I have the time at the mo.. I am working on an outside project converting an old shed into a sound booth with decks etc but its hard to do 2 projects at the same time, expecially when you dont wanna make any mistakes on either one :) - STELTHY

These won't help with smell but if your exhaust runs all the time smell shouldn't be an issue.
Both of these will stop unwanted things getting in the cab while retaining good air flow.


This is an AC filter



This is cheese cloth
