Just have to ask why would you bother adding all this extra usless garbage into you cab. I would think you would like your grow space as neat and clutter free as possible. I Find it hard to believe that having a TP and Toothbrush holder inside your cabs growing area is more handy then keeping it in a drawer outside the cab. I was always under the impression that in small areas like this space was for plants, not toiletpaper :) sweet cab tho, minus the buttwipe

He said it early on. He placed them items there so he could keep all the necessities needed for growing close, and all together. The TP roll is to clean up messes. I think I would have used paper towels, but the TP is smaller. And they don't consume much space, they are out of the way.

Hey Stelthy! Flicked through this journal... really impressive mate - keep up the good work!!

Been checking out the syn system website and found this : http://www.sunlightsupply.com/hort/products.aspx?request=HORT_YIELDMASTER_10IN_REFL&title=Reflectors&type=product

Looks like the right thing for me, but unfortunately, I'm not sure they ship to Europe (and it would be way too expensive anyway, I guess)...

A pity. These reflectors look better than the normal wing-reflectors since you don't need the cool tube around them to cool em! Just plug the duct in the sides and voila...

Don't you think that the spectrum of light is however limited with these reflectors? I mean you can't bend the metal upwards like the other ones, so that the light stretches out more

Cheer's dude, I am so glad the finishing line is in site, Yeah Sun System's are hard to buy from...I was lucky..I searched their site for what I was after and then ran a searc on E-Bay and very luckily found what I was looking for :) So try E-Bay you should have some luck there :) The light ouput is very 'uniform' but will cover well...The larger ones can seriously cover some ground ie the XXXL and the BlockBuster. although you cant erm...extend the amount of light to cover a wider area the ground it does cover is very concentrated :) - STELTHY :leaf:

Lol, not so much 'useless-garbage' :) I like to have everything self contained and baring in mind spills do happen, and its always best to clean as you go to keep the growroom clean and grow friendly, I used TP as its cheap and compact, I could've used kitchen role or Man Sized tissue's etc but that would have taken up way more space, the reason I have it on a silver holder is to keep it elevated so any spills don't fall onto it (if I stored it under the black curtain, bottom) and by doing so allows me to tuck the loose end in so as it cant blow into the lights duct and be a fire hazzard!

I could of course do as you say and store the contents of the toothbrush holder in a draw else where in the room....'BUT' then its not so self contained anymore, I mean you wouldn't keep your eggs bacon or milk in the video draw of your lounge, You need those items in the Kitchen so like wise, the things I need are self contained. It just happens these are the best way's to store the items I need :)

Yeah plant space is number 1 but theres still plenty of room cos I plan to scrog :)

Hope that answers your question :) - STELTHY :leaf:

Just read through this entire post...took about 5 hours...very nice. Found it interesting because I am setting up a similar closet that measures 2.5ft wide x 3ft deep by 5 feet high that I will use for blooming only.

Been debating on a 400hps or a 600hps but I am concerned about the heat. I plan on using a hood and putting a 450cfm fan right off of it which will draw through my cabinet from two 2" inlets down low. The air will be directed right outside and the air coming in will be 60degree F air from the basement. From what you have seen in your cabinet of similar size, think I will have any heat problems?
