A Medicinal Refrigerator

My procrastinating ass finally bucked up and re-wired my old dual 150W HPS Ballast Box. It was too tight to fit the power supply for the fan inside and the timer was unreliable.
So I put a new timer in, added the power supply & cleaned everything. I cleaned it with Goof Off too so it removed any stickiness. I also added a 110v female plug to the timer/ballast to power the other ballast if needed.. Then labeled it HPS.
I made another Ballast Box from a piece of hardware a friend gave me. BTW Thanks.:-P
I cut the hole for the fan, drilled holes for it. I added a power supply for the fan. 3 knockouts opposite of fan handles airflow. I also added a green LED for the front. I put the HPS letters then used the X in the center with the LED. I was out of H's cause of all my CMH labeling. You can use 3 I's if you're baked and determined.:-P

You probably work like me. I have a garage with 12 feet of workbench space and I still gather up my work and move into the house in front of the TV. Drives my wife crazy!! :D :bigjoint:

If only you knew how true that one is. My whole bench is good for tools, parts, & clutter.:wall: I had dozens of nuts and screws & wire nuts around the TV for 2 days. Got shit from the sis and the H.G.:leaf:
I still have a 220v 400W HPS Ammo Ballast Box to make next. Better let them vac first.:fire:

They got the vacuuming done.:fire:
If you follow my thread Well Here Goes Again you've seen I've run out of room so I ordered this 3 x 3 grow tent. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390258658640
So instead of making the Ammo box wired for 220v I'll wire it to 110v to use for this tent. I have a 400W HPS bulb to use for now. I was thinking of how I could add a fan then remembered a comp fan with a metal plate. I dug it out from the box of fans to see if it would work. Look at how it fit with no work.:clap: I took it apart to clean it and make airflow in. It fit perfect.:-P I have to finish wiring it when I go to Lowes for some parts for the hood I'll make.
